A hidden bulk polymorph governs charge transport dimensionality in an organic semiconductor
Caterina Zuffa, Marco Bardini, Fabian Gasser +11
Organic semiconductors (OSCs) are widely explored for flexible optoelectronic technologies, with performance governed not only by molecular design, but also by solid-state packing,…
Peak Broadening in Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Amorphous Polymers: the Leading Role of the Electrostatic Landscape
Laura Galleni, Arne Meulemans, Faegheh S. Sajjadian +8
The broadening in photoelectron spectra of polymers can be attributed to several factors, such as light source spread, spectrometer resolution, finite lifetime of the hole state, a…
Accurate and Efficient Phonon Calculations in Molecular Crystals via Minimal Molecular Displacements
Lorenzo Soprani, Andrea Giunchi, Marco Bardini +2
Vibrational dynamics governs the fundamental properties of molecular crystals, shaping their thermodynamics, mechanics, spectroscopy, and transport phenomena. However desirable, th…
On the Role of Charge Transfer Excitations in Non-Fullerene Acceptors for Organic Photovoltaics
Samuele Giannini, Daniel J. C. Sowood, Jesus Cerda +11
Through the development of new non-fullerene electron acceptor (NFA) materials, such as Y6 and its molecular derivatives, the power conversion efficiencies of organic photovoltaics…
Universal polarization energies for defects in monolayer, surface and bulk hexagonal boron nitride : A finite-size fragments GW approach

We study defect energy levels in hexagonal boron-nitride with varying number of layers using a fragment many-body formalism, taking as examples the paradigmatic carbon-dimer a…
Doping-induced dielectric catastrophe prompts free-carrier release in organic semiconductors
Massimiliano Comin, Simone Fratini, Xavier Blase +1
The control over material properties attainable through molecular doping is essential to many technological applications of organic semiconductors, such as OLED or thermoelectrics.…
Analysis of external and internal disorder to understand band-like transport in n-type organic semiconductors
Marc-Antoine Stoeckel, Yoann Olivier, Marco Gobbi +18
Charge transport in organic semiconductors is notoriously extremely sensitive to the presence of disorder, both internal and external (i.e. related to the interactions with the die…
Structural and dynamic disorder, not ionic trapping, controls charge transport in highly doped conducting polymers
Ian E. Jacobs, Gabriele D'Avino, Vincent Lemaur +18
Doped organic semiconductors are critical to emerging device applications, including thermoelectrics, bioelectronics, and neuromorphic computing devices. It is commonly assumed tha…
Chasing the killer phonon mode for the rational design of low disorder, high mobility molecular semiconductors
Guillaume Schweicher, Gabriele D'Avino, Michael T. Ruggiero +14
Molecular vibrations play a critical role in the charge transport properties of weakly van der Waals bonded organic semiconductors. To understand which specific phonon modes contri…
