Symposium S on Organic Materials and Devices for Sustainable Energy Systems: Nov. 30 - Dec. 4, 2009 in Boston, MA

有机半导体由于其高性能以及其与低成本、高产量处理技术的兼容性而对于电子器件中的应用是有吸引力的。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灯具的一部分，以及用于低成本太阳能利用的光电子学。知识优势：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要的技术挑战。本次研讨会邀请摘要描述在理解和实施有机半导体的可持续能源应用，包括显示器，照明和photopolics的重大新发展。感兴趣的主题包括器件物理，新材料和器件架构的开发和表征，以及新的处理方法。材料研究学会（MRS）与有机电子材料和器件相关的研讨会是最近MRS会议上参加人数最多的会议之一。然而，它已被证明是非常困难的，包括所有的电子和光电子器件的应用，以及材料研究在同一个专题讨论会，因为迅速扩大的研究社区和压倒性的数量的摘要提交给这样的MRS专题讨论会。因此，本次研讨会将重点讨论有机光电子学、显示和照明用发光器件等新型光电子器件等可持续能源系统中的有机材料的材料、器件、加工等。影响面更广：为了最大限度地发挥本次研讨会的教育影响力，将优先考虑研究生提交的论文摘要作为口头或海报演讲。通过这种方式，研究生将获得宝贵的经验，介绍和捍卫他们的研究，以及接触到有机电子社区。研讨会的结果将通过一个会议记录，将由研讨会的共同组织者编辑，并由MRS出版传播。最后，一整天的教程计划，以教育材料界的有机半导体在节能系统中的应用。本教程的题目是：有机光电材料与器件基础，将由教授讲授。佛罗里达大学的薛建庚和明尼苏达大学的罗素·霍姆斯。

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 in photovoltaics for low-cost solar energy utilization.Intellectual Merit: To fully capitalize on these unique devices, significant gaps in fundamental understanding as well as non-trivial technological challenges must be overcome. This symposium invites abstracts describing significant new developments in the understanding and implementation of organic semiconductors for sustainable energy applications including displays, lighting, and photovoltaics. Topics of interest include device physics, development and characterization of new materials and device architectures, and novel processing methods. Materials Research Society (MRS) symposia related to organic electronic materials and devices have been among the most highly attended at recent MRS meetings. However, it has proven very difficult to include all electronic and optoelectronic device applications as well as materials studies in the same symposium because of the rapidly expanding research community and the overwhelming volume of abstract submission to such MRS symposia. As such, the proposed symposium emphasizes the materials, devices, and processing of organic materials for sustainable energy systems, which include organic photovoltaics, light-emitting devices for displays and lighting, and other novel optoelectronic devices.Broader Impacts: In order to maximize the educational impact of the proposed symposium, abstracts contributed by graduate students will be given priority in awarding oral or poster presentations. In this way, graduate students will gain valuable experience in presenting and defending their research, as well as exposure to the organic electronics community. Results of the symposium will be disseminated through a conference proceeding that will be edited by the co-organizers of the symposium and published by MRS. Finally, a full-day tutorial is planned in order to educate the materials community on the application of organic semiconductors in energy efficient systems. This tutorial is entitled: Fundamentals of Organic Optoelectronic Materials and Devices, and will be taught by Profs. Jiangeng Xue at the University of Florida and Russell Holmes at the University of Minnesota.
