Growth and electronic transport in 9,10-diphenylanthracene single crystals - An organic semiconductor of high electron and hole mobility

Electron and hole transport is demonstrated on bulk crystals of the organic serniconductor 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA). The high mobilities at room E 2 temperature for electrons (ca. 13 cm(2) Vs(-1)) and holes (ca. 3.7 cm(2) VS-1) make DPA a prominent candidate for device E 6 applications. The hole mobility follows a bandlike transport at high temperatures (200K-400K) and a saturation behavior in the low-temperature regime (see figure), the latter being discussed in the context of various transport models.
