Abstract
The high photosensitivity of azo-compound-based photoreceptors is cons idered to be due to molecular-aggregation-induced geminate-pair dissoc iation rather than a photo-induced electron-transfer reaction. Both ag gregated and non-aggregated carrier-generating materials are employed in order to investigate the mechanism of this process, which has pract ical implications for the development of electrophotography.
