Charge polarons in thin films of polymer and polymer–C70-fullerene composites are investigated by light induced electron spin resonance at 9,5GHz (X-Band). The materials studied were poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), [6,6] phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and a soluble C70-derivate. The composites show two distinct polaron signals under illumination and a temperature below 150K, which can be assigned to photogenerated polarons (P+, P−) in the blends. Furthermore, lineshapes and relaxation times have been studied by 130GHz (D-Band) electron spin echo below 30K. The g-tensors of positive polarons (P+) on P3HT and negative polarons (P−) on C70 have been determined. The T1-relaxation time for both spectra is followed by the interaction of the polarons. We discuss the results with regard to applications such as organic bulk heterojunction solar cells.
