Mesoscopic modelling of conducting and semiconducting polymers

Mesoscopic Modelling of Conducting and Semiconducting Polymers

We present generalised Monte-Carlo calculations to assess the effects of texture and related key factors on the properties of polymer-based light emitting diodes. We describe one class of mesoscopic model giving specific realisations of the polymer network. The model, with simple physically-based rules, shows the effects of polymer structural order on current flow, trapping, and radiative and n...

Solitonic States in Organic Conducting Polymers

In a typical solitonic distribution, the soliton density is distributed over the entire moleculeand the present work shows how its density can be decomposed into solitonic and antisolitoniccomponents. It is found that there exists a unique electron as soliton over the anionicnanoconductor, while there are many other solitons and antisolitons. The solitonic states are furtherdecomposed to the ca...

Conducting Polymers

In general, conducting polymers include electronically conducting polymers and ionically conducting polymers. Ionically conducting polymers are usually called polymer electrolytes. Electronically conducting polymers can also include conjugated conducting polymers and the insulating polymers blending with conducting materials. In this chapter, the conducting polymers are limited to conjugated co...
