Synopsis

Organic semiconductors are a broad class of materials that comprise small molecules, conjugated polymers and carbon based nano-structures. The molecular structure of such materials in many cases permit charge transport, efficient light-harvesting, the existence of stable excitations and high fluorescence quantum efficiency; attributes vital for a number of optoelectonic applications such as light emitting diodes, photovoltaics and field effect transistors.

By defining structure at sub-micron wavelength into organic media (either semiconducting or dielectric), the interaction between light and matter can be exploited to engineer novel effects. Here, a number of target applications have been identified including optical-sensors, lasers, optical-amplifiers, fibre-based communication systems and novel coatings. Finally, the combination of organic materials with inorganic semiconductors or biological systems opens a host of future looking possibilities.

This Topical Meeting aims to provide a forum for high-level presentations that focus on the fundamental properties or use of organic semiconducting or dielectric materials in electronics or photonics. Contributions that address fundamental materials properties through optical-spectroscopy or theoretical investigations are particularly welcome. The programme will allow for open discussions among participants leading to a fruitful exchange of ideas.

Abstract submission

Opening of submission 2 April 2012
Deadline for abstract submission 7 May 2012
Notification to authors 8 June 2012
 
Abstracts can only be submitted online via www.myeos.org/events/eosam2012. Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract of a minimum of one page and a maximum of two pages with at least one figure. The abstract must be formatted according to the EOS abstract guidelines, which can be downloaded at www.myeos.org/system/files/events/abstractguidelines.pdf. 
 
Contributions will be accepted for oral and poster presentation. Please indicate your preference. All accepted contributions are to be published on the EOSAM 2012 digest CD-ROM (ISBN numbered) which will be available on-site. At least one author is requested to register for the meeting separately from abstract submission. The registration includes admission to all Topical Meetings, the workshop, special events and the exhibition.
 
 

Springer Award for Students

The two best student presentations (oral and poster) will be awarded a diploma, an EOS student membership and a book sponsored by Springer.
