We analyze the carrier transit behavior in poly[N-9'-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT), which has been reported as a donor material for efficient bulk hetero junction photovolatic devices. The transfer and transient carrier mobilities in the PCDTBT thin films have been measured and analyzed. The transfer mobility has been measured by the transfer curve of the OFET, whereas, the transient mobility is recorded using a time-resolved electric-field-induced optical second-harmonic-generation (TRM-SHG) technique. Using TRM-SHG technique, the dynamic motion of the charge carriers in the PCDTBT thin films has been directly visualized. We anticipate that the analysis of the carrier motion by TRM-SHG, will be effective …
