Effective Temperature and Universal Conductivity Scaling in Organic Semiconductors.

ABSTRACT: We investigate the scalability of the temperature- and electric field-dependence of the conductivity of disordered organic semiconductors to 'universal' curves by two different but commonly employed methods; by so-called universal scaling and by using the effective temperature concept. Experimentally both scaling methods were found to be equally applicable to the out-of-plane charge transport in

The experimentally observed scaling behavior can be reproduced by a numerical nearest-neighbor hopping model, accounting for the Coulomb interaction, the high charge carrier concentration and the energetic disorder.
