Modelling charge transport in organic semiconductors — •Denis Andrienko — MPI for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany

The role of material morphology on charge carrier mobility in partially disordered organic semiconductors is discussed for several classes of materials: derivatives of hexabenzocoronenes,¹ perylenediimides,² triangularly shaped polyaromatic hydrocarbons,³ Alq3,⁴ polypyrrole and a variety of organic crystals. Simulations are performed using a package developed by Imperial College, London and MPI for Polymer Research, Mainz (www.votca.org⁵). This package combines: quantum chemical methods for the calculation of molecular electronic structures and reorganization energies; molecular dynamics and systematic coarse-graining approaches for simulation of self-assembly and relative positions and orientations of molecules on large scales; kinetic Monte Carlo and master equation for studies of charge transport.
