Low-frequency current fluctuations are investigated over a bias range covering Ohmic, trap-filling, and space-charge-limited current regimes in polycrystalline polyacenes. The relative current noise power spectral density S(f) is constant in the Ohmic region, steeply increases at the trap-filling transition region, and decreases in the space-charge-limited-current region. The noise peak at the trap-filling transition is accounted for within a continuum percolation model. As the quasi-Fermi level crosses the trap level, intricate insulating paths nucleate within the Ohmic matrix, determining the onset of nonequilibrium conditions at the interface between the insulating and conducting phase. The noise peak is written in terms of the free and trapped charge carrier densities.read more

Experimental studies on 1/f noise
TL;DR: Experimental studies on 1/f noise are reviewed with emphasis on experiments that may be decisive in finding the correct theoretical model for this type of noise as discussed by the authors. But the applicability of either theory turns out to be very limited.

Space-charge limited photocurrent.
TL;DR: The experimental photocurrents reveal all the characteristics of a space-charge limited photocurrent: a one-half power dependence on voltage, a three-quarter power dependent on light intensity, and a one half power scaling of the voltage at which the photocurrent switches into full saturation with light intensity.
