title: Dynamical Monte Carlo modelling of organic solar cells: the dependence of internal quantum efficiency on morphology.
abstract: We present a dynamical Monte Carlo study of the dependence of the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of an organic bulk heterojunction solar cell on the device morphology. The IQE is found to be strongly sensitive to the scale of phase separation in the morphology, with a peak at approximately 20 nm for the PFB/F8BT system studied. An ordered, checkered morphology exhibits a peak IQE 1.5 times higher than a disordered blend.
