The Photovoltaic Response of Intrinsic Organic Semiconductor Single Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rubrene, perylene, -quaterthiophene, and tetracene single crystals were grown and placed between indiumtin-oxide and Al electrodes; the current-voltage characteristics of the so-fabricated two-terminal organic devices were measured at ambient conditions under solar simulator illumination. While rubrene single crystals do not exhibit any photovoltaic effect, open-circuit voltages reach values up to 1.8 V in devices based on perylene, -quaterthiophene, and tetracene single crystals.

Recent synthetic work has realized a novel (n-type) small-molecule acceptor, 7,8,15,16-tetra-aza-terrylene (TAT), single-crystals of which can be grown oriented along the c-axis crystallographic direction, and over-coated with pentacene to form a highly ordered donor/acceptor interface for use in organic photovoltaic devices. However, characterization of single TAT crystals reveals highly varia...

An architecture in which nand p-type materials alternate laterally in the active ®lm of a device with a spatial period of about a carrier diusion length would lead to ecient (opto)electronic devices for photovoltaic energy conversion and switching, among others. Such an architecture, although dicult to achieve with conventional silicon-based schemes, is within reach using semiconductor nanoc...
