Abstract
We elucidate photoexcitation dynamics in C(60) and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) from picoseconds to milliseconds by transient absorption and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. Autoionization of C(60) is a precursor to photocarrier generation. Decay of the terahertz signal is due to decreasing photocarrier mobility over the first 20 ps and thereafter reflects recombination dynamics. Singlet diffusion rates in C(60) are determined by modeling the rise of ground state bleaching of ZnPc absorption following C(60) excitation. Recombination dynamics transform from bimolecular to monomolecular as the layer thickness is reduced, revealing a metastable exciplex at the C(60)/ZnPc interface with a lifetime of 150 μs.
