Hall-effect measurements probing the degree of charge-carrier delocalization in solution-processed crystalline molecular semiconductors
Intramolecular structure and intermolecular packing in crystalline molecular semiconductors should have profound effects on the charge-carrier wave function, but simple drift mobility measurements are not very sensitive to this. Here we show that differences in the Hall resistance of two soluble pentacene derivatives can be explained with different degrees of carrier delocalization being limited by thermal lattice fluctuations. A combination of Hall measurements, optical spectroscopy, and theoretical simulations provides a powerful probe of structure-property relationships at a molecular level
Real-time vapour sensing using an OFET-based electronic nose and genetic programming
Electronic noses (e-noses) are increasingly being used as vapour sensors in a range of application areas. E-noses made up of arrays of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are particularly valuable due the range and diversity of the information which they provide concerning analyte binding. This study demonstrates that arrays of OFETs, when combined with a data analysis technique using Genetic Programming (GP), can selectively detect airborne analytes in real time. The use of multiple parameters – on resistance, off current and mobility – collected from multiple transistors coated with different semiconducting polymers gives dramatic improvements in the sensitivity (true positive rate), specificity (true negative rate) and speed of sensing. Computer-controlled data collection allows the identification of analytes in real-time, with a time-lag between exposure and detection of the order of 4 s
