Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

Introduction to organic chemistry. Molecular systems and molecular films. Carrier transport and optical phenomena in molecules and molecular films. Organic Thin Film Transistors, LEDs, lasers, solar cells. Flexible antennas. Single molecule diodes. Optical and physical sensors. Carbon-nanotube-based devices and systems. Architectures and circuits for organic electronics. Flexible displays. Future directions. Through the Praktikum, it will be possible to work on some small projects, selected from a list of topics covering both experimental, computational and economical topics.

Learning Outcome

The module is intended to give an introduction to the field of molecular and polymer electronics with the goal of providing the basis for the understanding of molecular devices, both in the form of conventional ones (diodes, LED, transistors, solar cells) as well as those based on single molecules. The lecture will be complemented by practical experiences conducted in the laboratories and in the computer rooms.
