Abstract

The photocurrent for poly(4-(dimethylamino)benzyl acrylate) (PDAA) photorefractive composites with (4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)methanol (TPAOH) photoconductive plasticizers was measured to be two orders of magnitude higher than that obtained with (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)diphenylamine (TAA) photoconductive plasticizers. In this study, to determine the reason for the large difference in the photocurrent measured for PDAA photorefractive composites containing two different photoconductive plasticizers of TPAOH and TAA, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level identical to the ionization potential (Ip) and the width of the density of states (DOS) were evaluated using photoelectron yield spectroscopy, and the transient photocurrent was analyzed using a two-trap model. The estimated hole mobility was also rationalized using a Bässler formalism together with the energetic disorder of the width of the DOS and the positional disorder of the scattering situation for carrier hopping.
