SUMMARY:Charge transport in molecular semiconductors – Bloch electron or
  hopping transport ? - Prof. Henning Sirringhaus\, FRS\, Cavendish Laborat

CONTACT:Leona Hope-Coles
DESCRIPTION:Semiconductors based on van-der-Waals bonded molecular crystal
 s have peculiar electronic properties differing markedly from those of cov
 alently bonded semiconductors such as silicon. Improved control over molec
 ular self-assembly processes from solution has recently led to materials i
 n which intrinsic molecular transport processes can be investigated. Their
  performance is rivalling that of thin film silicon which is leading to a 
 range of interesting applications enabling electronic functions to be inte
 grated into novel form factors and environments. In this talk we will disc
 uss current understanding of the fundamental charge transport physics of t
 hese molecular semiconductors and address in particular the question wheth
 er charge transport in these materials is best described in a molecular ho
 pping or a Bloch electron framework.
