Electron-spin resonance (ESR) and light induced electron spin resonance (LESR) studies of photogenerated polarons in films of polymer and of polymer-fullerene composites were performed. Investigated materials are regio-regular and regio-random poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT / RRa-P3HT), [6,6] phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and a novel C70-derivate. In pure polymer-films a single polaron-signal is detected with ESR; it is significantly enhanced under illumination. Polymer-fullerene composites show two distinct polaron signals below 200K. The efficiency of the charge carrier generation in these polymer-fullerene-composites is relevant for applications in organic solar cell devices.
