Abstract

Although doping of a conjugated polymer by electron acceptors strongly facilitates exciton dissociation into geminate pairs of carriers, the yield of free carrier photogeneration can be high only at high doping levels, that is, in polymer/acceptor blends. We suggest a model that explains how excitons can efficiently dissociate into free carriers at an intrinsic polymer/acceptor interface despite the Coulomb interaction between the charges within precursor geminate pairs.
