We have fabricated photovoltaic cells from organic donor/acceptor couples a
rranged as ionically self assembled monolayers, Making use of the morpholog
ical control on the nanometer level we were able to study the influence of
the device structure and layer composition on the quantum yield of charge c
arrier photogeneration, The photoluminescence quenching and the photocurren
t spectra reveal sample composition, charge carrier photogeneration and tra
nsport properties independently.
