Bulk photovoltaic effect in an organic polar crystal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Organic polar crystals from the donor-acceptor substituted 1,4-diphenybutadiene 1 can generate a short-circuit photocurrent and a photovoltage upon illumination with near UV light. The photocurrent and photovoltage are attributed to a bulk photovoltaic effect. The bulk photovoltaic effect has been known for inorganic polar crystals for decades and can now also be demonstrated for organic polar crystals.

Spatial soliton pairs in an unbiased photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal circuit
: Optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (PR) crystal are investigated. Each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Materials Design of High-Performing Bulk Photovoltaics with the LiNbO3 Structure
The bulk photovoltaic effect is a long-known but poorly understood phenomenon. Recently, however, the multiferroic bismuth ferrite has been observed to produce strong photovoltaic response to visible light, suggesting that the effect has been underexploited. Here we present three polar oxides in the LiNbO3 structure that we predict to have band gaps in the 1–2 eV range and very high bulk photov...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculation of the bulk photovoltaic effect in the polar compounds LiAsS2, LiAsSe2, and NaAsSe2.
We calculate the shift current response, which has been identified as the dominant mechanism for the bulk photovoltaic effect, for the polar compounds LiAsS2, LiAsSe2, and NaAsSe2. We find that the magnitudes of the photovoltaic responses in the visible range for these compounds exceed the maximum response obtained for BiFeO3 by 10-20 times. We correlate the high shift current response with the...
