ABSTRACTMeasurements and theory are presented examining the relationship between mobility and doping in regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Mobility is found to increase super-linearly with doping and is comparable to models reported for other conjugated polymers. Schottky measurements have been used to calculate the doping density and bulk mobility of regioregular P3HT. Aluminium Schottky contacts showed signs of native oxide disrupting current flow through the device. This effect was observed to degrade further with the introduction of dopant into the polymer. Titanium devices show a general shift of the Schottky characteristic to higher current levels with increased dopant. Field effect mobility of P3HT films was also calculated using thin-film transistor (TFT) structures. The field effect mobility values were observed to be more than two orders of magnitude higher than the bulk mobility value. The addition of dopant also increased gate leakage currents in TFT devices. The increased conductivity in doped polymer can increase off currents in the device; this is avoided by using Schottky contacts as the source and drain. Preliminary results on Schottky contact TFTs are also presented as well as a description of the operation of such a device.

The field-effect transistor method is used to study the mobility of charge carriers in layers of lead sulfide nanocrystals with ligands of tetrabutylammonium iodide and 1,2-ethanedithiol used to create solar cells. The difference between the operating of a transistor in ambient air and in an inert atmosphere is demonstrated. It is shown that, in the ambient air, the processes of charging nanocrystals are activated when current flows, and the influence of the polarization of the interface of nanocrystals and the insulator on the measurement of the mobility is analyzed. Different reactions of the layers with ligands to light have been demonstrated, showing a significant oxidation of the surface of nanocrystals treated with 1,2-ethanedithiol.
