A possible mechanism for the negative capacitance observed in organic
devices    [PDF]

X. Q. Wang, C. B. Cai

The mechanism of negative capacitance, e.g. inductance, induced by a sufficient electrical field in the organic device is investigated. The cations in organic bulk are proposed to be driven by the applied voltage and to accumulate at the interface, and further to generate the surface states or media states. These states result in a larger junction current through the device, indicating the negative capacitances which are simulated in three situations: impedance spectrum, capacitance measurement and current response. This simple kinetic model may be helpful to understand why the negative capacitance phenomenon is observed in various organic devices.
