✦ Synopsis

Probabilistic interpretation of transition from the dispersive transport regime to the quasi-Gaussian one in disordered semiconductors is given in terms of truncated Lévy distributions. Corresponding transport equations with fractional order derivatives are derived. We discuss physical causes leading to truncated waiting time distributions in the process and describe influence of truncation on carrier packet form, transient current curves and frequency dependence of conductivity. Theoretical results are in a good agreement with experimental facts.

The article is devoted to theoretical description of charge carrier transport in disordered semiconductors. The main idea of the approach lies in the use of fractional calculus. The physical reasons of introducing fractional derivatives in semiconductor theory are discussed, the process of derivatio

The Lévy, jumping process, defined in terms of the jumping size distribution and the waiting time distribution, is considered. The jumping rate depends on the process value. The fractional diffusion equation, which contains the variable diffusion coefficient, is solved in the diffusion limit. That s
