Disorder-Controlled Charge Transport

This lecture covers the concepts of disorder-controlled transport, polaronic transport, and the influence of dynamic and static disorder on charge carriers in materials. It discusses the criteria for different types of transport mechanisms, such as incoherent transport, polaronic transport, and disorder-controlled transport. The lecture also delves into models like the Gaussian Disorder Model and the Correlated Disorder Model to explain the transport behavior in materials with disorder. Additionally, it explores the temperature dependence of disorder-controlled transport, the impact of high charge densities on transport, and the transition from disorder-controlled to polaronic transport. The lecture concludes with discussions on Variable Range Hopping (VRH), the Multiple Trap and Release (MTR) Model, and their relevance in understanding charge transport in materials.
