Short range order model is commonly used to explain the charge transport property of disordered organic semiconductors.However,its validity is not yet studied.In this paper,the hole and electron mobilities of a bipolar material,N,N'-dicarbazolyl-1,4dimethene-benzene(DCB),were measured through time of flight method.The hole and electron mobilities of DCB based on the crystalline structure were calculated.In order to investigate the short range order model,the ratios of charge mobilities at zero electric field of holes to electrons were calculated.The results showed that this model cannot fully explain our case.The reason was discussed in detail,and a correction method was proposed.We showed that using the short range order model without preconditions to explain the charge transport property of amorphous materials may lead to deviations,which is often neglected in the past.

Transparent,smooth and dense zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin films have been successfully produced by using a new precursor solution,zinc acetate and tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate mixed with 2-ethanolamine in methoxyethanol.The ZTO films have been prepared by spin-coating,followed by thermal treatment in oxygen atmosphere.The morphology,composition,crystallinity and band gap energy (Eg) of the ZTO thin films have been characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM),Atomic Emission Spectrometry (AES),X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis spectrophotometry.The conductivity of ZTO is about 9.8×10-9 S/cm,as estimated from the current-voltage (I-V) curve.The effect of the thermal treatment process on the morphology of ZTO thin films is also discussed.

The hole and electron mobilities of the amorphous films of the organic semiconductor 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) at different electric fields were measured through the time of flight (TOF) method. Based on its crystalline structure, the hole and electron mobilities of CBP were calculated. A detailed comparison between experimental and theoretical results is necessary for further understanding its charge transport properties. In order to do this, charge mobilities at zero electric field, μ(0), were deduced from experimental data as a link between experimental and theoretical data. It was found that the electron transport of CBP is less affected by traps compared with its hole transport. This unusual phenomenon can be understood through the distributions of frontier molecular orbitals. We showed that designing materials with frontier molecular orbitals localized at the center of the molecule has the potency to reduce the influence of traps on charge transport and provide new insights into designing high mobility charge transport materials.
