About SimOEP
The SimOEP conference brings together modelling experts and device physicists from industry and academia in the field of organic and perovskite solar cells as well as OLEDs. This unique conference will focus on a comprehensive range of topics.
Light management for enhanced light-absorption in solar cells and enhanced light emission in OLEDs
Charge and exciton transport modelling in organic semiconductor devices – from molecular to the device level
Charge transport modelling in various organic and hybrid solar cells: planar and bulk heterojunction perovskite and organic solar cells
Charge injection, transport, and recombination processes in state-of-the-art OLEDs
Models for a variety of electrical device characterization techniques from DC, transient to AC operation
Advanced optical and electrical characterization techniques and experimental validation
Parameter extraction techniques
Morphological structure and property correlation
Advanced materials and devices such as novel LEDs, ionic devices, QD materials, and non-fullerene acceptors
Machine Learning
The three-day conference will start with an OLED and Emerging LED focus on Day 1, then continue with Emerging PV technologies on Day 2, and end with Novel Devices (e.g. thin film batteries, QD devices) and methods (e.g. machine learning) on Day 3. A more detailed agenda will be published in due course.
Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductivity in Perovskites Workshop
On the first two days of the conference, the Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductivity in Perovskites Workshop will be held after the SimOEP program. This workshop is organized by Dr. Wolfgang Tress and covers various topics related to perovskites.
The participation in this workshop is included in the access to the SimOEP' 22 conference and is based on the ERC-project OptElon (Defect Engineering, Advanced Modelling and Characterization for Next Generation Opto-Electronic-Ionic Devices).
