Generalized Einstein relation in disordered organic semiconductors: Influence of the acoustic phonons–charge carriers scattering
Abstract
In this work, we analyze the generalized Einstein relation for disordered organic semiconductors with a non-equilibrium Druyvesteyn-type distribution function. The Druyvesteyn behavior of hot electrons in a solid state is associated with the acoustic phonons–charge carriers scattering. Such a case has been experimentally demonstrated in electroluminescent inorganic rare–earth–doped zinc chalcogenides. Therefore, we can assume that, in a part of organic materials used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), we can also find the Druyvesteyn-type distribution of charge carriers under external electric fields. It looks that the electric-field-dependent diffusion coefficient, which is observed in the phonon-induced hopping electron transport, plays a key role here. The theoretical analysis of the Einstein relation shows that for lower concentrations of charge carriers, the diffusivity–mobility ratio (D/\mu) reaches a value lower than 1 (in kT/q units). The temperature dependencies of D/\mu are similar to the tendencies reported for the equilibrium conditions. The obtained satisfactory agreement between experimental results and calculations based on the Druyvesteyn-type distribution function confirms the usefulness of the presented model.
