Abstract

The authors have examined ionizing radiation effects in the organic photovoltaic material poly(3-hexylthiophene):([6, 6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester) for total accumulated doses up to 300 krad(SiO2). The authors find that the open circuit voltage varies with the accumulation of irradiation; however, the other parameters such as relaxation time, short circuit current, and charge carrier density remain to first order constant. This behavior is inconsistent with observations on preirradiation devices in which all depend directly on the open circuit voltage.
