Exciton Dissociation In Doped Conjugated Polymers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
A model of carrier photogeneration in doped conjugated polymers is formulated. The model suggests that dissociation of a relaxed exciton into a Coulombically bound geminate pair (GP) occurs at a charge transfer center that consists of a polymer chain and a nearby electron acceptor. Further dissociation of the GP into free carriers is facilitated either by the kinetic energy of the zero-point oscillation of the on-chain carrier at low dopant concentrations or by the interfacial potential barrier for geminate pair recombination in polymer/electron acceptor blends.
