✦ Synopsis


Conversion of red light into an electrical current has been investigated in a molecular structure containing three different chromophores in successive molecular layers. A stepwise change in the standard redox potential with a total drop of about 0.5 eV facilitates downhill separation of electron-hole pairs. The structure delivers a current yield of 0.3 hole per absorbed photon. The performance of the structure is described with experimentally accessible quantities.

The photoconductivity of films of amorphous molecular semiconductors increases upon simultaneous photogeneration of singlet electron-hole pairs (EHPs) and triplet excitons and decreases upon photogeneration of triplet EHPs and triplet excitons. An increase in external electric field strength leads t
