Charge and Exciton Transport through Molecular Wires

Bringing together experiment and theory to enable applications in real–life devices, this handbook and ready reference provides essential information on how to control and direct charge transport in one handy volume.
As a result, readers obtain a balanced view of charge and exciton transport, covering such characterization techniques as spectroscopy and current measurements together with quantitative models. Researchers are thus able to improve the performance of newly developed devices, while an additional overview of synthesis methods highlights ways of producing different organic wires.
For chemists, molecular physicists, materials scientists and electrical engineers.
