We have synthesized, crystallized and studied the structural and electric transport properties of organic molecular crystals based on a rubrene derivative with {em t}-butyl sidegroups at the 5,11 positions. Two crystalline modifications are observed: one (A) distinct from that of rubrene with larger spacings between the naphtacene backbones, the other (B) with a in-plane structure presumably very similar compared to rubrene. The electric transport properties reflect the different structures: in the latter phase (B) the in-plane hole mobility of 12 cm$^2$/Vs measured on single crystal FETs is just as high as in rubrene crystals, while in the A phase no field-effect could be measured. The high crystal quality, studied in detail for B, reflects itself in the density of gap states: The deep-level trap density as low as $10^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$ eV$^{-1}$ has been measured, and an exponential band tail with a characteristic energy of 22 meV is observed. The bulk mobility perpendicular to the molecular planes is estimated to be of order of $10^{-3}$ -- $10^{-1}$ cm$^2$/Vs.

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors operate over a wide range of electron or hole density, controlled by the gate voltage. Here we calculate the mobility in semiconducting nanotubes as a function of carrier density and electric field, for different tube diameters and temperature. The low-field mobility is a non-monotonic function of carrier density, and varies by as much as a factor of 4 at room temperature. At low density, with increasing field the drift velocity reaches a maximum and then exhibits negative differential mobility, due to the non-parabolicity of the bandstructure. At a critical density $rho_csim$ 0.35-0.5 electrons/nm, the drift velocity saturates at around one third of the Fermi velocity. Above $rho_c$, the velocity increases with field strength with no apparent saturation.
The density of trap states in the bandgap of semiconducting organic single crystals has been measured quantitatively and with high energy resolution by means of the experimental method of temperature-dependent space-charge-limited-current spectroscopy (TD-SCLC). This spectroscopy has been applied to study bulk rubrene single crystals, which are shown by this technique to be of high chemical and structural quality. A density of deep trap states as low as ~ 10^{15} cm^{-3} is measured in the purest crystals, and the exponentially varying shallow trap density near the band edge could be identified (1 decade in the density of states per ~25 meV). Furthermore, we have induced and spectroscopically identified an oxygen related sharp hole bulk trap state at 0.27 eV above the valence band.
The formation of polarons due to the interaction between charge carriers and the crystal lattice has been proposed to have wide-ranging effects on charge carrier dynamics in lead--halide perovskites (LHPs). The hypothesis underlying many of those proposals is that charge carriers are protected from scattering by their incorporation into polarons. We test that hypothesis by deriving expressions for the rates of scattering of polarons by polar-optical and acoustic phonons, and ionised impurities, which we compute for electrons in the LHPs MAPbI$_{3}$ , MAPbBr$_{3}$ and CsPbI$_{3}$. We then use the ensemble Monte Carlo method to compute electron-polaron distribution functions which satisfy a Boltzmann equation incorporating the same three scattering mechanisms. By carrying out analogous calculations for band electrons and comparing their results to those for polarons, we conclude that polaron formation impacts charge-carrier scattering rates and mobilities to a limited degree in LHPs, contrary to claims in the recent literature.

We report on the temperature dependence of the mobility, $mu$, of the two-dimensional electron gas in a variable density AlGaN/GaN field effect transistor, with carrier densities ranging from 0.4$times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ to 3.0$times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ and a peak mobility of 80,000 cm$^{2}$/Vs. Between 20 K and 50 K we observe a linear dependence $mu_{ac}^{-1} = alpha$T indicating that acoustic phonon scattering dominates the temperature dependence of the mobility, with $alpha$ being a monotonically increasing function of decreasing 2D electron density. This behavior is contrary to predictions of scattering in a degenerate electron gas, but consistent with calculations which account for thermal broadening and the temperature dependence of the electron screening. Our data imply a deformation potential D = 12-15 eV.

We discovered that perovskite (Ba,La)SnO3 can have excellent carrier mobility even though its band gap is large. The Hall mobility of Ba0.98La0.02SnO3 crystals with the n-type carrier concentration of sim 8-10times10 19 cm-3 is found to be sim 103 cm2 V-1s-1 at room temperature, and the precise measurement of the band gap Delta of a BaSnO3 crystal shows Delta=4.05 eV, which is significantly larger than those of other transparent conductive oxides. The high mobility with a wide band gap indicates that (Ba,La)SnO3 is a promising candidate for transparent conductor applications and also epitaxial all-perovskite multilayer devices.
