This 2-volume set provides the reader with a basic understanding of the foundational concepts pertaining to the design, synthesis, and applications of conjugated organic materials used as organic semiconductors, in areas including organic photovoltaic devices, light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors, spintronics, actuation, bioelectronics, thermoelectrics, and nonlinear optics.

While there are many monographs in these various areas, the emphasis here is both on the fundamental chemistry and physics concepts underlying the field of organic semiconductors and on how these concepts drive a broad range of applications. This makes the volumes ideal introductory textbooks in the subject. They will thus offer great value to both junior and senior scientists working in areas ranging from organic chemistry to condensed matter physics and materials science and engineering.

Number of Illustrations and Tables: 168 b/w illus., 242 colour illus., 13 tables.

Dr Jean-Luc Bredas received his BSc (1976) and PhD (1979) degrees from the University of Namur, Belgium. In 1988, he was appointed Professor at the University of Mons, Belgium, where he established the Laboratory for Chemistry of Novel Materials. While keeping an "Extraordinary Professorship" appointment in Mons, he joined the University of Arizona in 1999 before moving in 2003 to the Georgia Institute of Technology. At Georgia Tech, he is Regents' Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and holds the Vasser-Woolley and Georgia Research Alliance Chair in Molecular Design. Between 2014 and 2016, he joined King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) as a Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and the Rawabi Holding Research Chair in Solar Energy Science and Engineering. In January 2017, he will resume his appointment at Georgia Tech.

Jean-Luc Bredas is a Member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, the Royal Academy of Belgium, and the European Academy of Sciences. He is the recipient of the 1997 Francqui Prize, the 2000 Quinquennial Prize of the Belgian National Science Foundation, the 2001 Italgas Prize, the 2003 Descartes Prize of the European Union, the 2010 Charles H. Stone Award of the American Chemical Society, the 2013 David Adler Award in Materials Physics of the American Physical Society, and the 2016 Award in the Chemistry of Materials of the American Chemical Society. He is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, American Physical Society, Optical Society of America, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Materials Research Society, and an Honorary Professor of the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has published over 1,000 refereed articles (that have garnered over 57,000 citations, leading to a current Web of Science h-index of 110) and given over 500 invited presentations. Since 2008, he has served as Editor for "Chemistry of Materials", published by the American Chemical Society. The research interests of his group focus on the computational characterization and design of novel organic materials of relevance for organic electronics and photonics applications.

Dr Seth R Marder is a Regents' Professor and the Georgia Power Chair of Energy Efficiency in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering (courtesy) at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Marder obtained his PhD (1985) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Chemistry, completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford, and was a National Research Council Resident Research Associate at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He was a founding director of the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics and is currently the Co-Director of the NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Georgia Tech.
