Course of Prof. Hany Aziz from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course gives a general introduction to organic optoelectronic materials and devices; both light-emitting (OLEDs), and light-harvesting (organic solar cells and photodetectors). The course starts with a brief introduction to OLEDs as a general platform for defining key aspects in organic optoelectronic devices. Aspects of material and device physics related to the operation and performance of these devices, such as; electronic structure of organic molecules (unit 2), key photophysical processes in organic molecules (unit 3); and exciton processes in organic solids (unit 4), are covered. Finally, an overview of organic light harvesting device is provided (unit 5)
