Fig.1(a) is a schematic diagram of the TOF set-up, and Fig.1 (b) is the typical TOF transient measured for a 10 μm thick NPB film sandwiched between an ultrathin Al cathode and an ITO anode. From the constant current plateau in the TOF measurement, as shown in Fig.1(b), the transit time thus obtained for the NPB sample is 9 μs. (a) Calculate the carrier mobility in NPB layer.
