A magnetic field enhanced photovoltaic device includes a photoelectric
conversion layer, a first electrode, a second electrode, a
ferro-antiferromagnetic exchange coupling layer and an applied magnetic
field. The first electrode and the second electrode are respectively
disposed on two surfaces of the photoelectric conversion layer to collect
electrons and holes generated by the photoelectric conversion layer. The
first electrode is pervious to light. The incident light reaches the
photoelectric conversion layer through the first electrode. The applied
magnetic field polarizes the spin state of electrons. The
ferro-antiferromagnetic exchange coupling layer adjoins the photoelectric
conversion layer and pins the spin state of electrons.
