Organic molecules for new electronic devices

In our everyday lives, we use a wide range of electronic devices (computer, mobile phone, TV, etc.) that are based on inorganic materials, and mainly on silicon. However, great interest is currently being shown in the development of devices based on organic molecules, and for two very different reasons. On one hand, using organic semiconductors will enable us to manufacture devices that are light, low-cost and flexible. On the other hand (and from a more fundamental perspective), using individual molecules as units of memory could give rise to a greater miniaturisation of existing devices. In this lecture, the speaker will offer an overall view of the field of organic electronics, and will briefly present some of the areas of research in which ICMAB is currently working.
