Photocurrent (PC) and current-voltage measurements were taken on MEH-PPV [p
oly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-paraphenylene vinylene] in an as-made p
hotocell, ITO/MEH-PPV (265 nm)/Al, in the photocell under ambient air, unde
r a mixture of oxygen + nitrogen, and in vacuum after annealing. We discuss
the different spectral responses and current-voltage characteristics obtai
ned for the different atmospheres.
