For a thin layer of Alq3 (d<180 nm), it is found that tdis affected by both the charging effect and carrier transit time through the Alq3 layer. For a thicker layer of Alq3 (d>200 nm), td approaches the intrinsic electron transit time through Alq3 .

In a monopolar and single-layer configuration, the carrier transit time is shorter than in the absence of space-charge effects due to the enhancement of the electric field at the leading edge of the carrier packet.

• The energy of each site is distributed in accordance with the Gaussian distribution
• Energies of adjacent sites are uncorrelated and motion between sites is Markovian (no phase memory)

•σ: The width of the DOS. Random distribution of both permanent and van der Waals dipoles lead to local fluctuations in electric potential Æincrease σby an amount proportional to the square root of the dipole concentration and to the strength of the dipole moment. Æreduce the carrier mobility. The smaller dipolar interaction is better for the carrier transport.
•Σ: The degree of positional disorder. Amorphous morphology of molecular solids or doped polymers lead to the variation in the intermolecular distances.
