Abstract
We present a first-principle numerical study of charge transport in a realistic two-dimensional tight-binding model of organic molecular semiconductors. We use the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm to simulate the full quantum dynamics of phonons and either a single or multiple charge carriers without any tunable parameters. We introduce a number of algorithmic improvements, including efficient Metropolis updates for phonon fields based on analytic insights, which lead to negligible autocorrelation times and allow to reach sub-permille precisions at small computational cost of O(1) CPU-hour. Our simulations produce charge mobility estimates that are in good agreement with experiment and that also justify the phenomenological Transient Localisation approach.
