Research

Goal 1

Professor Jean-Luc Brédas leads CISSEM’s research Goal 1 assisted by co-leads Professor Oliver Monti and Professor Antoine Kahn. Research in Goal 1 will: “Develop new theories for charge transfer between molecular semiconductors and electrical contact or interlayer materials.” For Years 4 and 5, the scientific questions being pursued by CISSEM relevant to Goal 1 are:

How is the selectivity and efficiency of charge collection across organic semiconductor/metal oxide contact or interlayer interfaces controlled by the electronic properties of the contact or interlayer materials and organic semiconductor?
How are the electronic properties of organic semiconductor/metal oxide contact or interlayer interfaces controlled by the surface coverage, bonding, orientation, redox functionality, and/or dipolar nature of surface or interface modifiers?

Recent CISSEM-funded publications featuring Goal 1 research:

Matthew Gliboff, Lingzi Sang, Kristina M Knesting, Matthew C Schalnat, Anoma Mudalige, Erin L Ratcliff, Hong Li, Ajaya K Sigdel, Anthony J Giordano, Joseph J Berry, Dennis Nordlund, Gerald T.
