The perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) and 1,4,5,8-naphthalene-tetracaboxylic-dianhydride (NTCDA) are planar pi-stacking organic molecules that have been shown to be excellent model compounds for studying the growth and optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductor thin films, particularly organic diodes. Some observations have shown that this molecules, particularly PTCDA a brick-like shaped molecule easily forms well-ordered films on various substrates due to its unique crystal structure which is characterized by flat lying molecules In this work we will explore some energetic and optical characteristics such as heats of formation, optic GAP energies, electronic transitions and others of novel tow layer systems of alternate layers of PTCDA and NTCDA by means of the semiempirical methods Parametric Model 3 (PM3) and Zerners Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap (ZINDO/S) in Configuration Interaction mode.

Ambipolar charge carrier transport in Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) is studied experimentally in field-effect transistors and metal-insulator-semiconductor diodes at various temperatures. The electronic structure and the transport properties of CuPc attached to leads are calculated using density functional theory and scattering theory at the non-equilibrium Greens function level. We discuss, in particular, the electronic structure of CuPc molecules attached to gold chains in different geometries to mimic the different experimental setups. The combined experimental and theoretical analysis explains the dependence of the mobilityand the transmission coefficient on the charge carrier type (electrons or holes) and on the contact geometry. We demonstrate the correspondence between our experimental results on thick films and our theoretical studies of single molecule contacts. Preliminary results for fluorinated CuPc are discussed.
Since the discovery of graphene -a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice - it was clear that this truly is a unique material system with an unprecedented combination of physical properties. Graphene is the thinnest membrane present in nature -just one atom thick- it is the strongest material, it is transparent and it is a very good conductor with room temperature charge mobilities larger than the typical mobilities found in silicon. The significance played by this new material system is even more apparent when considering that graphene is the thinnest member of a larger family: the few-layer graphene materials. Even though several physical properties are shared between graphene and its few-layers, recent theoretical and experimental advances demonstrate that each specific thickness of few-layer graphene is a material with unique physical properties.
Self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot is a new type of artificially designed and grown function material which exhibits quantum size effect, quantum interference effect, surface effect, quantum tunneling-Coulumb-blockade effect and nonlinear optical effect. Due to advantages like less crystal defects and relatively simpler fabrication technology, that material may be of important value in future nanoelectronic device researches. In the order of vertical transport, lateral transport and charge storage, this paper gives a brief introduction of recent advances in the electronic properties of that material and an analysis of problems and perspectives.
A systematic review is made for the AA-, AB- and ABC-stacked graphites. The generalized tight-binding model, accompanied with the effective-mass approximation and the Kubo formula, is developed to investigate electronic and optical properties in the presence/absence of a uniform magnetic field. The unusual electronic properties cover the stacking-dependent Dirac-cone structures, the significant energy widths along the stacking direction, the Landau subbands (LSs) crossing the Fermi level, the $B_0$-dependent LS energy spectra with crossings and anti-crossings, and the monolayer- or bilayer-like Landau wavefunctions. There exist the configuration-created special structures in density of states and optical spectra. Three kinds of graphites quite differ from one another in the available inter-LS excitation channels, including the number, frequency, intensity and structures of absorption peaks. The dimensional crossover presents the main similarities and differences between graphites and graphenes; furthermore, the quantum confinement enriches the magnetic quantization phenomena in carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons. The cooperative/competitive relations among the interlayer atomic interactions, dimensions and magnetic quantization are responsible for the diversified essential properties. Part of theoretical predictions are consistent with the experimental measurements.
Twisted bi-layer graphene (tBLG) has recently attracted interest due to the peculiar electrical properties that arise from its random rotational configurations. Our experiments on CVD-grown graphene from Cu foil and transferred onto Si substrates, with an oxide layer of 100 nm, reveal naturally-produced bi-layer graphene patches which present different colorations when shined with white light. In particular yellow-, pink- and blue- colored areas are evidenced. Combining optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy we have been able to assign these colorations to ranges of rotational angles between the two graphene layers. Optical contrast simulations have been carried out, proving that the observation of the different colorations is due to the angle-dependent electronic properties of tBLG combined with the reflection that results from the layered structure tBLG / 100 nm-thick SiO2 / Si. Our results could lead the way to an easy selective identification of bi-layer graphene merely through the observation on an optical microscope.
