TL;DR: The results provide the first concrete link between mechanical strain and WF of an organic semiconductor and have important implications for understanding the connection between structural and electronic disorder in soft organic electronic materials.

TL;DR: A combination of infrared spectroscopy and theoretical simulations shows that the dopants selectively placed in the amorphous regions in the film via sequential doping result in highly localized polarons, increasing film connectivity and hence improving the overall conductivity of the film compared with the conventional doping processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the origin of the mid-infrared spectral features for hole absorption in doped poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films is investigated theoretically and experimentally using a Holstein-style Hamil...

TL;DR: A giant bandgap reduction in layered GaTe is demonstrated and localized partial recovery of the pristine gap is achieved by thermal annealing, demonstrating that reversible band engineering in layered semiconductors is accessible through their surfaces.
