About Organic Semiconductors
Organic Semiconductors by D Jolly provides a focused overview of the chemistry and physics behind organic electronic materials. The book begins with molecular orbital theory and conjugation, then progresses to charge transport mechanisms, doping, and the operation of key devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). It emphasizes structure-property relationships and characterization techniques, offering readers a solid foundation for further study or research. While concise, the text includes illustrative examples and references to primary literature, making it accessible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in materials science, chemistry, and electrical engineering. It serves as a practical introduction for those new to the field, though it may not cover the most recent commercial developments in depth.
Who should read Organic Semiconductors?
This book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in materials science, chemistry, physics, and electrical engineering who are encountering organic semiconductors for the first time. It also suits early-career researchers and professionals in academia or industry seeking a concise refresher on fundamental concepts. Instructors may find it useful as a supplementary text for courses on organic electronics or soft materials. Readers should have a basic background in organic chemistry and solid-state physics to fully benefit from the content.

Frequently asked questions
What prior knowledge is required to understand this book?
A basic understanding of organic chemistry (molecular structure, bonding) and introductory solid-state physics (energy bands, charge carriers) is recommended. The book reviews key concepts but moves quickly, so some familiarity will help.
Does this book cover both materials and devices?
Yes, it provides a balanced treatment of organic semiconductor materials (synthesis, structure, properties) and their application in devices such as OLEDs, OPVs, and OFETs, with an emphasis on structure-property relationships.
Is this book suitable for self-study?
It can be used for self-study by motivated readers with the necessary background. However, the lack of exercises and solutions may make it less ideal for independent learning without supplementary resources.
How current is the content?
The book covers fundamental principles that remain relevant, but it may not include the very latest research advances or commercial developments. Readers seeking cutting-edge topics should consult recent review articles or specialized monographs.
Does the book include references for further reading?
Yes, each chapter includes references to key primary literature and review articles, allowing readers to delve deeper into specific topics.
