Exciton dissociation in organic semiconductors is a two-step process that consists first of an initial transfer of an electron from the photoexcited donor to the acceptor and second of the subsequent separation process of the resulting coulomb-bound interfacial electron-hole pair. Here, we have explored whether the initial electron transfer is thermally activated and can thus be described by a Markus-type rate, or whether it is a temperature-independent tunneling-type process that is best modelled by a Miller-Abrahams rate. In order to investigate the influence of thermal activation on the transfer dynamics, we have performed temperature dependent ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy on films of PCPDTBT-PCBM blends with a resolution of 200fs. The charge transfer is measured by monitoring the transient absorption of the polymer cation after excitation. We find no change in transfer dynamics upon cooling to 12K within our temporal resolution. This result suggests that initial charge transfer lacks thermal activation.
