چکیده

Models for the carrier photoexcitation mechanism in molecular crystals have been established initially on the bases of measurements on oligoacenes and later applied to conjugated polymers as well. These models emphasize the localized nature of photoexcitations and describe carrier generation as a secondary process involving exciton dissociation. The results of our photoconductivity studies of single crystal tetracene are at variance with these widely accepted models, and in fact indicate that the photocarrier quantum efficiency appears independent of temperature, photon energy, and light intensity, thus featuring the hallmarks of direct interband carrier photogeneration and coherent carrier transport at band states.

An important parameter for applications of organic semiconductor in devices is their charge-carrier mobility. It has been predicted theoretically that forming face-to-face p-stacks at the molecular level may increase the charge-carrier mobility due to enhanced electronic couplings. To achieve different molecular arrangements, we recently synthesized and crystallized a tetracene derivative, 5,6,...

Field 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...

Although liability under general tort and contract law principles is not limited to a certain amount, liability arising under a carriage contract is limited by the majority of international transport conventions and national legislatures and, there are certain reasons given to justify the “essential departure from the current rules of civil law” and it is common for the liability of the carrier...

THE CARRIER FACILITATED TRANSPORT OF THE LITHIUM IONS BY A SERIES OF NON-CYCLIC SYNTHETIC IONOPHORES

The carrier facilitated transport of lithium picrate was studied using a series of non-cyclic polyethers containing different end groups and chain lengths through Bulk Liquid Membrane (BLM) and Supported Liquid Membrane (SLM) systems. The various membrane supports used are viz. PTFE, cellulose nitrate, and dialysis membrane and onion membrane. The amount of Li+ transported depends upon the stru...
