Asymmetric organic semiconductors for high performance single crystalline field-effect transistors with low activation energy

We synthesized three asymmetric anthracene derivatives, in which 2-phvA shows a high field-effect mobility of 10 cm2 V−1 s−1. This work demonstrates the potential advantages of asymmetric structures for high-performance organic semiconductors.

High-mobility organic single-crystalline transistors with anisotropic transport based on high symmetrical “H”-shaped heteroarene derivatives

Two highly symmetrical “H”-configuration heteroarene derivatives are synthesized with mobility of up to 15.6 cm2 V−1 s−1 for single-crystalline field effect transistors.

The photoluminescence, X-ray luminescence, and cathodoluminescence spectra of KH_2PO_4 : Ce single crystals contain a nonelementary band of radiation with an energy of 3.55 eV and decay time of 27–33 ns. It is formed by fast radiative interconfiguration d → f transitions between the excited and ground states of Ce^3+ ions, with the ground state is split by a crystalline field. In the range of concentrations studied (0.5–3 × 10^–2 wt %), Ce3+ ions enter the KH_2PO_4 : Ce crystal lattice as substitution ions. Local charge compensation takes place by means of defects in the crystal structure that cause luminescence with a large Stokes shift in the region of 2.4–2.2 eV. The presence of hydrogen sublattice defects decreases the efficiency of energy transport by free charge carriers to the luminescent centers. The interaction of defects and impurity centers manifests itself as a slow inertial building-up of the stationary X-ray luminescence yield of Ce^3+ centers.
