Charge Carriers in Organic Semiconductors

This lecture covers the formation of polarons and bipolarons in typical л-conjugated polymers, the exciton formation process, chemical doping effects on poly(thiophene), and the crystal structures of quaterphenyl and poly(aniline). It also discusses the intermolecular delocalization of polaron defects, the impact of dynamic and static disorder on charge carriers, and the behavior of crystalline organic materials at high charge carrier densities.
