Popis: Results of a combined experimental and modeling study of electron transport in a blue-emitting polyfluorene-based copolymer in sandwich-type devices are presented. We show how, for wide temperature and layer thickness ranges, an accurate and internally consistent drift-diffusion model description of the voltage-dependent current density can be obtained. We employ an adapted form of the ``extended Gaussian disorder model,'' within which the density of states (DOS) is described as a superposition of a Gaussian DOS and an exponential DOS (``trap states''), characterized by only a small set of physically meaningful parameters. A comparison is made with the hole mobility reported for related polymers.
