TLDR
In this paper, the conduction and thermoelectric powers of thiourea have been reported and the mobility of the charge carriers appears to be somewhat low, and Trapping of majority carriers is suggested to be responsible for the observed abnormalities.
Abstract
As part of an extensive programme on semiconduction in aliphatic molecular crystals, the conduction and thermoelectric powers of thiourea have been reported. Thiourea is found to be a p-type electronic semiconductor, has a very high value of Seebeck coefficient and has a high energy of activation for carrier generation (2.70 ev). The mobility of the charge carriers appears to be somewhat low. The results have been discussed on the basis of the model proposed by Johnson and Lark-Horowitz. Trapping of majority carriers is suggested to be responsible for the observed abnormalities.

Synthesis And Characterization Of New Polyamides, Poly(Amide Imide)s, Polyimides And Polyurethanes Bearing Thiourea Moieties

Ayesha Kausar
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of thiourea and other functional groups on the properties of newly synthesized polymers were scrutinized together with their structure-property relationship, and the results showed that the incorporation of different functional groups provides an opportunity to control certain physical properties such as solvent miscibility, ηinh, crystallinity, molecular weight, thermal stability and flame retardancy of the resulting polymers.

Charge Carrier Production and Mobility in Anthracene Crystals

R. G. Kepler
- 15 Aug 1960 - 
TL;DR: The drift mobilities of electrons and holes in anthracene crystals have been measured using a pulsed photoconductivity technique as mentioned in this paper, and the results indicate that the charge carriers are not produced in the interior of the crystal, but that they are released from a surface layer of a crystal either directly by photons or by excitons which migrate to the surface.

Theory of Thermoelectric Power in Semiconductors with Applications to Germanium

TL;DR: In this article, the thermoelectric power of a semiconductor was derived by calculating the Thomson coefficient from electrical and thermal current density expressions and then integrating the relation of the relation to the Fermi level, forbidden band width, temperature, ratio of electron to hole mobility and effective electron and hole masses.
