Light-assisted deep-trapping of holes in conjugated polymers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The injection of positive charge carriers (holes) into a single conjugated polymer chain was observed to be light-assisted. This effect may underlie critical, poorly understood organic electronic device phenomena such as the build-up of functional deeply trapped charge layers in polymer light emitting diodes. The charging/discharging dynamics were investigated indirectly by a variety of single molecule electro-optical spectroscopic techniques, including an "image-capture" approach.

In this work, Co3O4 nanorods were successfully prepared by microwave-assisted solid state decomposition of rod-like CoC2O4.2H2O precursor within a very short reaction time (6 min) without the use of a solvent/surfactant and complicated equipment. The as-obtained Co3O4 nanorods were fully characterized by X-ray diffract...

متن کاملCrystalline Colloidal Array of Water Voids in Hydrogels: Direct Evidence for Entropic Trapping of Flexible Polymers
We have developed a unique hydrogel material with a monodisperse face-centered cubic array of spherical water holes. This embedded array of holes Bragg diffracts light due to the refractive index mismatch between the holes and the interstitial gel medium. Through Bragg diffraction and absorption spectral studies, we examined the molecular weight and concentration dependence of the partitioning ...
متن کاملTransient electroluminescence of polymer light emitting diodes using electrical pulses
Detailed experimental and theoretical analysis of the pulsed excitation of polymer light emitting diodes is presented. We find a set of universal transient features for a variety of device configurations ~different polymers/cathodes! which can be reproduced using our phenomenological numerical model. We find that the temporal evolution of the electroluminescence in response to a step voltage pu...
متن کاملCharging and discharging of single conjugated-polymer nanoparticles.
Despite intense, long-term interest in organic semiconductors from both an applied and fundamental perspective, key aspects of the electronic properties of these materials remain poorly defined. A particularly challenging problem is the molecular nature of positive charge carriers, that is, holes or oxidized species in organics. Here, the unique ability of single-molecule spectroelectrochemistr...
