A&S Kicks Off ¡Viva Mexico! Today
"¡Viva México!" will be a year-long celebration of art, culture and history of Mexico and what makes it unique.
Charge Transport in Organic Materials and Devices
Organic semiconductors are becoming increasingly attractive given their solution processability, which allows for low-cost production on flexible media like paper, plastic, or textiles. But in spite of these advantages, the complexity of film formation resulting from solution growth processes makes it challenging to control the device performance in a reliable way. In this talk I will discuss the growth, structure, and electronic properties of functionalized pentacene and anthradithiophene organic thin-film transistors deposited by scalable solution deposition methods, such as spray deposition or vibration-assisted crystrallization. The results will be compared with those obtained in single crystal devices and several approaches to improve film quality and device performance will be presented. The effect of processing parameters on charge carrier mobilities, on/off ratios and interfacial trap densities will be detailed. Transitioning from mono-mulecular crystals to multi-component materials, such as the organic charge transfer complexes, which are combinations of charge donating (D) and charge accepting (A), I will show examples on how novel functionalities can emerge from D/A intermolecular interactions.
Refreshments will be served in CP 179 at 3:15 PM

Strengthening Ties Between UK & Lexington
The community of Lexington and the University of Kentucky are intimately connected, and these connections provide both points of contention and opportunities for mutual progress. Our leaders—Mayor Jim Gray and President Eli Capilouto—clearly recognize the important relationship between Lexington and UK, and a number of student groups and community organizations work diligently to improve our community. Still, more work needs to be done.
This event will…
1. Enhance our understanding of the needs of Lexington that faculty and students can address.
2. Improve our understanding of the framework currently in place for addressing community needs.
3. Celebrate the UK/Community collaboration that produced UK’s Peace Studies program.
