This seminar aims at providing an overview about the electrical and optical properties of organic semiconductor devices. Based on current research articles the participants will present talks on fundamental properties of organic semiconductors, advanced semiconductor characterisation techniques or organic semiconductor devices. Possible topics include:

• Electronic Structure of Organic Semiconductors
• Charges and Excited States
• Electrical Transport
• Optical Processes
• Doping of Organic Semiconductors
• Electrical Characterisation Techniques
• Optical Characterisation Techniques
• Measuring Charge Carrier Dynamics in Organic Semiconductors
• Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
• Organic Solar Cells
• Polymer Batteries
• Organic Field-Effect Transistors
• Organic Spintronics
