Abstract

We investigated the doping effects of $ReO_3$ in different p-type organic semiconductors on the formation of charge transfer complexes and the electrical conductivity by comparing the absorption in ultraviolet-visible-nearinfrared (UV-Vis-NIR) and the current density-voltage characteristics of the hole only devices, respectively. The large energy difference between the HOMO level of host and Fermi energy level of dopant (${\Delta}E$=$E_{HOHO,host}$ - $E_{F,dopant}$) gives higher concentration of CT complexes and enhanced conductivity.
