Photoinduced Charge

The photovoltaic applications of conjugated polymer/fullerene composites have attracted much attention from the scientific community. The photoinduced electron transfer and other related photophysical processes occurred in the composites are the central issues. Several kinds of conjugated polymers have been synthesized in our laboratory. Studies of their composites with fullerene are reviewed. We observed strong fluorescence quenching of these conjugated polymers on mixing them with C60 in dilute solution. Anion radical species of C60 were observed in ESR measurements as a result of photoinduced charge separation. The quenching constants vary with different conjugated polymers and thus provide a quantum measurement for the interaction between the donor and acceptor. Solar cells have been fabricated from these conjugated polymer/fullerene composites. Energy conversion efficiency up to 1.1% has been achieved.

Tin mono selenide (SnSe) with an energy gap of about 1 eV is a potential material for photovoltaic applications. Various authors have studied the structure, electronic and photoelectronic properties of thin films of SnSe grown by various deposition techniques. However, for practical photovoltaic junctions the electrical properties of SnSe films need improvement. We have carried out investigations into the properties of flash evaporated SnSe films. In this paper we report our results on the structure, which plays a dominant role on the electrical properties of thin films by TEM, SEM, and electron diffraction (ED).Thin films of SnSe were deposited by flash evaporation of SnSe fine powder prepared from high purity Sn and Se, onto glass, mica and KCl substrates in a vacuum of 2Ø micro Torr. A 15% HF + 2Ø% HNO3 solution was used to detach SnSe film from the glass and mica substrates whereas the film deposited on KCl substrate was floated over an ethanol water mixture by dissolution of KCl. The floating films were picked up on the grids for their EM analysis.

ABSTRACTRutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) is used to characterize the stoichiometry of graphite intercalation compounds (GIC). Specific application is made to several stages of different donor and acceptor compounds and to commensurate and incommensurate intercalants. A deviation from the theoretical stoichiometry is measured for most of the compounds using this non-destructive method. Within experimental error, the RBS results agree with those obtained from analysis of the (00ℓ) x-ray diffractograms and weight uptake measurements on the same samples.
