Charge transport in disordered molecular solids

Abstract

Hole mobilities have been measured in vapor deposited films of 1,1-bis(di-4-tolylaminophenyl)cyclohexane (TAPC) and TAPC-doped bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (BPPC). Over an extended range of temperatures, the mobilities decrease with increasing field at low fields. At high fields, a log μ∝E1/2 relationship is observed with a slope that approaches zero at high temperatures. The results are described within the framework of the disorder transport formalism. By comparison of the experimental results with Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the observed behavior is a signature of the simultaneous presence of diagonal and off-diagonal disorder. Agreement between simulation results and experiment is excellent. Generalizing these results provides a framework for determining the magnitude of the relevant diagonal and off-diagonal disorder parameters from an analysis of mobility measurements.
