ABSTRACTIn this paper we study the density of states in n-type N,N’-ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide organic semiconductor using two different methods. The first one is based on the temperature dependence of the channel conductance in field-effect transistors. The second one is based on the subgap optical absorption coefficient measured using the Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy technique. Both techniques allow estimating the distribution of localized states in the band gap of the semiconductor.

The distribution of occupied states in a-Si:H has been inferred by applying a new self- consisting iterative method to the absorption coefficient spectra. This procedure does not require any assumption about the localized states below the Fermi level, and provides a more accurate insight with respect to the simple derivative method. Numerical simulations have been made in order to probe the reliability of our method. The optical spectra have been obtained by means of Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy (PDS) and Constant Photocurrent Method (CPM); the comparison between the results as obtained by the two techniques suggests that different sensitivities to electronic transitions are involved; this can be used to infer information about the unoccupied defects.

AbstractCharge transport in poly(3-hexylthiophene) field effect transistors has been studied in a series of devices with channel lengths ranging from 3 μm down to 200 nm over a broad range of temperatures and gate voltages. We report gate-modulated highly nonlinear transport at temperatures below ∼200 K that is consistent in form with a Poole-Frenkel-like hopping mechanism in the space charge limited current regime. There is also consistency between this behavior and the hypothesis that density of localized states is strongly energy dependent. We also observe what appears to be a crossover from thermally activated to nonthermal hopping below 30 K.
