Abstract
In this paper, we formulate a charge-carrier mobility model for disordered organic semiconductors based on both the
Arrhenius and non-Arrhenius temperature dependence. This model can correctly reproduce the effects of temperature,
electric field, and carrier concentration on the carrier mobility, and can rather well fit the numerical solution of the master
equation at both the low carrier density and high carrier density, the latter of which cannot be well described using the
extended Gaussian disorder model (EGDM). Furthermore, experimental current-voltage characteristics in devices based on
organic semiconductors are also excellently reproduced by using this mobility model. These results further suggest that a
temperature dependence of mobility given by the non-Arrhenius relation is suitable for the low carrier density and small
energetic disorder limitation, and the high carrier density and large energetic disorder limitation gives the Arrhenius relation.
