Abstract

A brief review is presented of the concepts required to describe the dynamics of charge injected into “semiconducting” Van der Waals organic solids. Analysis of experimental photoemission spectra reveals that photoinjected holes behave like radical cations localized on the individual molecular moities which comprise the solid. Examination of measured drift mobilities, especially from naphthalene, suggest that transport in extended energy band states may occur at low temperature (T≲100 K) but that phonon-assisted hopping between localized states occurs at higher temperatures.
