Excitons and Energy Transfer in Doped Luminescent Molecular Organic Materials

  • Chapter
Organic Electronic Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 41))

Abstract

Excitons are integral to nearly all electronic processes in molecular organic solids. Exciton diffusion is a dominant method of energy transfer; exciton absorption dominates the absorption spectrum; and exciton formation is necessary for luminescence and photoconductivity. Indeed, tracking excitonic processes is the key to understanding the physical behavior of molecular organic semiconductors. In this chapter, we examine excitonic behavior in doped molecular organic thin films, focusing on energy-transfer processes between dissimilar organic molecules.
