Abstract
Carrier transport dynamics from sub-50 ps to ∼μs over five temporal decades in pentacene films was studied by transient photoconductivity. The behavior of the temperature independent photocurrent peak suggests that the photogenerated carriers exhibit pre-trapping transport in extended states upon pulsed laser excitation. From 300 ps to ∼30 ns, the carriers thermalize and fall into shallow band tail states, and multiple-trapping and release transport dominates. From ∼30 ns to ∼μs, the weak temperature dependence of power-law photocurrent decay and the linear relation of logarithmic photocurrent with T−1/4 suggest a variable range hopping transport in deep trap states.
