Unraveling the Relationship Between Molecular Design and Charge Transport in Self-Assembling Systems

Organic semiconductors emerge as a class of alternative materials for electronic applications. These materials offer tunable optoelectronic properties through chemical synthesis and modification, low production cost, relatively easy and flexible processing, and potential for large-area applications. Achieving efficient charge transport in these materials relies on controlling the local- and long-range arrangement of the individual molecules, which can be tuned by changes in their chemical structure. This dissertation primarily focuses on the manipulation of the supramolecular order by targeted changes in the molecular structure, specifically focusing on the relation between the ordering and the optoelectronic properties....
