From a numerical solution of the master equation for hopping transport in a disordered energy landscape with a Gaussian density of states, the dependence of the charge-carrier mobility on temperature, carrier density, and electric field is determined.Abstract:
From a numerical solution of the master equation for hopping transport in a disordered energy landscape with a Gaussian density of states, we determine the dependence of the charge-carrier mobility on temperature, carrier density, and electric field. Experimental current-voltage characteristics in devices based on semiconducting polymers are excellently reproduced with this unified description of the mobility. At room temperature it is mainly the dependence on carrier density that plays an important role, whereas at low temperatures and high fields the electric field dependence becomes important. Omission in the past of the carrier-density dependence has led to an underestimation of the hopping distance and the width of the density of states in these polymers.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a unified model of how charge carriers travel in conjugated polymer films is proposed, and it is shown that in high-molecular-weight polymers, efficient charge transport is allowed due to a network of interconnected aggregates that are characterized by short-range order.
