Abstract.

We present the possible construction of an organic FET-like photoactive device in which source-drain current through a phthalocyanine ( H2Pc film is affected by a photo-induced dipolar field in a photoactive “gate” electrode. The influence of the dipolar electric field on charge transfer between H2Pc molecules is modeled by DFT quantum-chemical calculations on H2Pc dimers and tetramers.
