New peaks observed in the CPC spectra of PC 60 BM/ITO & PC 70 BM/ITO junction that are absent in the absorption spectroscopy Comparison of experimental results & quantum chemistry calculations suggest singlet-triplet transitions ZINDO/S calculations, when scaled according to the S 1  S 0 excitation energies, well reproduces the CPC spectra A model based on electron collision induced transitions have been proposed to explain the new features in the CPC spectra Summary
