THEORETICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF AN ALL-ORGANIC MOLECULAR TRANSISTOR

Recent advances in experimental techniques have led to more stable and reliable all-organic electronic devices as displays, rectifiers and t ransistors. However, a true molecular device has not yet been realized . In the present work we propose a new type of all-organic transistor with novel properties that is within the feasibility of the present te chnology for organic materials. Based on molecular modeling techniques , we demonstrate that the conductivity of a conjugated polymer chain m ay be modulated by a static electric field, without chemical doping. T his is the first theoretical characterization of an all-organic molecu lar transistor based on quantum chemical calculations.
