Organic semiconductors

In modern science and technology it is not unusual for a research activity to involve more than one scientific discipline. Among the newer research endeavors, perhaps none demonstrates such a dual character more clearly than the field of organic semiconductors, which deeply involves both semiconductor physics and organic chemistry. One result of this dichotomy is that there exists no common forum where research results can be presented and discussed by both physicists and organic chemists. Similarly, it is difficult for industrial organizations in electronics, chemical, and semiconductor activities to learn the latest information concerning rapidly expanding research on organic semiconductors.
