Abstract
The transient conductivity of a spincoated poly(3-hexylthiophene) film upon laser excitation is probed using an electrodeless microwave conductivity t echnique which circumvents the drawbacks of electrode contacts, space charg e and polarization in conventional DC methods. The dependence of the kineti cs and the peak values of the conductivity transients is investigated as a function of excitation wavelength and intensity. From these results, insigh t into the mechanism of charge carrier generation, mobility and decay can b e obtained.
