MRS Symposium J: Interfaces in Organic and Molecular Electronics

The issue of how to make reproducible electrical contacts to organic materials and individual molecules is critical to the continuing development of organic and molecule-based devices, such as OFETs, OLEDs, and molecular switches. This symposium will focus on understanding the fundamental electronic and structural properties of interfaces important to organic and molecular electronics.

Systems of interest include:

· Metal/organic semiconductor interfaces
· Metal/molecule or semiconductor/molecule interfaces
· Organic/dielectric interfaces relevant to organic field effect transistors (OFETs)

Both experimental and theoretical contributions on physical and chemical aspects of the electronic nature of these interfaces are welcomed. These contributions can include, but are not limited to:

· Electrical measurements (including SPM-based methods and other contacting schemes)
· Relevant types of spectroscopies
· Quantum chemical, solid-state physics, and physical electronic (EE) models, calculations, and simulations

The symposium will also be concerned with the issue of differences between wet electrochemical and dry device systems.

Joint sessions are anticipated with Symposia K: Functional Organic Materials and Devices, and V: Critical Interfacial Issues in Thin Film Optoelectronic and Energy Conversion Devices, and
