Dispersive transport

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003313",
  "term": "Dispersive transport",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of charge carrier transport in disordered materials, such as amorphous polymers, where the mobility of charge carriers is time-dependent and decreases with increasing time. This behavior arises from a broad distribution of hopping times or trap depths. It is often characterized by a power-law decay of current.",
