Photoinduced absorption and luminescence in fullerene and its composite films with organic compound

Photoluminescence and photoinduced absorption of C60 and its composite films with conducting polymer are reported. The photoinduced absorption of conducting polymer, poly(3-dodecylthiopheue) was found to be enhanced upon doping of C60 up to 10 mol%. The results are discussed in terms of photoinduced electron transfer from conducting polymer to C60.
