Abstract

Single-crystalline organic solar cells were investigated. Rubrene single crystals made by train sublimation method were used for the active layer of the solar cells. Typical solar cell characteristics and external quantum efficiency (EQE) were observed with the film thickness of several micrometers. In spite of their large film thickness, the EQE spectra showed no screening effect, which means that absorbed photons efficiently converted to electric charges. This can be attributed to the extended exciton diffusion due to uniform and trap free characteristic of rubrene single crystal.
