Understanding and Controlling the Factors that Affect Carrier Mobility in Doped Conjugated — NSF Award to University of California

Nontechnical Abstract Semiconductors are used in many types of devices, including computer chips, displays, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices that directly convert heat to electricity. Most semiconductors are made of hard materials, such as silicon, that are expensive to process and manufacture. This project expl

AbstractNontechnical Abstract Semiconductors are used in many types of devices, including computer chips, displays, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices that directly convert heat to electricity. Most semiconductors are made of hard materials, such as silicon, that are expensive to process and manufacture. This project explores the properties of plastic semiconductors that are lightweight, flexible and inexpensive to process into devices. The main challenge facing the development of plastic semicondu
