Abstract
The effect of negative photoconductivity of ferrocenyl-containing oligomer films doped with a merocyanine dye based on ferrocene and tetranitrofluorene has been found. The decrease in the conductivity current and its recovery after switching off light are in agreement with the decrease and the recovery of the dielectric loss tangent in the films studied. The phenomenological model is suggested in which the buildup of space charge from nonequilibrium current carriers and its effect on electric conductivity of the films are taken into account. It is supposed that energetic traps for nonequilibrium charge carriers are formed due to proximity of the ferrocenyl fragments in the oligomer and a long distance between its end groups.
