Increasing interest is drawn on thin organic semiconductor films in opto-electronic devices. While for applications like field-effect transistors and photovoltaic cells highly ordered morphologies resulting in higher charge carrier mobilities are requested, for other purposes like organic light emitting diodes amorphous arrangement of the molecules is needed. Here lower mobilities increase the recombination rate leading to a higher photon yield. In such systems trap states can influence dramatically the luminescence in its intensity and spectral regime.
We will show recent results on amorphous films of a perylene dye with a rather high concentration of trap states. These trap states act as sinks for the excitons and leads therefore to a clear shift of the luminescence to the red compared to the monomer emission. Temperature depended and time resolved measurements give a clear hint for the population of the traps from the exciton band. Comparisons with previous electrical measurements lead us to the assumption, that these traps are also dominating the charge carrier mobility within the material.
