Abstract
In-plane anisotropic carrier transport in single-crystalline grains of the dip-coated 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) (TIPS) pentacene film is studied by using the time-resolved microscopic optical second-harmonic generation (TRM-SHG). The TRM-SHG imaging directly visualizes the directional dependence of the carrier velocity, indicating the anisotropic carrier mobility of the TIPS pentacene single crystal. Results showed that the mobility anisotropy is smaller than that obtained from the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics. Overestimation of the mobility anisotropy using the I–V characteristics, compared with that obtained from the TRM-SHG measurement, is ascribed to the effect of the grain boundary on the carrier transport.
