In the tilted smectic phases of terthiophenes, shear alignment macroscopically aligns the tilt direction of the director leading to a substantial in-plane anisotropy of charge carrier mobility in organic field effect transistor (OFET) experiments.

The pulse-radiolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity technique, “PR-TRMC”, has been used to determine the charge carrier mobility within columnar stacks of mesomorphic discotic porphyrins and phthalocyanines. The influences of temperature, morphology and variations in the primary molecular structure are demonstrated and discussed. Both the mesomorphic and conductive properties are shown to be dramatically influenced by subtle changes in the peripheral alkyl chain structure or the core-to-chain coupling element. Mobilities close to 1 cm2.V−1.s−1 are found in crystalline solids, and well in excess of 0.1 cm2.V−1.s−1 in columnar, liquid crystalline phases. These values which are even larger than those determined by PR-TRMC for conjugated polymers and similar to values found for electrons and holes in organic single crystals.

The patterned growth of crystalline rubrene films directly on electrodes is demonstrated. In addition, organic films with close packed and porous structures are locally achieved by controlling the electrode spaces, resulting in a two orders of magnitude difference in carrier mobility.

AbstractWe report on the extraction of carrier type, and mobility in semiconductor nanowires by adopting experimental nanowire field-effect transistor device data to a long channel MISFET device model. Numerous field-effect transistors were fabricated using n-InAs nanowires of a diameter of 50 nm as a channel. The I-V data of devices were analyzed at low to medium drain current in order to reduce the effect of extrinsic resistances. The gate capacitance is determined by an electro-static field simulation tool. The carrier mobility remains as the only parameter to fit experimental to modeled device data. The electron mobility in n-InAs nanowires is evaluated to µ = 13,000 cm2/Vs while for comparison n-ZnO nanowires exhibit a mobility of 800 cm2/Vs.
