Abstract

The efficiency of microelectronic devices depends greatly on the charge transport performance of organic semiconductors. The purpose of this work is to analyze the effect of donor-acceptor (D-A) cocrystals on the charge transport characteristics of organic semiconductors using the Marcus theory of electron transfer combined with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. For two different cocrystals, sesquikis (benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarbonitrile) 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(pyren-1-yl)prop-2-eneni-trile(PCNTC-O) and ben-zene-1,2,4,5-tetracarbonitrile 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(pyren-1-yl)pr-op-2-enenitrile(PCNTC-R) cocrystals, were investigated using 2-(benzo[d]-thiazol-2-yl)-3-(pyren-1-yl)acrylonitrile (Py-BZTCN) as the donor and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) as the acceptor mixed at 1:2 and 1:1 ratios, respectively. According to our calculations, PCNTC-O and PCNTC-R both exhibit bipolar charge transport behaviour with mobilities electron/hole attaining 0.0104/0.1252 and 0.0241/0.0598 cm2/Vs, respectively.
