Abstract
The general problems of the bimolecular recombination of charge carriers in molecularly doped polycarbonate are discussed. Experimental studies are performed via the transient radiation-induced conductivity method. Transient-current curves are numerically calculated via the multiple trapping model. The calculated and experimental curves are in good agreement. It is shown that the studied molecularly doped polymer undergoes bimolecular recombination via the Langevin mechanism.
