Solvay Workshop on
"Charge, spin, and heat transport in organic semiconductors"
Brussels, 15 - 17 November 2016 (ULB - Campus Plaine - Solvay Room)
This workshop is intended to be a brainstorming session in which the latest results on charge, spin, and heat transport will be presented and discussed. The aim is to get a comprehensive view of transport properties in organic semiconductors that differ from inorganic ones by many aspects. Current understanding of these phenomena based on both experimental and theoretical evidences is not absolute. Charge transport mechanism cannot be uniquely described by hopping or band-like models. Spin diffusion length are larger because of weak spin-orbit coupling. Heat transport is limited by low and anisotropic thermal conductivity coefficients. Internationally-recognized researchers, with very different backgrounds have been invited. Chemists, physicists, experimentalists, and theoreticians will confront their viewpoints to get a deep and comprehensive fundamental understanding of transport phenomena in organic semiconductors.
