Comprehensive studies of response characteristics of organic photodetectors based on rubrene and C60

Abstract

We studied the transient response characteristics of organic photodetectors composing of high mobility materials of rubrene and C 60 , respectively, as donor and acceptor. It was found that the response speed was limited by the delay time of both exciton diffusion and transit, and an anomalous phenomenon that the bandwidth decreases as the reverse bias increases was found for the first time. The investigation of frequency dependence at different device structures and light excitations demonstrated that the light absorption of rubrene prevents the photodetector from obtaining a fast response. With the help of magnetic field effect study, it was clearly elucidated that the slow diffusion time of the long lifetime triplet excitons generated from singlet fission in rubrene limited the bandwidth of the device. Moreover, the simulation of the response of photodetector under transient and steady state by exciton transport-diffusion equation showed that the exciton dissociation efficiency in rubrene increases more quickly than that in C 60 , which should account for the negative dependence of bandwidth on the reverse bias in rubrene-based device.

Trap-Assisted Photomultiplication Polymer Photodetectors Obtaining an External Quantum Efficiency of 37 500%

“…However, the enhanced electron injected current has no contribution to J ph and EQE values of PPDs, which can be demonstrated from the detailed J ph –V , J l – V , and J d – V curves, as shown in Figure S3 in the Supporting Information. All the characteristics of the PPDs with P3HT:PC 61 BM (1:1) as active layer well accord with the previously reported photodiode type organic photodetectors. , In the following section, all the characterizations on photodiode type PPDs with P3HT:PC 61 BM (1:1) as active layer were carried out under low applied bias (−4 V) to give credible and repeatable experimental results.…”

Optimization of Broad-Response and High-Detectivity Polymer Photodetectors by Bandgap Engineering of Weak Donor–Strong Acceptor Polymers

“…Spectral responsivity of the optimized photodetector fabricated with P1 appears to be voltagedependent (Figure 4d), which is likely due to the field-induced charge transport and injection. 64,65 Similarly, the responsivity and specific detectivity of other devices also depend on the electric field (Supporting Information).…”

Sensitive and Robust Ultraviolet Photodetector Array Based on Self-Assembled Graphene/C60 Hybrid Films

“…Integrating graphene with semiconducting light harvesters proves a capable method for responsivity enhancement using the photogating effect. All-carbon hybrid films have recently shown excellent reliability and superior optoelectronic properties in harvesting excitons. − Fullerene (C 60 ), a zero-dimensional (0D) carbon allotrope, presents numerous exciting chemical and physical properties and has been widely employed as an efficient trapping material in various optoelectronic applications. − The strong and tunable absorption of UV light by C 60 molecules opens up the potential for forming UV functional composite with graphene in a synergetic way. In addition, both theoretical and experimental evidence support the presence of highly efficient charge transfer at the graphene–C 60 interface, , which is important for fabricating high-performance photodetectors.…”
