A key breakthrough in modern electronics was the introduction of band structure engineering, design almost arbitrary electronic potential structures by alloying different semiconductors to continuously tune gap and band-edge energies. Implementation this approach organic has been hindered strong localization states these materials. We show that influence so far largely ignored long-range Coulomb interactions provides a workaround. Photoelectron spectroscopy confirms ionization energies...

Abstract The functionality of organic semiconductor devices crucially depends on molecular energies, namely the ionisation energy and electron affinity. Ionisation affinity values thin films are, however, sensitive to film morphology composition, making their prediction challenging. In a combined experimental simulation study zinc-phthalocyanine its fluorinated derivatives, we show that changes in as function orientation neat or mixing ratio blends are proportional quadrupole component along...

p-Type molecular doping of organic materials with high ionization energies (IEs) above 5.50 eV is still a challenge, limiting the use in high-performance light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Here, we investigate dopant hexacyano-trimethylene-cyclopropane (CN6-CP) electron affinity 5.87 as p-dopant OLEDs. We show that CN6-CP can be used not only traditional hole transport material 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebis[ N, N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine] (TAPC, IE = eV) but also effectively dopes host...

Increasing the amount of charge carriers by molecular doping is important to improve function several organic electronic devices. In this work, we use highly fluorinated fullerene (C60F48) p-type dope common amorphous host materials. We observe a general relation between material's electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient, both strongly depending on energy level offset dopant. This suggests that efficiency at similar levels mainly determined electron transfer yield from Indeed, dopant...

Organic electronics is the technology enabling truly flexible electronic devices. However, despite continuous improvements in charge-carrier mobility, devices used for digital circuits based on organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have still not achieved a commercial breakthrough. A substantial hurdle to realization of effective circuitry proper control threshold voltage Vth. Previous approaches include doping or self-assembled monolayers provide control. while monolayers-modified OFETs...

Abstract Organic light‐emitting materials exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) show great promise for improving display applications. Recently, intermolecular effects between emitting molecules have been given more attention, revealing strong solid‐state solvation or aggregation induced changes of sample performance. Implications this on device performance are not yet fully covered. In work, a thorough investigation novel TADF emitter, methyl...

Abstract In modern electronics, it is essential to adapt band structures by adjusting energy levels and gaps. At first sight, this “band structure engineering” seems impossible in organic semiconductors, which usually exhibit localized electronic states instead of Bloch bands. However, the strong Coulomb interaction semiconductors allows for a continuous shift ionization (IE) over wide range mixing molecules with halogenated derivatives that different quadrupole moments. Here, effect level...

Multiple degradation mechanisms limit the lifetime of integrated circuits (ICs). Different aspects can be tackled with Design for Reliability approaches already during circuit design to avoid serious implications ICs in field. For example, aging simulations performed investigate impact transistors onto performance. Since these cause a significant verification effort, we work on efficiently feed reliability information back designers. This article discusses their application scenarios and benefits.

In modern electronics, it is essential to create almost arbitrary band structures by adjusting the energy bands and gap. Until now, structure engineering in organic semiconductors has not been possible, since they usually exhibit localized electronic states instead of bands. a recent publication [1], we showed that possible continuously shift ionization (IE) over wide range mixing them with halogenated derivatives.

The efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes that utilize the principle thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) depends sensitively on host material in which TADF emitter molecules (guests) are embedded. Potential loss processes “deconfinement,” transfer excitons from guest to host, and “dissociation,” formation intermolecular charge-transfer states. We investigate how both can be suppressed by studying photoluminescence efficiency, emission spectrum, time-resolved intensity eight...
