We aim to understand the origins of intrinsic charge carrier traps in organic and polymeric semiconductor materials from a physical chemistry perspective. In crystalline semiconductors, we point out some inadequacies description using language concepts developed for inorganic semiconductors. π-conjugated suggest presence two-tier electronic energy landscape, bimodal majority landscape due two dominant structural motifs minority charged defects. The results combination amorphous domains...

Petacene is one of the most promising organic semiconductors for thin-film transistors. Transport measurements in past have established presence shallow traps but their origins remained a mystery. Here we show that vapor-deposited crystalline pentacene thin films are due to local defects resulting from sliding molecules along long molecular axis, while two-dimensional packing maintained. Electronic structural calculation confirms these shallow-charge with energies ⩽100meV above (below)...

Stabilization of excess electrons is studied at crystalline ice−metal interfaces by femtosecond time-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Following optical excitation into delocalized image potential states, localize pre-existing defects which are located the ice−vacuum interface. Remarkably, stabilization these trapped monitored continuously from femtoseconds up to minutes. By first principle calculations we identify defect structures, that support in...

Recently, the structural disorder-induced topological phase transitions in periodic systems have attracted much attention. However, aperiodic such as quasicrystalline systems, interplay between disorder and band topology is still unclear. In this work, we investigate effects of on a quantum spin Hall insulator higher-order two-dimensional Amman-Beenker tiling lattice, respectively. We demonstrate that can induce transition from normal to an amorphous phase, which confirmed by bulk gap...

Two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectroscopy is used to examine the excited electronic structure and dynamics at polyacene/Au(111) interfaces. Image resonances are observed in all cases (benzene, naphthalene, anthrathene, tetracene, pentacene), as evidenced by free-electron like dispersions surface plane dependences of these on adsorption nonane overlayers. The binding energies lifetimes similar for five Adsorption top films pushes electron density image resonance away from metal surface,...
