Abstract

Transient absorption spectroscopy is employed to contrast the photophysics of [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PC60BM) dispersed in a polystyrene matrix and as a neat film. For the dispersed PC60BM:polystyrene film, singlet excitons are observed that undergo intersystem crossing to triple...
