In this Review, we summarize recent work on modeling of organic/metal and organic/organic
interfaces. Some of the models discussed have a semiempirical approach, that is …

Organic photovoltaics, the technology to convert sun light into electricity by employing thin
films of organic semiconductors, has been the subject of active research over the past 20 …

The formation of the Schottky barrier height (SBH) is a complex problem because of the
dependence of the SBH on the atomic structure of the metal-semiconductor (MS) interface …

The electronic properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are critically dependent on both
QD size and surface chemistry. Modification of quantum confinement provides control of the …

The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

Principal goals in organic thin‐film transistor (OTFT) gate dielectric research include
achieving:(i) low gate leakage currents and good chemical/thermal stability,(ii) minimized …

The tunneling resistance and electronic structure of metal–molecule–metal junctions based
on oligoacene (benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene) thiol and dithiol …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic molecules generally modify the surface
properties when covalently linked to substrates. In organic electronics, SAMs are used to …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is regarded as a promising alternative material for transparent conductive
electrodes in optoelectronic devices. However, ZnO suffers from poor chemical stability. ZnO …

The recent and rapid enhancement in power conversion efficiencies of organic-based, bulk-
heterojunction solar cells has been a consequence of both improved materials design and …
