  Area of Education:

Subject area:

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course aims to give an introduction to organic electronics. After having passed the course, the student is expected to be able to:
  • Integrate knowledge in modern physics, mathematics and soft materials
  • Explain and use basic models for electronic structure in organic electronic materials
  • Explain and use basic models for optical absorption and luminescence in organic electronic materials
  • Explain and use basic models for charge transport in organic electronic materials
  • Explain and use basic models for charge injection in organic electronic materials
  • Explain and use basic models for magnetoresistance in organic electronic materials and devices
  • Explain and use basic models for electric and optical effects in organic electronic photovoltaic, electroluminescent and electrochromic devices
  • Explain and use the interdependency of structural, electronic and optical properties in organic electronic materials
  • Acquire and use knowledge from research literature
  • Make an oral presentation using modern visual technology explaining a research paper to fellow students and demonstrate ability to offer constructive critique to an oral presentation


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic knowledge in modern physics, mathematics and soft materials

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures.

Course contents:
  • Basic models for electronic structure in organic electronic materials: molecular orbitals, hybridization, from bonds to bands
  • Basic models for optical absorption and luminescence in organic electronic materials: luminisence, phosphoresence, excitons, exciton diffusion, exciplex, exciton dissociation
  • Electrical properties of organic electronic materials: charge carriers, charge transport, charge injection
  • Electro-optical properties in organic electronic materials: electroluminescence and electrochromism
  • Magneto-electro-optical properties in organic electronic materials: magnetoresistance, photo-induced magnetism and magnetically-controlled luminescence
  • Interdependency of structural, electronic and optical properties in organic electronic materials
  • Overview of organic electronic components: light emitting devices, photovoltaic cells, transistors and spin-valves.
