Toolkit for microscopic charge/energy transport simulations in disordered organic semiconductors — Carl Poelking, Bjoern Baumeier, Pascal Kordt, Jeroen van der Holst, Anton Melnyk, Jens Wehner, and •Denis Andrienko — Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Ackermannweg 10, Mainz 55128, Germany

We present recent developments in the toolkit for charge and energy transport simulations in amorphous organic materials (VOTCA, www.votca.org) [1]. These include (i) interfaces to the GAUSSIAN, TURBOMOLE and NWCHEM packages to compute electronic couplings, internal energies and electrostatic multipoles (ii) the QM/MM scheme combined with the polarizable Thole model for evaluating energies of charged clusters embedded in a molecular environment (iii) the kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm for finite charge densities. The methods are illustrated by studying processes at a donor-acceptor interface of dicyanovinyl-substituted quaterthiophene/C60, a typical donor-acceptor pair used in small molecule organic solar cells [2].
