Symposium S on Organic Materials & Devices for Sustainable Energy Systems; Boston, MA; November 30 - December 4, 2009

技术总结SSMC计划将支持年轻的教师参加MRS秋季会议研讨会S有机材料设备可持续能源系统。 有机半导体由于其高性能以及其与低成本、高产量加工技术的兼容性而对于在电子器件中的应用具有吸引力。有机电子的持续扩张是由学术和工业研究人员的跨学科专业知识推动的。这种伙伴关系导致了对这些材料的基本理解的重大进展，以及有机电子和光电器件的效率和操作稳定性的提高。这些系统中的许多系统正在积极开发，作为下一代节能显示器和固态照明设备的一部分，以及用于低成本太阳能利用的非光电子器件。为了充分利用这些独特的设备，必须克服基本理解方面的重大差距以及重大的技术挑战。本次研讨会将包括有机半导体在可持续能源应用（包括显示器、照明和光电子学）的理解和实施方面的重大新进展。其他感兴趣的主题包括器件物理，新材料和器件结构的开发和表征，以及新颖的加工方法。非技术总结研讨会S有机材料器件可持续能源系统在秋季MRS会议是面向研究介绍有关使用有机半导体的有效发电和利用能源。 已确认的受邀演讲者包括白色有机发光器件和有机光伏电池领域的许多顶尖研究人员。这笔赠款将为青年教师参加这次会议提供资金。

TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe SSMC program will support young faculty to attend the MRS Fall Meeting Symposium S on Organic Materials & Devices for Sustainable Energy Systems. Organic semiconductors are attractive for application in electronic devices due to their high performance, as well as their compatibility with low-cost, high-throughput processing techniques. The continued expansion of organic electronics is driven by the cross-disciplinary expertise of both academic and industrial researchers. This partnership has led to significant advances in the fundamental understanding of these materials, as well as improvements in the efficiency and operational stability of organic electronic and optoelectronic devices. Many of these systems are being actively developed as part of next generation, energy efficient displays and solid-state lighting fixtures, as well as inphotovoltaics for low-cost solar energy utilization. To fully capitalize on these unique devices, significant gaps in fundamental understanding as well as non-trivial technological challenges must be overcome. This symposium will include significant new developments in the understanding and implementation of organic semiconductors for sustainable energy applications including displays, lighting, and photovoltaics. Other topics of interest include device physics, development and characterization of new materials and device architectures, and novel processing methods.NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYSymposium S on Organic Materials & Devices for Sustainable Energy Systems at the Fall MRS Meeting is geared toward research presentations regarding the use of organic semiconductors for the efficient generation and use of energy. The confirmed invited speakers include many top researchers in white organic light-emitting devices and in organic photovoltaic cells. The grant will provide funds for junior faculty to attend this meeting.
