Growth and Electronic Transport in 9,10‐Diphenylanthracene Single Crystals—An Organic Semiconductor of High Electron and Hole Mobility

Abstract

Electron and hole transport is demonstrated on bulk crystals of the organic semiconductor 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA). The high mobilities at room temperature for electrons (ca. 13 cm2 Vs–1) and holes (ca. 3.7 cm2 Vs–1) make DPA a prominent candidate for device applications. The hole mobility follows a bandlike transport at high temperatures (200K–400K) and a saturation behavior in the low-temperature regime (see figure), the latter being discussed in the context of various transport models.
