The relative current noise power spectral density ${\\cal S}(f)$ is constant in the {\\em ohmic} region, steeply increases at the {\\em trap-filling transition} region and decreases in the {\\em space-charge-limited-current} region. The {\\em noise peak} at the {\\em trap-filling transition} is accounted for within a {\\em continuum percolation model}. As the quasi-Fermi level crosses the trap level, intricate insulating paths nucleate within the ohmic matrix, determining the onset of non-equilibrium conditions at the interface between the insulating and conducting phase. The {\\em noise peak} is written in terms of the free and trapped charge carrier densities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2006-01-12T13:42:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "space-charge-limited current fluctuations", "organic semiconductors", "current noise power spectral density", "relative current noise power spectral", "noise peak" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
