摘要
We have synthesized nine anisotropic chromophores, with different degrees of fluorination, and studied the effect of the chromophore's ionization potential on charge-transfer complexation, photoconductivity, and response time in photorefractive polymer mixtures based on poly(vinylcarbazole). (2,4,7-Trinitrofluoren-9-ylidene)malononitrile (TNFDM) or C-60 provided the sensitization. We have found evidence of strong complexation between TNFDM and the chromophore. At high electric fields, the photoconductivity decays during illumination and reaches a limiting value that correlates with the chromophore's ionization potential. A buildup of C-60(-) radical anions is observed simultaneously. The strong decline in photoconductivity correlates with an increase in the photorefractive grating buildup time.
