The solubilizing side-groups of solution-processable π-conjugated organic semiconductors affect both the crystal structure and microstructure of the respective thin films and thus charge-carrier mobility in devices.

Comprehensive Study

ABSTRACTWe present comprehensive study of ultrafast charge carrier dynamics in a variety of organic molecular crystals. In all samples, we observed sub-picosecond charge photogeneration and band-like transport, characterized by (i) an increase in charge carrier mobility as the temperature decreases in a wide temperature range of at least 20 K – 300 K and (ii) mobility anisotropy in the a-b plane of the crystals. The temperature dependence of the decay dynamics of the transient photoconductivity reveals the presence of shallow trapping sites in herring-bone-type-structured crystals (such as pentacene (Pc), tetracene (Tc), and rubrene (Rub)), while such traps are apparently absent in “brick-wall”-type crystals (such as functionalized pentacene (FPc)). We also report on the measurements of the charge carrier mobility anisotropy in the a-b plane of two types of FPc single crystals. Anisotropies of approximately 3.5 and 11.6 were obtained in the crystals characterized by crystal structures favoring two-dimensional and one-dimensional charge transport, respectively, consistent with the degree of π-overlap along different directions in the crystals.

Charge carrier mobility in organic semiconductors is not a constant value unambigously characterizing some particular material, but depends on the electric field, temperature and even on time after it was generated or injected. The time dependence is particularly important for the thin-film devices where charge carriers pass the organic layer before mobility reaching its stationary value. Here we give a review of experimental techniques with ultrafast timeresolution enabling one to address the mobility kinetics and analyse properties of the time-dependent mobility in conjugated polymers and organic solar cells. We analyse kinetics during the charge carrier generation and extraction of free charge carriers. The mobility typically decreases by several orders of magnitude on a picosecond-nanosecond time scale; however, its kinetics also depends on the investigation technique. The mobility kinetics in blends for bulk heterojunction solar cells strongly depends on the stoichiometric ratio of donor and acceptor materials.

Virtual Design

Organic semiconductors (OSC) are key components in applications such as organic photovoltaics, organic sensors, transistors and organic light emitting diodes (OLED). OSC devices, especially OLEDs, often consist of multiple layers comprising one or more species of organic molecules. The unique properties of each molecular species and their interaction determine charge transport in OSCs—a key factor for device performance. The small charge carrier mobility of OSCs compared to inorganic semiconductors remains a major limitation of OSC device performance. Virtual design can support experimental R&D towards accelerated R&D of OSC compounds with improved charge transport. Here we benchmark a de novo multiscale workflow to compute the charge carrier mobility solely on the basis of the molecular structure: We generate virtual models of OSC thin films with atomistic resolution, compute the electronic structure of molecules in the thin films using a quantum embedding procedure and simulate charge transport with kinetic Monte-Carlo protocol. We show that for 15 common amorphous OSC the computed zero-field and field-dependent mobility are in good agreement with experimental data, proving this approach to be an effective virtual design tool for OSC materials and devices.
