Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A new methodology has been developed for real-time observation of the number density and drift mobility of the carriers photogenerated in organic semiconductor films, which draw attention as materials as those for solar cells. This methodology enables quantitative evaluation of carrier extinction by electron-hole recombination as well as generation of so-called trap carriers, which have very small mobility. Using this methodology, detailed mechanism of carrier transport that governs recombination and trapping has been studied for films as the bulk-heterojunction films . Further, electrode collection of carriers in the solar cell devices have also been studied.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究において開発した新手法は、有機薄膜太陽電池の効率が低い要因である光生成電荷の再結合およびトラップ過程に関して、時間軸での定量的な議論が可能である点で、従来に例を見ないものである。時間分解分光と電気伝導測定は従来から個別に行われてきたが、各々実験条件が異なるため、些細な実験条件の違いが大きな差を生む薄膜素子において、直接的な結果の比較は難しかった。本研究において、これらを同一素子・同条件で行う全く新しい手法を開発したことにより、分光研究(物理化学)と素子性能評価(材料工学)の分野横断的研究が可能となった。これにより強力な材料開発期待され、学術的意義のみならず社会的意義の大きい研究といえる。
