According to ref 3, in the three-dimensional case the ratio of the diffusion coefficient for the holes (that move by incoherent hopping) and their mobility D/μdc = ξhkBT/e can somewhat exceed the Nernst - Einstein relation kBT/e. Here ξh ≥ 1 reflects the fact that with the increase of the root mean square fluctuations, U, of the electrostatic potential in a material, the hopping conductivity of the holes, μdc, decreases faster than their diffusion coefficient D. In particular, at low temperatures (U ≫. kBT) the ratioD/μh depends on the bandwidth, U, of the band of quasilocalized states and on the degree to which it is filled with electrons, but only weakly depends on T. This conclusion correlates with the results of Monte Carlo simulations of the De/μe dependence on temperatute for electrons at the tail of the conduction band density of states in crystals, ref 25. Also, according to ref 13, in the presence of structural disorder eq 3 is not valid, and the charge carrier mobility must be calculated using eq 2 and the mean squared displacement {r2(t)} obtained from numerical simulations.
