摘要
From time-resolved luminescence measurements it is demonstrated that the background concentration of excitonquenching defects in a range of organic semiconductors is the same as their electron-trap concentration. This observation suggests that the exciton-quenching defects and the electron traps share the same origin. The typical exciton diffusion length of 5-8 nm for organic semiconductors is therefore governed by the distance between the universal electron traps. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
