Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Series: IOP ebooks

This reference text provides a comprehensive and concise overview of organic electronics, covering both the theoretical background physics and the physics of the materials and devices behind the technology. The book covers the electrical properties, structure of matter and physics of one-dimensional solids with their characteristic instabilities. A range of materials, including crystalline organic conductors and superconductors, organic semiconductors for organic electronics (small molecules, and polymers), and self-assembled molecular arrangements for molecular scale devices are discussed, alongside case studies, worked examples and pedagogical problems. This book provides an invaluable reference for graduate and senior undergraduate students, researchers, and engineers with a minimal background in condensed matter physics.

Luís Joaquim Alcácer is an Emeritus Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, and a Senior Researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações in Lisbon. He was a full professor at the University of Lisbon from 1975 to 2007. Prof. Alcácer started a research group focused on organic metals in 1970, and a group on organic electronics in the 1980s. This is his fifth book.

Reviews for The Physics of Organic Electronics: From molecules to crystals and polymers

This book provides the fundamental theory for organic electronics including organic metals, superconductors, and semiconductors for organic electronics. It is intended for students, researchers, or engineers interested in learning about organic electronic theory and devices, who have some background in condensed matter physics and either basic quantum mechanics, chemical physics, or materials science. The book can be divided into two parts. The first part presents the theory involving short reviews on intermolecular interactions, structure, and scattering theory followed by the main theories describing the interaction of electronics in quasi one-dimensional systems, including a model and case studies. The case studies illustrate the most relevant transport properties and mechanisms, phase transitions, and magnetic effects of interest. The remainder of the book covers the physics of organic light emitting diodes, organic solar cells, organic transistors, and molecular-scale electronic devices. The future of organic electronics brings with it the promise of many new applications. This book is for our readers interested in learning about this theory who already have the background necessary to understand the material being presented. John J. Shea, IEEE magazine, March 2023
