Highlights with ‘organic electronics’

Ambipolar Organic Field-Effect Transistors – Thienoisoindigo Derivatives

A series of substituted, unsymmetrical thienoisoindigo (TIIG) analogues were prepared, crystallized, and tested in thin-film transistors. TIIG and six modifications have been studied experimentally and computationally. The different intermolecular interactions lead to different stacking motifs,...

New single-layer 2D Covalent Organic Framework discovered: TANG-COF

The discovery of ballistic charge transport in graphene ignited the quest for two-dimensional (2D) materials and they are now used in various applications, such as electronics and materials science. In particular, 2D π-conjugated covalent organic...

Improved deep-blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter: TMCz-BO

Traditionally, OLEDs only achieved an internal quantum efficiency of 25% since only singlet excited states can be used to emit fluorescence. The other 75% is excited to a triplet state and recently heavy metals have...

SCM at the F19MRS in Boston

Going to the 2019 MRS fall meeting 1-5 December 2019? Check out Matti’s talk on Machine Learning potentials for next generation materials modeling -his EU project MaLeR– on 3 December, 9.45am at Hynes 210. Thomas...

SCM at IDTechEx Show

Going to the IDTechEx Show in Santa Clara, 20-21 November, to learn about the latest emerging technologies? Fedor would be delighted to discuss your challenges and see where the Amsterdam Modeling Suite could help you...

Geometry Optimization with the Optimally Tuned Range-Separated Hybrid Functional

The state-of-the-art DFT is, as it turns out, too accurate for gas-phase calculations to be relevant to materials research.  Dielectric effects can be readily accounted for within the optimally tuned range-separated hybrid (OT-RSH) functional framework...

Webinar: Bridging Computations and Real-World Examples

Thomas gave an overview of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite for the Latin American theoretical chemistry community. With applications to organic electronics, batteries and polymers. Watch it back on youtube!

Advanced tutorial: Optimize TADF emitters for OLEDs

Learn how to use ADF to optimize molecules for Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) for optimal conversion efficiency in OLED materials with our new advanced tutorial. TADF optimization tutorial

What to expect at the IDTechEx show?

It is almost time for the IDTechEx show in Berlin! On the 10th and 11th of April, you can find Thomas Soini and Fedor Goumans at stand F14. They are looking forward to meeting you...

Solvation-Mediated Tuning of the Range-Separated Hybrid Functional

Since its first appearance in 2010, the optimal tuning of the range-separated hybrid functional has reshaped the landscape of computational chemistry, by placing routine DFT calculations on par with those of the prohibitively expensive many-body...
