Journal ArticleDOI
Semiconducting π-conjugated systems in field-effect transistors: a material odyssey of organic electronics.
TL;DR: The focus of this review will be on the performance analysis of π-conjugated systems in OFETs, a kind of device consisting of an organic semiconducting layer, a gate insulator layer, and three terminals that provide an important insight into the charge transport of ρconjugate systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The larger acenes: versatile organic semiconductors.
TL;DR: New approaches to add functionality were developed to improve the processability of these materials in solution, allowing the synthesis of acenes larger than pentacene, which have hitherto been largely unavailable and poorly studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic semiconducting oligomers for use in thin film transistors.
Journal ArticleDOI

C 60 : Buckminsterfullerene
Harold W. Kroto,Harold W. Kroto,James R. Heath,Sean C. O'Brien,Robert F. Curl,Richard E. Smalley +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a truncated icosahedron, a polygon with 60 vertices and 32 faces, 12 of which are pentagonal and 20 hexagonal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-shell carbon nanotubes of 1-nm diameter
Sumio Iijima,Toshinari Ichihashi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the synthesis of abundant single-shell tubes with diameters of about one nanometre, whereas the multi-shell nanotubes are formed on the carbon cathode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shifts: A Simple and Efficient Aromaticity Probe
Paul von Ragué Schleyer,Christoph Maerker,Alk Dransfeld,Haijun Jiao,Nicolaas J. R. van Eikema Hommes +4 more
TL;DR: The use of absolute magnetic shieldings, computed at ring centers with available quantum mechanics programs, are proposed as a new aromaticity/antiaromaticity criterion to establish NICS as an effective aromaticity criterion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic Thin Film Transistors for Large Area Electronics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new insight into conduction mechanisms and performance characteristics, as well as opportunities for modeling properties of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) and discuss progress in the growing field of n-type OTFTs.
