![]() While it is clear that for certain applications like high-speed electronics inorganic materials are superior in terms of performance (due to their higher charge carrier mobility), organic materials can have advantages in certain other respects [2]. One of the attractive features of organics is the potential tunability of their functional properties by means of chemical synthesis. For instance, the emission colour in optoelectronic devices can be tuned by attaching or replacing a certain functional group while leaving the "core" of the molecule unchanged. New and different parameter ranges, e.g., for the effective mass of the charge carriers and the dielectric function and, thus, new areas of physics, are accessible. |
