Abstract
Abstract The hole drift mobilities in polysilanes with diverse substituents and different molecular weights have been measured by the conventional time-of-flight technique. Depending on the kind of substituents, hole drift mobilities varied by more than one order of magnitude; poly(?henyltrimethyldisilane) gave the highest room temperature hole drift mobility, 6·0 × 10−4cm2V−1s−1 at a field of 2 × 105 V cm−1, of all the polysilanes reported so far. The electric field and temperature dependences of the hole drift mobilities in polysilanes were analysed in the framework of Gill's expression and Bassler's consideration. Polysilanes with an aromatic side group exhibited a zero-field activation energy E 0 of ca. 0·35 eV compared to E 0 = 0·22-0·26 eV obtained for polysilanes with non-aromatic groups, while poly(phenyltrimethyldisilane), with one aromatic side group at every two Si atoms, manifested E 0 = 0·26 eV, a value which may be categorized in the latter group with non-aromatic substituents. The effects o...
