Abstract

Based upon the concept of charge carrier hopping within a disordered organic solid a formalism for the temperature and field assisted charge injection from an electrode into an organic dielectric has been developed. Both back flow of charges towards the injecting electrode and the dependence of the injection efficiency upon the charge carrier mobility has implicitly been taken care of. Experimental results for electrode limited injection are in good agreement with the theory.
