Mixtures of the electron donor DBTTF and the acceptor HATCN form a charge transfer complex (CTC), which leads to the appearance of new optical absorption bands below the band gap of the two pristine materials and a significant enhancement of the electrical conductivity. We prepared thin films by co-evaporation through systematic variation of their mixing ratio from pure DBTTF to pure HATCN and measured the temperature-dependent conductivity as well as charge carrier concentration and mobility. Surprisingly, we found n-type behavior for all compositions, except pure DBTTF. This can be understood from the electronic structure of the mixtures through ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), which conclusively indicate that charge injection and transport occurs via the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the CTC. Furthermore, insight into the rich behavior of the electrical conductivity can be gained from morphological studies using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
