Abstract

Photogeneration of electric charge carriers at high strengths of the external electric field and the temperature of transition to the viscous-flow state (T visc) of thin PEPC-C60 composite films obtained by casting from a toluene solution have been studied. The rheology of the composite films has been investigated by the nondestructive optical method. The consistent correlated change in the values of T visc and the effective temperature in the expression for the photogeneration quantum yield (T 0) in the Meltz representation with variations in the C60 concentration has been established. The difference between T visc and T 0 in thin composite films does not exceed 2–3% of T visc (T 0).
