We investigate charge transport in disordered organic host-guest systems with a bimodal Gaussian density of states (DOS). The energy difference between the two Gaussians defines the trap depth. By solving the Pauli master equation for the hopping of charge carriers on a regular lattice with site energies randomly drawn from the DOS, we obtain the dependence of the charge-carrier mobility on the relative guest concentration, the trap depth, the energetic disorder, the charge-carrier density and the electric field. At small and high guest concentrations, our work provides support for recent semi-analytical model results on the dependence of the mobility on the charge-carrier density at zero field. However, at the cross-over between the trap-limited and trap-to-trap hopping regimes, where the mobility attains a minimum, our results can almost be one order of magnitude larger than predicted semi-analytically. Furthermore, it is shown that field-induced detrapping can contribute strongly to the electric-field dependence of the mobility. A simple analytical expression is provided which describes the effect. This result can be used in continuum drift-diffusion models for charge transport in devices such as organic light-emitting diodes.
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.
