Bimolecular recombination of excess charge carriers in polymers

Bimolecular recombination of excess charge carriers in polymers was theoret ically analyzed in terms of the Rose-Fowler-Vaisberg model. Used in compute r-assisted numerical calculations were the model parameters determined prev iously for poly (N-vinylcarbazole), polystyrene, and polyethylene terephtha late) by measuring their radiation-induced conductivity. The obtained resul ts make it possible to choose irradiation conditions that provide the small signal regime used in laboratory tests to determine model parameters for p olymers of interest.
