Investigation of Transport in OECTs with Electrochemical Strain Wave Microscopy. [PDF]
SmallElectrochemical strain waves (ESWs) are generated in mixed conductors by alternating charge injection at a contacting electrode. They propagate into the device channel through combined charge transport and swelling. AFM experiments map the local amplitude and phase of ESWs in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), providing quantitative insight ...
