A roadmap from modeling transport in organic semiconductors to challenges in paper
Karin Zojer, Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Graz

What have organic semiconductors and paper in common? What is the answer having transport modeling in mind? Fueled by my experience in modeling charge transport in organic devices, I am convinced that the fields of organic electronics and paper can cross-fertilize each other, ... more

Thermal transport in metal-organic frameworks from first principle calculations
Tomas Kamencek, Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Graz

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been intensively studied during the last years due to their numerous possible applications, for example in gas absorption and catalysis. In spite of their importance, the heat transport properties of MOFs are rarely investigated, although they ... more

Ultrathin and Conformal Polymer Films for Organic Surfaces and Devices
Karen Gleason, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), as practiced by the semiconductor industry, typically utilizes high powers and high temperatures to drive non-selective chemistry. These aggressive conditions are incompatible with reactants possessing fragile organic functional groups. However, u ... more

Deposition of Functional Polymers onto Liquid Surfaces
Malancha Gupta, University of Southern California

This talk will present the mechanism, kinetics, and applications associated with the vapor phase deposition of functional polymers onto liquid surfaces with negligible vapor pressures such as ionic liquids (ILs) and silicone oils. The polymer morphology at the liquid/vapor interf ... more

Structure prediction of organic - metal interfaces: Going beyond monolayer coverage
Alexander Egger, Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Graz

In presence of a surface organic molecules often crystallize in special phases with properties superior to those of bulk phases. However, resolving those surface-induced thin film phases remains a huge challenge, in particular for first-principle calculations. While efficient str ... more
