\section{Workflow}
\label{sec:wokflow}

A typical workflow of charge transport simulations is depicted in \fig{workflow}. The first step is the simulation of an \slink{morphology}{atomistic morphology}, which is then partitioned on \slink{segments}{hopping sites}. The coordinates of the hopping sites are used to construct a list of pairs of molecules, or \slink{neighborlist}{neighbor list}.

For each pair an \slink{transfer_integrals}{electronic coupling element}, a \slink{reorganization}{reorganization energy}, a \slink{site_energies}{driving force}, and eventually the \slink{rates}{hopping rate} are evaluated. The neighbor list and hopping rates define a directed graph. The corresponding master equation is solved using the \slink{kmc}{kinetic Monte Carlo} method, which allows to explicitly monitor the charge dynamics in the system as well as to calculate time or ensemble averages of occupation probabilities, charge fluxes, correlation functions, and field-dependent mobilities.
