Disorder-Controlled Charge Transport

This lecture covers the criteria for polaronic transport and disorder-controlled transport in materials, where incoherent transport prevails due to dynamic or static disorder dominating over interaction energies. It discusses charge transfer between molecules with unsymmetric transport steps, random walk transport, and models like Gaussian Disorder Model and Correlated Disorder Model. The lecture also explores the microscopic view of disorder-controlled charge transport, temperature dependence, transport at high charge densities, and the superposition of static and dynamic disorder leading to a switch in transport mechanisms. Additionally, it touches on Variable Range Hopping (VRH), Multiple Trap and Release (MTR) Model, and the concept of band edge disorder.
