[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Friday's Group Meeting

Hi Here's the abstract for Friday's good meeting. As of now, all the schedule is confirmed. Roberto *TITLE: Theoretical Characterization of Charge Transport in Organic Molecular Crystals* An overview of the theoretical characterization of the charge transport parameters in organic semiconductors will be presented. We investigate widely studied and well-known organic molecular semiconductors such as oligoacene and oligothiophene derivatives. The local and nonlocal electron-phonon interactions in oligoacene crystals are addressed using an approach based on density functional theory. Within this framework, we describe the vibronic coupling interactions in oligoacene cations, [1] the electron-phonon coupling in oligoacene crystals, [2] and the charge transport properties in small organic molecular crystals.
