Photoelectric investigations of charge-transferring metal-doped [60] fullerenes

Abstract Physical Jet Deposition method was used to form the C 60 Ni films, one of the metal-doped [60] fullerenes films, which were made into the Al/C 60 Ni/ ITO layered structure photovoltaic cells. The photovoltaic effect and the current–voltage characteristic in dark with the devices were taken. Compared with the Al/C 60 /ITO layer structure devices, the enhancement of photovoltage and rectification rate of C 60 Ni devices was found. Possible reasons were discussed.
