Conjugated organic semiconductors have been submitted to various electrical
measurement techniques in order to reveal information about shallow levels
and deep traps in the forbidden gap. The materials consisted of poly[2-met
hoxy, 5 ethyl (2' hexyloxy) paraphenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV), poly(3-methyl
thiophene) (PMeT), and alpha-sexithienyl (alpha T6) and the employed techni
ques were IV, CV, admittance spectroscopy, TSC, capacitance and current tra
nsients. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
