The photovoltaic and charge transport properties of solar cells whose active layer is made from poly[3-(4-octylphenyl)-2, 2′-bithiophene](PTOPT) was studied. Devices are prepared in a sandwich-type structure of the form Al/PTOPT/PEDOT:PSS/ITO. The diodes showed good rectification needed for the PV cell. The symmetric nature of the semilogarithmic J–V plot under dark and low temperature reveals that there is a unipolar charge injection in both sides of the electrodes. Based on the space charge limited region J–V data, it was possible to study the electric field dependence of the hole transport, which enable us to derive important parameters such as the zero field mobility (μo) and the field activation factor (γ).

The electron time decay in an afterglow following a short pulsed d.c. discharge in CO has been investigated using microwave diagnostic techniques. The gas was heated to an average temperature of 775 °K. Two-body electron-ion recombination and ambipolar diffusion were found to be the only important electron removal mechanisms present in the pressure interval [Formula: see text] Torr with the rate constants αr = 3.9 × 10−7 cm3 s−1 and Dap0 = 372 cm2 s−1 Torr respectively. If we postulate a T−γ dependence for αr, comparison with room temperature results yields γ = 0.57. The diffusion coefficient appears to increase strongly with temperature based upon an estimated zero field mobility for CO+in CO at 273 °K found in the literature.

Reduced Mobility

A drift tube-mass spectrometer system employing Bradbury-Nielsen shutters has been used to measure the mobility of Li + ions in He at 294 and 80 K and Li + ions in Ar at 294 K. The E/N range used was 3 to 80 Td (1 Td == 10 - 21 Y cm2). The zero field reduced mobility for Li + in He was found to be 22�81�0�11 cm2 y-1 s-I at 294 K and 19�64�0�29 cm2 y-1 s-I at 80 K. The value for Li+ in Ar at 294 K is 4�66�0�22 cm2 y-1 s-I. The reduced zero field mobility for the cluster ion Li +. He in He at 80 K and low values of E/ N was found to be 14�84 � 0�22 cm2 y -I s - I. The equilibrium constant for the formation and dissociation of Li + . Ar cluster ions at 294 K was obtained by fitting to the variation of the measured mobility with gas number density at low E/N values. The value obtained, corresponding to thermal equilibrium at 294 K, was (4�0.5)xlO- 19 cm3 .

Hopping Model

Some aspects of the mobility of excess electrons in liquid hydrocarbons are discussed. Certain salient features of the experimental data on high-field mobility in ethane–methane mixtures are explained in terms of a hopping model, in which disorder plays an important role. The disorder is compositional, like that in a binary alloy, and enters the model in the form of two distinct jump distances for hopping motion. It is shown that decreasing the coherence length for a quasi-free electron increases the binding energy of a localized electron and hence affects the activation energy and rate of hopping. The effects of temperature and impurity concentration for high-mobility liquids are shown to be consistent with a scattering model.

Momentum Transfer Cross Section

The zero-field mobility of electrons in dry and humid air at 294 K has been studied with drift tube techniques. For air containing 1.5 % water vapour (50 % relative humidity) the zero-field mobility was found to be 8.4 � 0.2 X 105 cm s−l Td−l. The zero-field mobility of electrons in dry air (4.7 � 0.2 x 106 cm s−l Td−l) was deduced from measurements in which small quantities of CO2 Were added to reduce the electron energy. It is estimated that the momentum transfer cross section for electron–oxygen collisions, at near thermal energies, is at least four times smaller than it is for electron–nitrogen collisions.

Field Strengths

Addition of nonelectronegative molecules (n-alkanes, alkenes, CO, CO2) to liquid argon, krypton, and xenon influences the drift velocity of excess electrons in an electric field. At high field strengths (104–105 V cm−1), where the electrons have mean energies exceeding kT, inelastic collisions with solute molecules lead to an increase of the drift velocity above the value of the pure solvent. Analysis of this effect yields the energy dependent product of collision cross section and mean fractional energy loss per collision.At low field strengths a decrease of the low field mobility with increasing solute concentration is observed from which the cross section for momentum transfer could be deduced. The influence of solutes on the low field mobility was also found in tetramethylsilane.
