摘要
Photophysical processes occurring within organic semiconductors is important for designing and fabricating organic solar cells.Copper phthalocyanine(CuPc)is a typical electron acceptor.In this work,the triplet exciton lifetime is prolonged by altering the molecular stacking pattern of the CuPc film.For CuPc thin films,the excited state decays are mainly determined by the triplet-triplet annihilation process.The ultrafast transient absorption measurements indicate that the primary annihilation mechanism is one-dimensional exciton diffusion collision destruction.The decay kinetics show a clearly time-dependent annihilation rate constant withγ∝t^(-1/2).Annihilation rate constants are determined to beγ0=(2.87±0.02)×10^(-20)cm^(3)·s^(-1/2)and(1.42±0.02)×10^(-20)cm^(3)·s^(-1/2)for upright and lyingdown configurations,respectively.Compared to the CuPc thin film with an upright configuration,the thin film with a lying-down configuration shows longer exciton lifetime and higher absorbance,which are beneficial to organic solar cells.The results in this work have important implications on the design and mechanistic understanding of organic optoelectronic devices.
