Organic electronics: On the border
Liesbeth Venema1
Abstract
At the interface between two compounds, physical properties can emerge that neither material displays on its own. A striking example of such an effect occurs at the border between two organic molecular crystals.
Sometimes two people seem perfect for each other, but arrangements to get them together just don't work out. Materials scientists face a similar challenge when wanting to bring together two different compounds in the hope that the combined structure will have useful properties.
