An example of an organic material layer where light absorption and transport of excitons takes place, is in a film of well-ordered poly(3-hexylthiophene) nanofibres. When light is absorbed by a solar cell, it creates electron-hole pairs called excitons and the motion of these excitons plays a crucial role in the operation of the device.
