Hole mobilities have been measured in diethylamino-benzaldehyde-diphenylhydrazone (DEH)-doped polymers as a function of the polymer composition, temperature, and electric field. It was found that the electric field dependence on the mobility was a strong function of the binder polymer employed. In all cases, the electric field dependence E can be described as exp(βE1/2T−1). β2 is related to the density of photoinduced spins in the molecularly doped polymers, which are related to the interaction between DEH and the polymer.
Charge-dipole interaction effects in molecularly doped polymers are discussed. The charge-dipole Coulomb interaction makes exponentially distributed traps. Calculating the mobility with their traps leads to mobility behavior like Gill's equation. The cancellation of a dipole corresponds to coincidence events of small-polaron hopping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
