Large figure on cover: “Molecular simulation of a mixture of PCMB [6,6-phenylC61-butyric acid methyl ester) and an organic solvent (chlorobenzene) and iodinecontaining organic dopant. PCBM is a chemically-modified fullerene (bucky ball) that serves as an electron acceptor. A plastic solar cell is formed by adding the polymer to the PCBM/solvent mixture and casting a thin film that is then dried to remove the solvent,” J. R.
