The simplest model of charge transport in delocalized bands is the Drude model, which assumes the carriers are free to move under the inhuence of an applied electric held, but subject to collisional damping forces. Note that the scattering centers are not the nuclei of the background material, but rather phonons (lattice vibrahons) or impurities. A statistical equahon for estimahng the mean drift velocity of the carriers in the direction of the electric held may be written as... 

Likewise, the perpendicular conductivity decreases with increasing substrate temperature, indicating that the conditions used for film deposition allow a further purification of the molecular material which should signiricantly improve its electrical properties. Importantly, the anisotropy of conductivity increases with substrate temperature in agreement with the proposed model of charge transport along the...

Abstract This topic reviews random walk Monte Carlo simulation models of charge transport in DSSC. The main electrmi transport approaches used are covered. Monte Carlo methods and results are explained, addressing the continuous time random walk model developed for transport in disordered materials in the context of the large number of trap states present in the electron transporting material. Multiple timescale MC models developed to look at the morphology dependence of electron transport are described. The concluding section looks at future applications of these methods and the related MC models for polymer blend cells.

A model of charge transport that is able to describe the temperature dependence of the electrical dc conductivity c (T) of freshly-prepared samples between 400 mK and 300 K has to be compatible with the following experimental results ... 

In the following chapter, only the range T > 0.4 K shall be discussed. The prerequisites listed in the previous chapter for a model of charge transport that could explain the experimental data eliminate most of the conventional models. 

In this case, the intercalation process is essentially controlled by the Li concentration in the host lattice. As shown in Fig. 13.7b the thermodynamic factor, W, varies linearly with the degree of Li intercalation from 10 to 820 in the range 0.05 < X < 1.5. This x-dependence of W can be associated with the large decrease of the electronic mobility in Li MoOs film. Considering that M0O3 films are oxygen-deficient materials, the model of charge transport in internal defect compounds can be applied [14—18], Defects are Li interstitials, Li, and conductimi electrons, e. It has been shown [17] that, in a solid solution where no internal defect reactions... 

On the other hand, transport theory has been the last update (up to now) of the pseudolattice theory of concentrated electrolyte solutions and IL mixtures (Varela et al, 2010). In this latter reference a statistical mechanical pseudolattice model of charge transport in ionic fluid-solvent mixtures was introduced, and the predictions were compwed with data of the electric conductivity of aqueous electrolyte solutions, IL-water and IL-ethanol... 

The realistic model of charge transport in semiconducting polymer materials should take into account the positional and energetic disorders. Such a situation can be well described by the transport models which assume a mechanism of transitions in the profiles of the potential energy with wells or barriers of random energy. ...
