Characterization of the ambipolar transport properties of polymer-based organic photoconductor by non-steady-state photo-EMF technique

Abstract:

Organic semiconductors with bipolar (electron and hole) transport capability play a crucial role in electronic and optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), bipolar transistors and photovoltaic cells. Recently, a considerable amount of work has been devoted to the characterization of ambipolar transport in organic materials, allowing for a better understanding of their properties as well as the physical processes, which take place in materials and devices [1-4]. The experimental methods used to obtain information about charge transport in organic semiconductors - time-of-flight (TOF) transient photoconductivity [5], charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage (CELIV) [6], current-voltage measurements in space charge limited current regime [7], and field effect transistor (FET) measurements [8, 9] are mostly focused on determination of charge carrier mobility. On the other hand, for many …
