Fundamental Properties of PTCDI-C8 Semiconductor for Optoelectronic and Photonic Applications

Abstract

In this study, we investigated fundamental properties such as electrical and optical properties of the N,N?-Dioctyl-3,4,9,10 perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C8) Organic Semiconductor (OSC) material for optoelectronic and photonic applications. The important spectral parameters such as mass extinction coefficient and transmittance spectrum of the PTCDI-C8 molecule were calculated. Optical properties such as refractive index, optical band gap, real and imaginary parts of dielectric constants of the PTCDI-C8 were obtained. The electrical and optical conductance properties were also investigated. The advantages and disadvantages of obtained fundamental parameters were determined for optoelectronic and photonic applications. © 2017 Author(s).
