A Drift{diffusion Equation for Charge Transport in Inhomogeneous Materials
نویسنده
چکیده
From a hopping rate equation for disordered materials we derive a macroscopic drift{di usion equation. For this purposes two space{time scales are simultaneously considered. The microscopic dynamics is characterized by the distribution of localized states and the hopping rate. On the macroscopic space scale both the hopping rate and the disordered material are allowed to be inhomogeneous.

Modeling anomalous charge carrier transport in disordered organic semiconductors using the fractional drift-diffusion equation
Anomalous transport is ever-present in many disordered organic semiconductor materials. The long-tail behavior observed in the transient photocurrent is a manifestation of anomalous transport. Owing to the fact that anomalous transport has dispersive and non-Gaussian transport dynamics, thus anomalous transport cannot be adequately described by the standard drift-diffusion equation which is a f...
متن کامل2. Electrical Conduction in Metals and Semiconductors
Electrical transport through materials is a large and complex field, and in this chapter we cover only a few aspects that are relevant to practical applications. We start with a review of the semi-classical approach that leads to the concepts of drift velocity, mobility and conductivity, from which Matthiessen’s Rule is derived. A more general approach based on the Boltzmann transport equation ...

متن کاملField Dependent Charge Carrier Transport for Organic Semiconductors at the Time of Flight Configuration
In this paper, we used the time-of-flight (TOF) of a charge packet, that injected by a voltage pulse to calculate the drift velocity and mobility of holes in organic semiconducting polymers. The technique consists in applying a voltage to the anode and calculating the time delay in the appearance of the injected carriers at the other contact. The method is a simple way to determine the charge t...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of Transport Processes in Semiconductors
The peculiarities of electric current in semiconductors with nonuniform distribution of charge carriers are studied. The semiclassical drift-diffusion equations consisting of the continuity equations and the Poisson equation are solved numerically using Rusanov finite-difference scheme of third order. The different types of boundary conditions are numerically investigated. It is shown that the ...
