Researchers from TU Dresden investigate the charge and thermoelectric transport in modulation-doped large-area rubrene thin-film crystals with different crystal phases, moving closer towards highly efficient organic thermoelectric devices.
New academic paper from TU Dresden.
Abstract “We investigate the charge and thermoelectric transport in modulation-doped large-area rubrene thin-film crystals with different crystal phases. We show that modulation doping allows achieving superior doping efficiencies even for high doping densities, when conventional bulk doping runs into the reserve regime. Modulation-doped orthorhombic rubrene achieves much improved thermoelectric power factors, exceeding 20 μW m−1 K−2 at 80°C. Theoretical studies give insight into the energy landscape of the heterostructures and its influence on qualitative trends of the Seebeck coefficient. Our results show that modulation doping together with high-mobility crystalline organic semiconductor films is a previously unexplored strategy for achieving high-performance organic thermoelectrics.”
