The dynamic disorder model for charge carrier transport in organic semiconductors has been extensively studied in recent years. Although it is successful on determining the value of bandlike mobility in the organic crystalline materials, the incoherent hopping, the typical transport characteristic in organic semiconductors, cannot be described. In this work, the decoherence process is taken into account via a phenomenological parameter, say decoherence time, and the projective and Monte Carlo method is applied for this model to determine the waiting time and thus the diffusion coefficient. We find the type of transport changes from bandlike to incoherent hopping with a sufficiently short decoherence time, which indicates the essential role of decoherence time in determining the type of transport in organics. We have also discussed the spatial extent of carriers for different decoherence time, and the transition from delocalization (carrier resides in about 10 molecules) to localization is observed. Based on the experimental results of spatial extent, we estimate the decoherence time in pentacene has the order of 1ps. Furthermore, the dependence of diffusion coefficient on decoherence time is also investigated, and corresponding experiments are discussed.
