- Abstract
- Effects of intermolecular interactions on the occupied electronic structure of amorphous solid of a carbazole-based material were investigated under an assumption that the organic solid consists of randomly oriented assemblies of dimers. The electronic energy states were calculated on the ensemble of large number of random dimers, of which geometries are relaxed using semiempirical van der Waals density functional theory. Intermolecular interactions result in splitting of energy level, and further disorders occur by aggregation of randomly orientated molecules. As a result, frontier occupied energy states can be represented by a superposition of Gaussian distributions, including (i) a main distribution with full width at half maximum of 80-110 meV, depending on the methods of relaxation and (ii) shoulders separated from the center of the main distribution with a value as large as 150 meV. A possible origin for the appearance of these shoulders was ascribed to the presence of molecular assemblies consisting of more tightly bound dimers compared with the others.
