If there is quenching in the PL of a material due to the addition of another material, can that be observed in terms of change in current in the typical V-I characteristics (in two probe measurement) of a composite of those two materials?
Thanks
Vladimir S. Pavlovich Sir,
If you have any reference could you please provide? It would be great help.
Thank you for your response.
Hi Thripuranthaka,
In many organic bulk heterojunction solar cells, you'll find a good quenching measurement is an indication of a good solar cell. There, the current change is the current in the reverse bias, which leads to short circuit current. Researchers, however, rarely carry out a comparable measurement with just one material because they know that reverse current would be negligible. It's well-established in the 80s from the work of Dr. Tang (http://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.96937).
Hope it helps.
