This condensed matter physics project will explore charge transport on the surface of organic and inorganic layered semiconductors. The objective is to develop novel techniques for fabrication of field-effect structures based on single crystals of these materials. The focus is on exploration of the intrinsic (not limited by the structural disorder) electronic properties, effects of the molecular packing on the magnitude and anisotropy of the charge carrier mobility, the mechanism of persistent photoconductivity in organic semiconductors, and realization of light emission in the ambipolar field-effect transistors based on transition metal dichalcogenides. The research will contribute to better understanding of the polaronic transport and electronic and optical properties of a wide range of organic and inorganic semiconductors. Of interest are the ultimate limits of the organic transistor performance and the search for novel materials with a higher mobility of charge carriers. Implementation of the proposed research fosters training of both undergraduate and graduate students: The students will enjoy broad exposure to the state-of-the-art tools of modern solid state and semiconductor research, and the cutting-edge physics research. The results of this research will be used in a new undergraduate course "Electronic Processes in Nanostructures", an essential part of the Rutgers efforts to develop a novel curriculum on nanoscience and nanotechnology.The goal of this project is to explore the charge transport on the surface of organic and inorganic layered semiconductors, the fundamental building blocks of the emerging field of "flexible" electronics. The project takes advantage of the novel techniques for fabrication of the single crystal field-effect transistors, developed at Rutgers University under prior NSF support.
