Summary :

By using electric-field-induced optical second-harmonic generation (EFISHG) measurement, we investigated interfacial carrier behavior in organic solar cells (OSCs) with a blocking layer of bathocuproine (BCP). Results evidently showed that the Maxwell-Wagner type excess charges accumulate on both pentacene/C60 and C60/BCP interfaces. Also, the measurement under short-circuit and open-circuit conditions clearly showed the different photo-induced carrier behaviors in the OSCs devices. Our work proved that the dielectric nature of OSCs dominates the operation of our OSCs and the EFISHG technique is very effective to characterize the dielectric performance of the OSCs.
