In this article, the authors explored the charge-carrier transport mechanism in the organic semiconductor pentacene using thin-film transistor structures and found that the variation of the field-effect mobility with temperature differs from sample to sample, ranging from thermally activated to temperature-independent behavior.Abstract:
The charge-carrier transport mechanism in the organic semiconductor pentacene is explored using thin-film transistor structures. The variation of the field-effect mobility with temperature differs from sample to sample, ranging from thermally activated to temperature-independent behavior. This result excludes thermally activated hopping as the fundamental transport mechanism in pentacene thin films, and suggests that traps and/or contact effects may strongly influence the observed characteristics. These results also indicate that field-effect transistors may not be appropriate vehicles for illuminating basic transport mechanisms in organic materials.read more

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials as semiconducting channels in thin-film field-effect transistors
TL;DR: A thin-film field-effect transistor having an organic-inorganic hybrid material as the semiconducting channel was demonstrated and molecular engineering of the organic and inorganic components of the hybrids is expected to further improve device performance for low-cost thin- film transistors.

The larger acenes: versatile organic semiconductors.
TL;DR: New approaches to add functionality were developed to improve the processability of these materials in solution, allowing the synthesis of acenes larger than pentacene, which have hitherto been largely unavailable and poorly studied.

Studies of polaron motion: Part I. The molecular-crystal model
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for polaron motion is described, in simplified form, incorporating the principal physical features of the problem, and the conditions under which the size of the polaron becomes comparable to a lattice spacing (small) are discussed.

Pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the large sub-threshold slope typically observed is not an intrinsic property of the organic semiconducting material and that devices with sub-reshold slope similar to amorphous silicon devices are possible.

Ultrapure, High Mobility Organic Photoconductors*
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that high charge carrier mobility is an inherent property of organic molecular crystals at low temperatures and demonstrate that charge carrier transport measurements are a sensitive tool for the analytical characterization of high purity organic molecular crystal.
