Preface

Since the discovery of electrical conduction in organic materials, more than half a century has passed. During this period, highly conducting stable materials have been realized, and even organic superconductors have been discovered. Organic semiconductor devices such as organic light-emitting diodes, organic transistors, and organic solar cells have been developed. Some of them are sold in the market. Chemical constituents of organic materials are complicated in comparison with inorganic materials, but the electronic structure is simple. Organic conductors afford an excellent playground of various intriguing physics. This book provides an overview of electrical conduction and the related phenomena in organic materials and elucidates the logic behind them. This book is based on a Japanese book originally published in 2013. Organic conductors have been studied somewhat independently of organic semiconductors, but this book deals with both fields. The focus is placed on the physics and chemistry of organic materials that conduct electricity. This is a rapidly growing field, but the fundamental aspects are emphasized. This book is intended to be more than a textbook but less than a review. Basic knowledge of solid-state physics is necessary to understand the properties of these materials. In a physics depar
