Lodge, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, DMR 0819885 Principal Investigators Front row (left to right): Prof. Jun Takeya (Osaka Univ.), Prof. Yoshihiro Iwasa (Tohoku Univ.), Prof. Dan Frisbie, (IRG-2), Shimpei Ono, (CRIEPI, Takeya collaborator) Second row: Dr. Hidekazu Shimotani (Tohoku), Hongtao Yuan (Tohoku), Yu Xia (IRG-2), Prof. Tim Lodge (IRG-1), Keun-Hyung Lee (IRG-2) Third row: Prof. Xiaoyang Zhu (IRG-2 & 4), Mingjing Ha (IRG-2), Loren Kaake (IRG-2) Description and Significance International collaborators from Japan (Iwasa Lab, Tohoku University and Takeya Lab, Osaka University) visited the UMN and IRG-2 labs for two days. A workshop was held on the use of ionic liquids and gels to induce large carrier densities in organic semiconductors. This new materials approach, pioneered at Minnesota and at Tohoku University, promises exciting advancements in the understanding of electrical transport phenomena in organic semiconductors, as well as new low voltage device applications.
