Tetracene and pentacene are particularly promising as anode materials. They open the way to creating more efficient and cost-effective solutions for storing electrical energy.

Pentacene for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) was deposited on the SiOC film by thermal evaporation. The transfer characteristic of the pentacene channel as the active layer is dependent on the ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown that quantum states of single electron spins can be controlled by currents of electrons whose spins are evenly aligned. In the future, this method could be used in ...

Researchers in Imperial College London's Department of Materials have developed a new portable maser that can fit the size of a shoebox.

To get around this, the new qubit used a pentacene-based chromophore — a dye molecule that absorbs light and emits color — embedded into a new metal-organic framework (MOF).

The relatively less sterically hindered furan and thiophene ring is not orthogonal to pentacene and expected to extend the conjugation, contributing to an extended and more symmetric triplet electron ...

Using atomic force microscopy, we probed the growth of pentacene molecules on graphene that was fabricated by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto 300 nm-thick SiO2 substrates. The ...

Due to their high hole mobility, pentacene and its derivatives have been the representative organic semiconductors and have been the subject of much research, both basic and applied. In particular ...

ConspectusPentacene shows unique electronic properties that have long been appreciated and exploited. Over the past 20 years, new synthetic schemes have been developed to address some of the problems ...
