Dear all,
I have right now a problem with measuring the charge mobility of different polymers. I have built different types of thin layers OLEDs using different thickness types of polymers. In order to validate my results, I was using a testing model where I have a 3 layer device: ITO/polymer under test/Au. Since I want to characterize each different polymer with a specific layer thickness, I used this model to measure the Voltage/Current response. Unfortunately, as a result, I got a resistance response, instead of an expected diode curve. I am not sure the reasons why, I am not sure if this method is only valid for polymer thicknesses above 30 nm since some of my samples are 10 or even 9 nm. Another reason, that I am guessing, is that maybe I have measured too fast since I used an automated source that was taking a measurement every 25 mV.
Last but not least, I could measure the polymer-diode curve when I have a sample that contains more than one hole transport layer or electron transport layer. The problem, in this case, comes due to the calculation of the charge mobility. Since I am using the Mott-Guerney law and the coefficient of specific permittivity is exclusive for every single material. Is it possible to add or multiply the permittivity coefficients in order to calculate the mobility for a mix of multiple polymers?
I would like to thank and appreciate all your comments in advance.
Best regards,
