Organic Semiconductors for Optoelectronics

Module coordinator: Prof. Dr. Caroline Murawski

Contents

The module focuses on organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices based on these materials, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics, and organic photodiodes (OPDs). Applications in flexible electronics, biomedical fields (such as sensing and optogenetics), and energy (solar cells) are comprehensively addressed. The module also covers fundamental principles of nanoscience, fabrication methods, and characterization techniques essential for the realization and analysis of these devices.
