Publication in Physical Review Applied! Electron-hole pairs in organic photovoltaics are known to dissociate efficiently despite a Coulomb binding energy that exceeds thermal energy, a behavior that remains only partially understood. While previous studies have highlighted the role of electron-phonon interactions and nonequilibrium effects, a clear and physically transparent picture of the dissociation mechanism is still lacking. In this work, we investigate this problem usin
