My research

Since 1967 I have been working on different problems of solid state theory. My current interests are mainly

• Conjugated (conducting) polymers: Transport properties, organic devices as organic LED and OFET, systems with polarons and bipolarons as charged states, space charge layers

• The work on OFET is part of the Schwerpunktprogramm 1121 "Organische Feldeffekt-Transistoren" of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, this work is coordinated within the institute within a common project "Polymerelectronics" whith the Dunsch group (OFET on the basis of C60) and the Knupfer group (spectroscopic investigation of interfaces in OFETs). There is also a close connection to other Groups

• OFET: An organic FET with nonlithographically defined SUBMICROMETER channel length, see # 227. of the list of recent publications

• Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammograms of conducting polymers

• Other low dimensional systems as charge density wave conductors (transport)

• Plasmon dispersion in special low dimensional systems (direct determination of band structure data)

• Microelectronics: Deep submicron scaling of MOSFETs and vertical FETs, non-volatile memories, SOI

I am cooperating at present closely with collegues from the Technical University Ilmenau, University Bayreuth, Institute of Physics Prague of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, A.N. Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry RAS Moscow, common research in the last years with DECHEMA Frankfurt, TU Dresden, University Jena, University College London and many others

Publications

• I am author or coauthor of about 230 scientific publications in journals and in proceedings of conferences. The complete list is available on request (g.paasch@ifw-dresden.de).

• I am coauther of the book ‘Ergebnisse in der Elektronentheorie der Metalle’ (Eds. P. Ziesche and G. Lehmann), Springer 1983 (a russian translation has been published by Mir Moscow, 1984)

• I have been the supervisor of the research of 18 PhD students at the Technical University Dresden, the University Halle and the Technical University Ilmenau
