Abstract

We have studied charge transport in thin film of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) by measuring polymeric field-effect transistors and Schottky diodes under hydrostatic pressure. The field-effect mobility and conductivity were found to increase with increasing pressure below 2 kbar saturating above 2 kbar to a value of about 1.5–2.0 times the ambient pressure value. A roughly similar increase in the forward biased diode current was observed. The estimated compressibilities are in reasonable agreement with the results of other recent studies.
