A new electrode design for ambipolar injection in organic semiconductors

A new electrode design for ambipolar injection in organic semiconductors

One of technological challenges building organic electronics is efficient injection of electrons at metal-semiconductor interfaces compared to that of holes. The authors show an air-stable electrode design with induced gap states, which support Fermi level pinning and thus ambipolar carrier injectio...
