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...
Highlights with ‘organic electronics’

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...
Photoinduced Charge Separation in Organic Photovoltaics: Effect of Dispersion
The effects of dispersion forces on the structure and charge separation (CS) in the P3HT/PCBM dimer were studied using state-of-the-art computational methods in ADF (DFT-D3, TDDFT–CAMYB3LYP). The authors demonstrate the importance to properly account for...
Tuning the range separation in LC-wPBE for organic electronics
Optimizing TADF emission Long-range corrected density functional theory can ameliorate some of the known problems of DFT dealing with charge transfer states (e.g. push-pull systems). These systems are of great interest for organic electronics, and...
