Abstract: | The spectral distribution of photoconductivity in poly(6-tert-butyl-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine) was studied in the sandwich configuration with indium tin oxide and silver electrodes. The photocurrent was found to originate mainly from the bulk dissociation of excitons with lesser contribution from electrode-mediated exciton dissociation. The molecule was fluorescent, but in the presence of the electron acceptor molecule 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP), the intensity was reduced. The reduction in fluorescence intensity corresponded to an increase in photocurrent. The molecule showed photoconductivity in the visible without any sensitizers, which makes it suitable for stable photorefractive composites. |
