研究目的
Investigating the Hall voltage and mobility characterization in semimetallic polymers, specifically poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) systems, to understand the transport mechanisms influenced by topological and thermal disorder.
研究成果
The study demonstrated stable Hall voltages in semimetallic conducting polymers, enabling the derivation of temperature-dependent band mobilities and carrier concentrations using an organic phase model. The results highlighted the significant electron coherence across polymer chains, leading to comparatively high mobilities, especially in PEDOT:TfO systems. This approach provides a pathway to interpret the Hall-effect in conducting polymers and related disordered semiconductors.
研究不足
The study was limited by the experimental setup's inability to perform ac-modulation below 32 K due to Eddy current heating of the substrate holder. Additionally, the organic phase model's assumptions may not fully capture all aspects of disorder in molecular semiconductors.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized ac-Hall measurements with a lock-in amplifier to resolve Hall voltages in semimetallic polymers across a temperature range from room temperature to 32 K. An organic random phase model was applied to evaluate the results, accounting for tail states and thermal disorder.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Three representative semimetallic PEDOT systems were studied, including PEDOT:PSS with DMSO co-solvent additive and PEDOT:TfO treated with trifluoromethylsulfonic acid.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A van der Pauw Hall specimen was used for measurements, with a magnetic ac-field of 0.625 T root mean square amplitude modulated at 100 mHz. The setup included a LakeShore Hall Measurement System 8400 and Quantum Design DynaCool PPMS for resistivity and ac-Hall characterization.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The ac-Hall technique was applied from 32 K up to 300 K, with a dc-current of 1 mA across the sample specimen. The Hall voltage was measured using a lock-in amplifier, with statistical evaluation for accuracy.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The Hall constants and mobilities were derived from the data, with the organic phase model used to estimate band mobilities by considering correction factors for disorder screening.
