Abstract

Photocurrents in phthalocyanine ohmic samples and in phthalocyanine/perylene solar cells are shown. In principle current spectra follow the absorption spectra of the materials. Deviations from this behaviour can be accounted for by filtering effects. The influence of intensity, bias light and applied voltage is discussed.
