Features of the Photovoltaic Properties of Photosemiconductive Film Composites Based on a Carbazolyl-Containing Oligomer with Azobenzene Dyes as Additives.

New photosensitive polymeric film composites based on oligo-N-glycidylcarbazole oligomer with azobenzene dyes as additives (azobenzene derivatives with a glycidyl group in their structure) were obtained and investigated. It was shown that the created composites exhibit photovoltaic properties when they are irradiated in the absorption region of the azobenzene dye. The mechanism and the photovoltaic effect in the investigated composites are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
