Light propagation in conjugated polymer nanowires decoupled from a substrate.

چکیده
Light-emitting conjugated polymer nanowires are vertically grown and remotely manipulated into a freestanding straight or curved structure in three-dimension. This approach enabled us to eliminate substrate coupling, a critical issue in nanowire photonics in the past decade. We for the first time accomplished characterization of propagation and bending losses of nanowires completely decoupled from a substrate.

Fabrication of conjugated polymer nanowires by edge lithography.
This paper describes the fabrication of conjugated polymer nanowires by a three stage process: (i) spin-coating a composite film comprising alternating layers of a conjugated polymer and a sacrificial material, (ii) embedding the film in an epoxy matrix and sectioning it with an ultramicrotome (nanoskiving), and (iii) etching the sacrificial material to reveal nanowires of the conjugated polyme...
متن کاملInP nanowire/polymer hybrid photodiode.
A novel design is presented for a nanowire/polymer hybrid photodiode. n-InP nanowires are grown directly onto an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode to increase carrier collection efficiency and to eliminate the need for an expensive substrate. Experiments show that an ohmic contact is achieved between the nanowires and the ITO electrode. The nanowires are then enveloped by a high hole mobility co...
متن کاملElectrical Conductivity Studies on Individual Conjugated Polymer Nanowires: Two-Probe and Four-Probe Results
Two- and four-probe electrical measurements on individual conjugated polymer nanowires with different diameters ranging from 20 to 190 nm have been performed to study their conductivity and nanocontact resistance. The two-probe results reveal that all the measured polymer nanowires with different diameters are semiconducting. However, the four-probe results show that the measured polymer nanowi...
متن کاملA Solution Processed Flexible Nanocomposite Electrode with Efficient Light Extraction for Organic Light Emitting Diodes
Highly efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on multiple layers of vapor evaporated small molecules, indium tin oxide transparent electrode, and glass substrate have been extensively investigated and are being commercialized. The light extraction from the exciton radiative decay is limited to less than 30% due to plasmonic quenching on the metallic cathode and the waveguide in t...
