Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | AMER INST PHYSICS | Source: | APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, 86(11). p. 112104-... | Abstract: | Charge carrier mobility and recombination in a bulk heterojunction solar cell based on the mixture of poly[2-methoxy-5-(3,7-dimethyloctyloxy)-phenylene vinylene] (MDMO-PPV) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6)-C-61 (PCBM) has been studied using the novel technique of photoinduced charge carrier extraction in a linearly increasing voltage (Photo-CELIV). In this technique, charge carriers are photogenerated by a short laser flash, and extracted under a reverse bias voltage ramp after an adjustable delay time (t(del)). The Photo-CELIV mobility at room temperature is found to be mu=2x10(-4) cm(2) V-1 s(-1), which is almost independent on charge carrier density, but slightly dependent on t(del). Furthermore, determination of charge carrier lifetime and demonstration of an electric field dependent mobility is presented.
