Charge transport in organic photovoltaic materials

Today I am chairing a session on charge transport at an I2CAM Exploratory Workshop, Complex Interactions and Mechanisms in Organic Photovoltaics being held here at UQ.
I have written quite a few posts on this topic before. I believe some of the key questions concerning charge transport in molecular materials are:
  • What is the mechanism of charge transport?
  • What is the origin of the observed electric field dependent mobility?
  • What determines the relative magnitude of electron and hole mobilities?
  • How does mobility depend on the intermolecular separation and relative orientation?
  • Would thermopower measurements be helpful in determining the charge transport mechanism?

Why is the state of universities such an emotional issue for me?

It all about values! Universities have changed dramatically over the course of my lifetime. Australian universities are receiving increasing...
