Inorganic semiconductors like silicon and germanium are the foundation of modern
electronic devices. However, they have certain limitations, such as high production costs …

In the following we provide a comprehensive review of singlet fission in organic materials.
We first sketch an outline of the underlying theory and then turn to molecular crystals …

Organic semiconducting single crystals are perfect for both fundamental and application‐
oriented research due to the advantages of free grain boundaries, few defects, and minimal …

Acenes have long been the subject of intense study because of the unique electronic
properties associated with their π‐bond topology. Recent reports of impressive …

Multiple exciton generation (MEG) refers to the creation of two or more electron-hole pairs
from the absorption of one photon. Although MEG holds great promise, it has proven …

The invention of the transistor in 1947 by John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter
Brattain is regarded as one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century since it is the basic …

Theoretical investigations of charge transport in organic materials are generally based on
the “energy splitting in dimer” method and routinely assume that the transport parameters …

An increase or modification of structural order in the vicinity of a solid substrate is known for
a wide range of materials. For molecular materials crystallizing on a solid surface it has been …

We have obtained a hole mobility for the organic conductor pentacene of μ= 35 cm 2/V s at
room temperature increasing to μ= 58 cm 2/V s at 225 K. These high mobilities result from a …

The remarkable development of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) has led to their
emerging use in active matrix flat-panel displays, radio frequency identification cards, and …
