Introduction and Fundamental Principles of Ambipolar Materials

This book focuses on ambipolar materials and related devices. An introductory description on the fundamental properties and theories of ambipolar materials and devices is first presented. Then, the synthesis and properties of various state-of-the-art ambipolar materials, the operation principles and electrical performance of their devices, as well as several ambipolar device architectures are discussed. Various applications based on ambipolar devices are also presented. Lastly, we point out the remaining challenges, comprising material design and device fabrication, that need to be confronted in achieving ambipolar charge transport, and propose several possible strategies.
