Pn-heterojunctions of calcium doped praseodymium manganite Pr0.66Ca0.34MnO3 and niobium doped strontium titanite SrTi0.998Nb0.002O3 (PCMO-STNO) are used as a model system to investigate next generation solar cells going beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit by harvesting hot polaron-type charge carriers. In order to study the photovoltaic response in combination with the temperature and wavelength dependent generation of charge carriers, LBIC is used on a specially grown wedge-shaped PCMO thin film. A position dependent signal is obtained, which translates into the variation of the absorber thickness. PCMO has a perovskite structure and exhibits strong electron-phonon coupling leading to stable polarons. At the charge ordering temperature (TCO≈ 230 K) PCMO undergoes a phase transition from the semiconducting paramagnetic to the charge ordered phase [1]. Liquid nitrogen cooling of the LBIC setup enables temperature dependent LBIC measurements below room temperature and thus gives insights into this transition. Comparison with temperature dependent electron beam induced current (EBIC) measurements highlights differences between photon and electron excitation. [1] L. Wu et al., Phys. Rev. B 76, 174210 (2007)
