- Ever since the first experimental investigations of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) the dimensionality of charge transport has alternately been described as two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D). More recently, researchers have turned to an analytical analysis of the temperature-dependent transfer characteristics to classify the dimensionality as either 2D or 3D as well as to determine the disorder of the system, thereby greatly simplifying dimensionality investigations. We applied said analytical analysis to the experimental results of our OFETs comprising molecularly well-defined polymeric layers as the active material as well as to results obtained from kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and found that it was not able to correctly distinguish between 2D and 3D transports or give meaningful values for the disorder and should only be used for quasiquantitative and comparative analysis. We conclude to show that the dimensionality of charge transport in OFETs is a function of the interplay between transistor physics and morphology of the organic material.

- The recent upswing in attention for the thermoelectric properties of organic semiconductors (OSCs) adds urgency to the need for a quantitative description of the range and energetics of hopping transport in organic semiconductors under relevant circumstances, i.e., around room temperature (RT). In particular, the degree to which hops beyond the nearest neighbor must be accounted for at RT is still largely unknown. Here, measurements of charge and energy transport in doped OSCs are combined with analytical modeling to reach the univocal conclusion that variable-range hopping is the proper description in a large class of disordered OSC at RT. To obtain quantitative agreement with experiment, one needs to account for the modification of the density of states by ionized dopants. These Coulomb interactions give rise to a deep tail of trap states that is independent of the materials initial energetic disorder. Insertion of this effect into a classical Mott-type variable-range hopping model allows one to give a quantitative description of temperature-dependent conductivity and thermopower measurements on a wide range of disordered OSCs. In particular, the model explains the commonly observed quasiuniversal power-law relation between the Seebeck coefficient and the conductivity.

- The emergence of smart phones has had a positive impact on society as the range of features and automation has allowed people to become more productive while they are on the move. On the contrary, the use of these devices has also become a distraction and hindrance, especially for pedestrians who use their phones whilst walking on the streets. This is reinforced by the fact that pedestrian injuries due to the use of mobile phones has now exceeded mobile phone related driver injuries. This paper describes an approach that measures the different levels of distraction encountered by pedestrians whilst they are walking. To distinguish between the distractions within the brain the proposed work analyses data collected from mobile sensors (accelerometers for movement, mobile EEG for electroencephalogram signals from the brain). The long-term motivation of the proposed work is to provide pedestrians with notifications as they approach potential hazards while they walk on the street conducting multiple tasks such as using a smart phone.

- We investigate conductivity and mobility of different hosts mixed with different electron-withdrawing guests in concentrations ranging from ultralow to high. The effect of the guest material on the mobility and conductivity of the host material varies systematically with the guests' LUMO energy relative to the host HOMO, in quantitative agreement with a recently developed model. For guests with a LUMO within similar to 0.5 eV of the host HOMO the dominant process governing transport is the competition between the formation of a deep tail in the host DOS and state filling. In other cases, the interaction with the host is dominated by any polar side groups on the guest and changes in the host morphology. For relatively amorphous hosts the latter interaction can lead to a suppression of deep traps, causing a surprising mobility increase by 1-2 orders of magnitude. In order to analyze our data, we developed a simple method to diagnose both the presence and the filling of traps.
