2016 Electronic Processes in Organic Materials Gordon Research Conference and Seminar
Abstract
2016 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Electronic Processes in Organic Materials Abstract This proposal requests support for the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on ÒElectronic Processes in Organic MaterialsÓ to be held from June 5-10, 2016, and June 4-5th, respectively, in Lucca, Italy. This GRC is recognized as the premier conference on organic optoelectronics, photonics, and organic-based energy harvesting and has a historic track record of seeding new collaborations between a diverse set of researchers across academia, industry, and government, including many with ONR support. The proposed conference will span topics ranging from those of traditional strength such as the fundamental science of organic photovoltaics, thin-film transistors, and organic light-emitting diodes, (which have now been commercialized) to emerging topics such as bioelectronics, organic spin physics, 2-dimensional materials, and hybrid perovskites. We believe the field is ripe for crossfertilization across these areas: for instance, bioelectronics benefit from the flexibility and iontransport capabilities of organic materials, but also from an understanding of charge and energy transport properties of organic materials. Likewise the properties of excitons in 2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides share interesting similarities and differences with the excitons formed in conjugated organic materials. In addition to providing an open forum for fertilizing intellectual discussion across fields, the student-organized GRS that accompanies this GRC provides a unique venue for professional development among early career scientists at the graduate students/postdoctoral level of experience.
