Abstract

This chapter reviews our recent theoretical studies on optoelectronic properties of molecular condensates for organic solar cells and light-emitting devices. The following three sections comprises this chapter: (1) photo-induced charge separation in organic solar cells, (2) exciton diffusion length and charge mobility in interpenetrating organic solar cells, and (3) organic light-emitting transistors. We discuss the physical origins underlying organic photovoltaics and light-emissions for rationalizing the experimental measurements.
