The Impact of Molecular Polarization on the Electronic Properties of Molecular Semiconductors

Abstract

In a molecular semiconductor, the carrier is dressed with a polarization cloud that we treat as a quantum field of Frenkel excitons coupled to it. The consequences of the existence of this electronic polaron on the dynamics of an extra charge in a material like pentacene can thus be evaluated.
