Organic Electronics
Organic (chemistry):Organic Chemistry is a discipline within chemistry that involves the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of hydrocarbons and their derivatives. These compounds may contain any number of other elements, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, the halogens as well as phosphorus, silicon and sulphur [Wikipedia]

Organic Electronics
ElectronicsElectronics is that branch of science and technology which makes use of the controlled motion of electrons through different media and vacuum.[...] Most electronic devices today use semiconductor components to perform electron control. The study of semiconductor devices and related technology is considered a branch of physics, whereas the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems come under electronics engineering.[Wikipedia]

Mobility [m2/Vs]
Silicon: 0.14 (electron)
2D electron gas (2DEG): ~300
Nanotube: ~ 10.0
Semiconducting polymer: < 0.001
We assumed electrons move freely between two collisions. Is that a good approximation?

Band Theory
Electrons in periodic solids (crystals) interact with the ions (crystal lattice)
Energy bands are like atomic or molecular levels, but depend on a parameter, k
