One dimensional (1-D) micro-/nanostructures provide a good system to investigate the dependence of various properties on dimensionality and size reduction, especially in optoelectronic field. Organic conjugates including small molecules and polymers exhibit good optoelectronic properties and are apt to assemble into ordered nanostructures with well-defined shapes, tunable sizes and defect-free structures. In this review, we focus on recent progress of 1-D organic semiconductors for waveguide applications. Fabrication methods and materials of 1-D organic semiconductors are introduced. The morphology influence on the properties is also summarized.

ABSTRACTWe present comprehensive study of ultrafast charge carrier dynamics in a variety of organic molecular crystals. In all samples, we observed sub-picosecond charge photogeneration and band-like transport, characterized by (i) an increase in charge carrier mobility as the temperature decreases in a wide temperature range of at least 20 K – 300 K and (ii) mobility anisotropy in the a-b plane of the crystals. The temperature dependence of the decay dynamics of the transient photoconductivity reveals the presence of shallow trapping sites in herring-bone-type-structured crystals (such as pentacene (Pc), tetracene (Tc), and rubrene (Rub)), while such traps are apparently absent in “brick-wall”-type crystals (such as functionalized pentacene (FPc)). We also report on the measurements of the charge carrier mobility anisotropy in the a-b plane of two types of FPc single crystals. Anisotropies of approximately 3.5 and 11.6 were obtained in the crystals characterized by crystal structures favoring two-dimensional and one-dimensional charge transport, respectively, consistent with the degree of π-overlap along different directions in the crystals.

1D conjugated polymers belong to the family of organic semiconductor materials, in which the charge carriers are polarons or bipolarons. Charge transport in 1D organic semiconductors in the presence of high electric fields is studied within the SSH model. It is found that under a sufficiently high electric field, the polaron is dissociated into free-like electron. The electron performs Bloch oscillation (BO) in the organic semiconductors. By enhancing the electric field, BO will be destroyed and electrons can transit from the valence band to the conduction band, which is Zener tunneling in organic semiconductors. The results also indicate a field-induced insulator-metal transition.
