Charge Carrier Mobility: Unraveling Unprecedented Charge Carrier Mobility through Structure Property Relationship of Four Isomers of Didodecyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b ][1]benzothiophene (Adv. Mater. 33/2016)

Could molecular semiconductors one day compete with their inorganic counterparts? On page 7106, S. Seki, Y. H. Geerts and co-workers unravel, by field-induced time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements, an unprecedentedly high average interfacial mobility of 170 cm2 V−1 s−1 for 2,7-didodecyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene over short length- and time-scales. Approaching for the first time the hole mobility in single-crystalline silicon, these results hold great promise for the field of organic electronics.
