Title: Charge-Retraction Time-of-Flight Measurement for Organic Charge Transport Materials

Journal Article · · Applied Physics Letters
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2798592· OSTI ID:918049

This describes an all-electrical technique, charge-retraction time-of-flight (CR-TOF), to measure charge carrier mobility through an organic layer. Carriers are injected and accumulated at a blocking interface, then retracted. The retraction current transient is nearly indistinguishable from a traditional time-of-flight photocurrent. The CR-TOF technique is validated by measurement of the hole mobility of two well-known compounds, 4,4',4"-tris[N-(3-methylphenyl)-N-phenylamino]triphenylamine and 4,4'-bis[N-1-napthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl, utilizing 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-benzene as a hole-blocking layer.
