Abstract: | The dynamical process of charge injection from metal electrode to a
nondegenerate polymer in a metal/polythiophene (PT)/metal structure
has been investigated by using a nonadiabatic dynamic approach. It
is found that the injected charges form wave packets due to the
strong electron-lattice interaction in PT. We demonstrate that the
dynamical formation of the wave packet sensitively depends on the
strength of applied voltage, the electric field, and the contact
between PT and electrode. At a strength of the electric field more
than $3.0\times 10^{4}$\,V/cm, the carriers can be ejected from the
PT into the right electrode. At an electric field more than
$3.0\times 10^{5}$\,V/cm, the wave packet cannot form while it moves
rapidly to the right PT/metal interface. It is shown that the
ejected quantity of charge is noninteger. |
