Sub-Bandgap Absorption in Polythiophene--Fullerene Heterojunctions: Experiment and Theory — •Wichard Beenken, Felix Herrmann, Martin Presselt, Harald Hoppe, Sviatoslav Shokhovets, Gerhard Gobsch, and Erich Runge — Technische Universität Ilmenau, Institut für Physik and Institut für Mikro- und Nanotechnologien, 98693 Ilmenau, Germany

Most high-performance organic solar cells base on P3HT/PCBM bulk-heterojunctions. Spectroscopy of the sub-bandgap region, i.e., below the bulk absorption of the individual components, provides unique opportunities to study interface-related properties. In order to characterize some of the unsettled spectral features, we applied quantum-chemical calculations of a oligothiophene--fullerene model complex, which in particular allow us to identify spectral signatures of charge-transfer excitons in the sub-bandgap absorption and external quantum efficiency.
