Small molecular weight organic thin-film photodetectors and solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the double heterojunction was proposed to confine excitons within the active layers, allowing substantially higher internal efficiencies to be achieved, and a full optical and electrical analysis of the double-heterostructure architecture leads to optimal cell design as a function of the optical properties and exciton diffusion lengths of the photoactive materials.
