N2 - The space- and temperature-dependent electron distribution n(r,T) is essential for the theoretical description of the optoelectronic properties of disordered semiconductors. We present two powerful techniques to access n(r,T) without solving the Schrödinger equation. First, we derive the density for nondegenerate electrons by applying the Hamiltonian recursively to random wave functions (RWF). Second, we obtain a temperature-dependent effective potential from the application of a universal low-pass filter (ULF) to the random potential acting on the charge carriers in disordered media. Thereby, the full quantum-mechanical problem is reduced to the quasiclassical description of n(r,T) in an effective potential. We numerically verify both approaches by comparison with the exact quantum-mechanical solution. Both approaches prove superior to the widely used localization landscape theory (LLT) when we compare our approximate results for the charge carrier density and mobility at elevated temperatures obtained by RWF, ULF, and LLT with those from the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation.
