研究目的
To develop an order-N methodology for the quantitative evaluation of mobility in organic semiconductors using quantum dynamics based on density functional theory, focusing on the coupling between charge carriers and molecular vibrations.
研究成果
The presented order-N methodology enables quantitative evaluation of charge-carrier mobilities in organic semiconductors, showing good agreement with experimental results. The study highlights the importance of considering both inter- and intramolecular vibrations in understanding transport properties and provides a foundation for predicting the performance of various soft materials.
研究不足
The study focuses on organic semiconductors and may not be directly applicable to other types of materials. The computational cost of first-principles calculations and the complexity of accurately modeling electron-vibration coupling are potential limitations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a quantum dynamical approach based on first-principles calculations to evaluate the mobilities of charge carriers in organic semiconductors. The methodology includes the time-dependent wave-packet diffusion (TD-WPD) method for calculating diffusion constants.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Several organic semiconductors, including C8-BTBT, Ph-BTBT-C10, pentacene, DNTT, and naphthalene, are selected for the study. The crystal structures and vibrational modes of these materials are obtained from experimental data and theoretical calculations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilizes computational tools and software for density functional theory (DFT) calculations, normal-mode analysis, and quantum dynamical simulations. Specific equipment and materials are not detailed in the abstract.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The methodology involves calculating bare transfer integrals from crystal structures, evaluating normal vibrational modes, and constructing a time-dependent Hamiltonian for charge carriers coupled with molecular vibrations. The diffusion constant is then calculated using the TD-WPD method, and the mobility is derived from the Einstein relation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes comparing calculated mobilities with experimental results, investigating temperature dependence, and identifying dominant vibrational modes affecting transport properties.
