Abstract Highly crystalline thin films in organic semiconductors are important for applications in high‐performance organic optoelectronics. Here, the effect of grain boundaries on the Hall effect and charge transport properties of organic transistors based on two exemplary benchmark systems is elucidated: (1) solution‐processed blends of 2,7‐dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2‐b][1]benzothiophene (C8‐BTBT) small molecule and indacenodithiophene‐benzothiadiazole (C16IDT‐BT) conjugated polymer, and (2) large‐area vacuum evaporated polycrystalline thin films of rubrene (C42H28). It is discovered that, despite the high field‐effect mobilities of up to 6 cm2V−1s−1and the evidence of a delocalized band‐like charge transport, the Hall effect in polycrystalline organic transistors is systematically and significantly underdeveloped, with the carrier coherence factor α < 1 (i.e., yields an underestimated Hall mobility and an overestimated carrier density). A model based on capacitively charged grain boundaries explaining this unusual behavior is described. This work significantly advances the understanding of magneto‐transport properties of organic semiconductor thin films.more » « less

As part of the PI's outreach, a course-based undergraduate research experience engaged undergraduate women in research from examining the literature to identify a gap, formulating a research hypothesis, designing experiments to test the hypothesis, analyzing the data, writing and submitting an abstract and presenting the research to the scientific community. This project was as follows: Recently, reports of the success of phototherapy for use in wound healing, acne treatment, and other dermatological applications have increased. A large number of studies use laser light in the evaluations, while relatively few use LED light. This is significant since LED light has recently been marketed to consumers of phototherapy for improving skin tone. While it has been demonstrated that keratinocyte viability and migration is negatively impacted by blue LED light and positively impacted by red LED light, the effects of using such over the counter devices have been scarce. In this study, we evaluated the effect on keratinocytes of one 10 minute dose of red, blue, or UV light delivered from one such over the counter LED device.more » « less
