Quadrupolar traps for charge carriers in the vicinity of lattice vacancies in pentacene crystals

Thermally stimulated current techniques have been used for a selective study of shallow electron and hole traps in pentacene crystals. Asymmetry, observed in electron and hole trapping, is interpreted as evidence for the existence of quadrupolar traps in the vicinity of lattice vacancies, theoretica...

Summary:Thermally stimulated current techniques have been used for a selective study of shallow electron and hole traps in pentacene crystals. Asymmetry, observed in electron and hole trapping, is interpreted as evidence for the existence of quadrupolar traps in the vicinity of lattice vacancies, theoretically predicted by Eisenstein and Munn.
