Kinetics of thermalization of electric charge carriers in organic molecular semiconductors in strong electric fields

摘要

The kinetics of photogeneration of electric charge carriers in organic molecular semiconductors in strong electric fields is investigated within a theoretical model that includes the diffusion-drift mechanism of motion of electric charge carriers. In the framework of the proposed model, it is established that the time dependence of the probability of dissociation of a geminal pair exhibits an exponential behavior. The time constant strongly depends on the electric charge carrier hopping distance and the external electric field strength in accordance with the experimental data.
