✦ Synopsis
The organic magnetoconductance (MC) effects in poly(3-hexylthiophene): [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyricacid methylester based bulk heterojunction solar cells were studied in dark and under illumination. The correlations between the MC and current character were revealed in this study. Results show that the dark current always exhibits a negative MC whereas a sign change in MC under illumination occurs at the bias around the open circuit voltage V oc . We suggest that the positive MC in photocurrent is due to the field dependent conversion of singlet electron-hole pairs to triplet states and the negative MC is associated with space charge limited current with traps. Other possible mechanisms about the magnetoconductance effects are also discussed.
