Abstract
We analyze the carrier transit behavior in poly[N-9’-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4’,7’-di-2-thienyl-2’,1’,3’-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT), which has been reported as a donor material for efficient bulk heterojunction photovoltaic devices. The transfer and transient carrier mobilities in the PCDTBT thin films have been measured and analyzed. The transfer mobility has been measured by the transfer curve of the OFET, whereas the transient mobility is recorded using a time-resolved electric field-induced optical second harmonic generation (TRM-SHG) technique. Using the TRM-SHG technique, the dynamic motion of the charge carriers in the PCDTBT thin films has been directly visualized. We anticipate that the analysis of the carrier motion by TRM-SHG will be effective for the understanding of carrier behavior in PCDTBT thin film and will help to make further improvements in the efficiency of the PCDTBT-based photovoltaic devices.
