Abstract

The influence of ordered regions (micro crystallites and aggregates) in the other wise disordered polymer host matrix on field and temperature dependence of mobility (μ) has been simulated. Increase in concentration of ordered regions leads to increase in magnitude of mobility and in high field regime the saturation of the mobility occurs at lower electric field strength. The influence of different mean and standard deviation of Gaussian density of states (DOS) of ordered regions on the field dependence of mobility was studied and found to be significant only at higher concentrations. Weak influence of these parameters at low concentrations is attributed to the strong interface effects due to the difference in the standard deviation of DOS of two regions (host and ordered region) and shallow trapping effect by ordered regions. For all the parameters of ordered regions under investigation the temperature dependence of mobility (logμ) and the slope of logμ vs. E1/2 plot show 1/T2 dependence.
