Introduction/Curriculum This Master programme is a stand-alone part of the consecutive course Energy Science (4 years Bachelor programme and 1 year Master programme). It results in the graduation in the aforementioned course. Students are prepared to develop and assess different concepts of the energy supply used by modern society. This is mainly done from a scientific perspective, while imparting a general overview about corresponding technologies and their sustainability. The standard period of study is 1 year and students graduate with the degree Master of Sci-ence (M.Sc.). This degree attests the aforesaid professional qualification. Graduates are qualified to enter associated professions, e.g., research and development in energy conver-sion or storage, energy management or energy consulting. As shown in the following diagram, the Master programme is segmented into modules. This manual lists the courses belonging to each module and outlines their content and the compe-tences to be conveyed. The workload associated with a course is accounted for by a certain amount of credits in accordance with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation Sys-tem (ECTS). 1 ECTS-credit corresponds to 30 hours of work. Courses are held in English or German. In the interest of improved clarity, modules imparting similar qualifications are arranged into three competence areas. The competence area Energy Science covers interdisciplinary aspects of the energy supply, ranging from the microscopic basics conversion, transport, and storage of energy to aspects of technology, economy and sustainability. Scientific skills based on current research are conveyed in the competence area General-Natural Science. The competence area Further Qualifications contains the Research Phase (1 and 2), which are performed within a research group of the associated faculties and are individually super-vised by a university or associated professor. Within reason, the faculties will comply with each student’s choice of the supervisor. In the first part of the research phase (module Re-search Phase 1, length: 3 months), students will become acquainted with one topic of current research in energy science. Additionally, students will acquire the skills necessary to perform research on aforementioned topic themselves. The research is performed by the students under supervision and put to writing in the following 6 month (module Research Phase 2). Submission of the resulting Master’s thesis represents the completion of aforesaid Master programme.

Lecture and Tutorial


The students can classify organic materials with respect to morphology and bonding structure. They know basic concepts of molecular physics, such as conjugated electron system, Molekülarparadoxon, exiton, Franck-Kondon concept and can apply it correctly. Students can establish basic relationship between molecular properties and component properties, such as following correlations: Functional side groups - shift of the molecular orbitals, orientation of the molecules – movement of charge carrier Extension of the pi-system - spectral shift, etc.The students eventually know the essential critical parameters that limit the individual component properties and known concepts in order to counteract these limitations, for transistors, light emitting diodes and solar cells.

Contents

This course introduces students tot he organic electronics and optoelectronics. With it a bal-ance of fundamental molecular physics and component-related concepts is alway sought. At the beginning a classification of organic materials and a classification with respect to their mor-phological / structural properties is carried out. The electronic structure of organic semiconduc-tors, based on the binding conditions. Is explained amd the usual organic models will be pre-sented. Special emphasis is placed on the electron-phonon coupling (Molekülpolaron) and on the influence of disorder. Parallels and differences in inorganic semiconductors will be high-lighted. The course also focuses on concepts for doping organic semiconductors and some commercially relevant "Intrinsically Conductive Polymers" (ICPs) and dopants are introduced.

There follows an introduction into contact phenomena at the interfaces of the metal / org. semi-conductors. On the basis of this knowledge simple transport-based devices such as the one-layer diode and the organic field effect transistor are introduced. Furthermore, the course treats the optical properties of organic materials, with particular emphasis on the formation of singlet and triplet excitons and phonon couplings (Franck-Condon principle). Based on these founda-tions organic light-emitting diodes and organic solar cells are presented as optoelectronic com-ponents. Here each technically important characteristics are introduced and it discusses basic component concepts to the historical development stages.

The students know about heat transport on nanoscale at interfaces.

Content

Thermoelectric generators afford the opportunity to transform heat loss into electric energy by using the Seebeck-Effect. A requirement to optimize this process ist a basic knowledge of heat and heat conduction.

During this Lecture I will introduce the students into the basics of phonons by the density of states and the debye model. Furthermore the heat transfer inside the bulk will be worked out for deducing the influence of an interface on the heat transport.The heat transfer of films through interfaces into a substrate can be well described by the two continuum models Acous-tic Mismatch Model (AMM) und Diffuse Mismatch Model (DMM).Both models will be presented, exemplarily calculated for one layer sytem and compared to each other.

At the end of this course it will be discussed at which film thickness and number of layers the two models are still valid. This course ends with an introduction to experimental methods for measuring heat transfer resistances.
