Barrier-controlled carrier transport in microcrystalline semiconducting materials: Description within a unified model
A recently developed model that unifies the ballistic and diffusive transport mechanisms is applied in a theoretical study of carrier transport across potential barriers at grain boundaries in microcrystalline semiconducting materials. In the unified model, the conductance depends on the detailed structure of the band edge profile and in a nonlinear way on the carrier mean free path. Equilibriu...
متن کاملUnified description of charge-carrier mobilities in disordered semiconducting polymers.
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 ...
متن کاملTowards a unified description of the charge transport mechanisms in conductive atomic force microscopy studies of semiconducting polymers.
In this work, conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) is used to study the local electrical properties in thin films of self-organized fibrillate poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), as a reference polymer semiconductor. Depending on the geometrical confinement in the transport channel, the C-AFM current is shown to be governed either by the charge transport in the film or by the carrier injection...
متن کاملA realistic description of the charge carrier wave function in microcrystalline polymer semiconductors.
The electronic structure of the charge carrier in one of the most commonly used semiconducting polymers (poly(3-hexylthiophene (P3HT)) is described using a combination of classical and quantum chemical methods. It is shown that the carriers are localized in correspondence with long-lived traps which are present also in the crystalline phase of the polymer. The existence of activated transport f...
متن کاملUltrafast carrier dynamics in undoped microcrystalline silicon
We have studied ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited carriers in mc-Si:H by pump and probe laser spectroscopy. We have found that the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in mc-Si:H depend on the crystallinity of the material: in the samples with low crystalline fraction, the dynamics have a fast decay and resemble those in a-Si:H, while in the samples with high crystallinity the dynamics are slower...
