Abstract

The temperature dependence of exciton diffusion in a small-molecule organic semiconductor processed with and without additive is investigated. As-cast and 1,8-diiodooctane-processed films yield exciton diffusion lengths of 6.8 and 4.9 nm, respectively. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, it is shown that processing with 1,8-diiodooctane increases the excitonic trap density, which directly reduces the exciton diffusion length.
