Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biopolymer has been emerging as a promising material for photonic applications. As many optoelectronic devices rely on carrier transportation to achieve desired functionality, carrier mobility is important for the exploitation of these biopolymer-based materials for practical implementation. In this study, we present the mobility measurement by employing time-of-flight technique and characterize the current-voltage (I-V) properties based on DNA-surfactant complexes. An additional NPB layer was introduced in the fabricated structure to serve as a charge generation layer (CGL). The dependency of hole mobility with respect to the applied electric field was characterized and a linear correlation was exhibited. Hole transport was found to be dispersive, indicating a high degree energetic disorder in these DNA-surfactant complexes. The characterization results show promises for the employment of DNA complexes in the applications of organic light-emitting devices and organic field-effect transistors.
