Characteristic features of the photoconductivity and spin conversion of electron-hole pairs in doped amorphous molecular semiconductors in the dye absorption region

The photoconductivity of doped poly-N-epoxypropylcarbazole films in the absorption region of a cationic polymethine dye is observed to increase when the BF ₄ ⁻ ion is replaced by Cl⁻ and I⁻. The effect of a magnetic field on the photoluminescence is investigated at room temperature. The photoconductivity is studied as a function of the electric field intensity and wavelength of light. The dependence of the photoconductivity on the nature of the anion can be explained by a change in the probability of intercombination conversion in ionic and electron-hole pairs. Fiz. Tverd.
