33. Note that the prior treatments of the exponential bandtail model are mostly concerned with carrier mobilities and not with diffusion. The generalized Einstein relation suggests that mobilities and diffusion coefficients are simply proportional even including trapping effects; recent references include (a) Gu, Q.; Schiff, E. A.; Grebner, S.; Wang, F.; Schwarz, R. Phys. Rev. Lett. 1996, 76, 3196.
