Theories of the Charge Transport Mechanism in Ordered Organic Semiconductors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Organic Electronics

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 223))

Abstract

The traditional theories of charge transport in ordered organic semiconductors are reviewed and their limitations discussed. The recent contributions of computational chemistry to the understanding of the parameters that determine the charge mobility in bulk semiconductors are analyzed in detail. The effect of thermal motions on the electronic wavefunction and the effect of strong off-diagonal electron–phonon coupling are identified as essential ingredients for the proper description of the charge dynamics. The development of suitable methods to compute the charge mobility taking into account these new computational results is reviewed, with special emphasis on the models that allow the prediction of the structure–property relationship. The available experimental evidence is compared with the predictions made by the most recent models.
