Organic Semiconductor Material

Bio-functionalised luminescent organic semiconductors are attractive for biophotonics because they can act as efficient laser materials while simultaneously interacting with molecules. In this paper, we present and discuss a laser biosensor platform that utilises a gain layer made of such an organic semiconductor material. The simple structure of the sensor and its operation principle are described. Nanolayer detection is shown experimentally and analysed theoretically in order to assess the potential and the limits of the biosensor. The advantage conferred by the organic semiconductor is explained, and comparisons to laser sensors using alternative dye-doped materials are made. Specific biomolecular sensing is demonstrated, and routes to functionalisation with nucleic acid probes, and future developments opened up by this achievement, are highlighted. Finally, attractive formats for sensing applications are mentioned, as well as colloidal quantum dots, which in the future could be used in conjunction with organic semiconductors.

Determining Factor

Clarifying critical differences in free charge generation and recombination processes between inorganic and organic semiconductors is important for developing efficient organic photoconversion devices such as solar cells (SCs) and photodetector. In this study, we analyzed the dependence of doping concentration on the photoconversion process at the organic pn-homojunction interface in a single organic semiconductor using the temperature dependence of J–V characteristics and energy structure measurements. Even though the organic pn-homojunction SC devices were fabricated using a single host material and the doping technique resembling an inorganic pn-homojunction, the charge generation and recombination mechanisms are similar to that of conventional donor/acceptor (D/A) type organic SCs; that is, the charge separation happens from localized exciton and charge transfer (CT) state being separated by the energy offset between adjacent molecules, and the recombination happens from localized charge carrier at two adjacent molecules. The determining factor for photoconversion processes is the localized nature of charges in organic semiconductors. The results demonstrated that controlling the delocalization of the charges is important to realize efficient organic photoconversion devices.
