← ScienceWhich mechanism limits carrier mobility in organic molecular semiconductors under intense illumination?
A)Polaron formation increasing effective mass✓
B)Band gap widening decreasing conductivity
C)Surface recombination reducing carrier lifetime
D)Auger scattering depleting mobile carriers
💡 Explanation
Under intense illumination, organic molecular semiconductors experience polaron formation because excess charge carriers distort the lattice, creating localized states with stronger electron-phonon interactions effectively increasing the carrier's mass, which then limits mobility. Therefore polaron formation limits motility rather than gap widening, recombination or scattering which require different interaction processes.
