Concentration effects on the thermally-activated transport of polarons in conducting polymers
The impact of the polaron concentration on the temperature-mediated charge transport in one-dimensional organic materials is studied. Within the scope of a tight-binding description, our findings reveal that high-temperature diffusivity tends to increase as polaron concentration increases. Moreover, the activation energy for the polaron transport also increases with polaron concentration. Importantly, the polaron diffusivity follows an Arrhenius-like behavior with low activation energy.
