Woodhead Publishing Handbook of Organic Materials for Electronic and Photonic Devices: Properties and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials)

Handbook of Organic Materials for Electronic and Photonic Devices, Second Edition, provides an overview of the materials, mechanisms, characterization techniques, structure-property relationships, and most promising applications of organic materials. This new release includes new content on emerging organic materials, expanded content on the basic physics behind electronic properties, and new chapters on organic photonics. As advances in organic materials design, fabrication, and processing that enabled charge unprecedented carrier mobilities and power conversion efficiencies have made dramatic advances since the first edition, this latest release presents a necessary understanding of the underlying physics that enabled novel material design and improved organic device design. Provides a comprehensive overview of the materials, mechanisms, characterization techniques, and structure property relationships of organic electronic and photonic materials Reviews key applications, including organic solar cells, light-emitting diodes electrochemical cells, sensors, transistors, bioelectronics, and memory devices New content to reflect latest advances in our understanding of underlying physics to enable material design and device fabrication Review Comprehensive reference on the most relevant materials, mechanisms, characterization methods, structure-property relationships and applications of organic materials From the Back Cover Comprehensive reference that looks at the most relevant materials, mechanisms, characterization methods, structure-property relationships, and applications of organic materials. Provides a comprehensive overview of the materials, mechanisms, characterization techniques and structure property relationships of organic electronic and photonic materials Reviews key applications including organic solar cells, light-emitting diodes and electrochemical cells, sensors, transistors, bioelectronics, and memory devices New content to reflect latest advances in understanding of underlying physics to enable material design and device fabrication Organic materials are attractive due to their low cost, the possibility of their deposition from solution onto large-area substrates, and the ability to tailor their properties. In the second edition of Handbook of Organic Materials for Electronic and Photonic Devices experts provide an overview of the materials, mechanisms, characterization techniques, structure-property relationships and most promising applications of organic materials. The second edition includes new content on emerging organic materials, expanded content on the basic physics behind optical and electronic properties, and new chapters on organic photonics. Advances in organic materials design, fabrication, and processing that enabled charge unprecedented carrier mobilities and power conversion efficiencies have made an update to the first edition necessary. The new edition also reflects the latest advances in understanding of underlying physics that enabled novel material design and improved organic device design.
