Small molecules and conjugated polymers, the two main types of organic materials used for optoelectronic and photonic devices, can be used in a number of applications including organic light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices, photorefractive devices and waveguides. Organic materials are attractive due to their low cost, the possibility of their deposition from solution onto large-area substrates, and the ability to tailor their properties. The Handbook of organic materials for optical and (opto)electronic devices provides an overview of the properties of organic optoelectronic and nonlinear optical materials, and explains how these materials can be used across a range of applications.Parts one and two explore the materials used for organic optoelectronics and nonlinear optics, their properties, and methods of their characterization illustrated by physical studies. Part three moves on to discuss the applications of optoelectronic and nonlinear optical organic materials in devices and includes chapters on organic solar cells, electronic memory devices, and electronic chemical sensors, electro-optic devices.The Handbook of organic materials for optical and (opto)electronic devices is a technical resource for physicists, chemists, electrical engineers and materials scientists involved in research and development of organic semiconductor and nonlinear optical materials and devices. Comprehensively examines the properties of organic optoelectronic and nonlinear optical materials Discusses their applications in different devices including solar cells, LEDs and electronic memory devices An essential technical resource for physicists, chemists, electrical engineers and materials scientists

According to Nalwa (founder and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology), organic materials and polymers offer a range of advantages in electronic and photonic applications, including a higher degree of tailoring and versatility in the manipulation of their physical properties, ease of modification and functionalization, ease of processing and fabrication, low-cost mass production, environmental stability, and biocompatibility. He presents a three-volume handbook covering the synthesis and electrical properties of these materials, as well as a range of applications. The first volume, on electronic materials and devices, includes 13 chapters discussing such topics as synthetic approaches to band gap control in conjugated polymeric materials; synthesis, characteristics, and applications of conducting polymer nanotubes, nanowires, and nanocomposites; charge transport and morphology in conjugated polymers; nano/microfabrication techniques for organic electronics and photonics, self-assembled supramolecular structures for organic electronics and photonics; organic thin-film transistor fundamentals and applications; electropolymers for mechtronics and artificial muscles; and biologically inspired large contraction conducting polymer actuators. The second volume switches focus towards photonic materials and devices and includes 12 chapters discussing such topics as organic nonlinear optical crystals and single-crystalline thin films, organic semiconducting thin films, organic random lasers, nonlinear optical properties of organometallic and metalloorganic compounds, nonlinear optical responses and photoinduced electron transfer process in phthalocyanines and related compounds, liquid crystal diffractive optical elements, magnetoresistance and spin effects in organic light-emitting diodes, and photoinduced transfer between electron donors and fullerenes as unique electron acceptors. The final volume is concerned with devices and includes 10 chapters on such topics single-molecule transistors; nanostructured arrays as suitable materials for batteries, sensors, and electrochromic devices; organic field-effect transistors; flexible display applications in organic electronics and photonics; physics and technology and organic light emitting diodes; organic and polymeric solar cells; luminescent lanthanide complexes for advanced photonic applications; and DNA based biosensors.

The field of active electronic and photonic devices made with organic and polymeric materials is rapidly growing, and new advances are being made both in attaining a deeper understanding of device phenomena and in developing novel materials. The presentations in this book emphasize the broad scientific and technological interest in organic materials for both electronic and photonic applications. A significant portion of the papers address materials and devices at the nanoscale, including work on nanotubes and self-organized structures, as well as nanopatterned thin-film structures. Topics include charge carrier dynamics, interfacial properties, linear and nonlinear optical properties, defects and growth. Technological applications focus on light-emitting diodes, lasers, batteries, solar cells, organic thin-film transistors, sensors, molecular electronics and electronic paper.
