Parametrization of the Charge-Carrier Mobility in Organic Disordered Semiconductors. APAE against EGDM

An appropriately parameterized compact analytical equation (APAE) is suggested to account for charge carrier mobility in organic disordered semiconductors (ODSs). This equation correctly reproduces the effects of temperature $T$, carrier concentration $n$, and electric field $F$ on the carrier mobility $\mu(T,F,n)$, as evidenced by comparison with analytical theories and Monte Carlo simulations. The set of material parameters responsible for charge transport is proven to be at varience to those used in the so-called extended Gaussian disorder model (EGDM) approach, which is widely exploited in commercially distributed device--simulation algorithms. While EGDM is only valid for cubic lattices with a specific choice of parameters, APAE describes charge transport in systems with spatial disorder in a wide range of parameters. APAE is user-friendly and, thus, suitable for incorporation into device-simulation algorithms.

Comment on "Interplay of Structural and Optoelectronic Properties in Formamidinium Mixed Tin-Lead Triiodide Perovskites"

Studying optoelectronic properties in FAPb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$I$_3$ perovskites as a function of the lead:tin content, Parrott et al. observed the broadest luminescence linewidth and the largest luminescence Stokes shift in mixed compositions with Sn $ < 25$% and with $> 0.85$%. Since the largest effects of alloy disorder were expected for the 50:50 composition, it was concluded that the revealed disorder effects might arise from extrinsic factors that can be eliminated upon further crystal growth optimization. This comment shows that the largest effects of alloy disorder for perfectly random fluctuations in FAPb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$I$_3$ perovskite are, in fact, expected for $x < 0.25$ and for $x > 0.85$. Therefore, further crystal growth optimization is futile.
