Exciton-exciton annihilation and the production of interchain species in conjugated polymer films: Comparing the ultrafast stimulated emission and photoluminescence dynamics of MEH-PPV
Despite the enormous versatility of conjugated polymers for use in optoelectronic devices and the correspondingly large number of research studies on their photophysics, understanding of the fundamental nature of the primary photoexcitations remains highly controversial. Part of the reason for this controversy stems from the fact that the photophysics of conjugated polymer films depends sensiti...
متن کاملSpin-dependent polaron recombination in conjugated polymers.
We simulate the interchain polaron recombination process in conjugated polymer systems using a nonadiabatic molecular dynamics method, which allows for the coupled evolution of the nuclear degrees of freedom and multiconfigurational electronic wavefunctions. Within the method, the appropriate spin symmetry of the electronic wavefunction is taken into account, thus allowing us to distinguish bet...
متن کاملUltrafast dynamics of charge carrier photogeneration and geminate recombination in conjugated polymer:fullerene solar cells
We investigate the nature of ultrafast exciton dissociation and carrier generation in acceptor-doped conjugated polymers. Using a combination of two-pulse femtosecond spectroscopy with photocurrent detection, we compare the exciton dissociation and geminate charge recombination dynamics in blends of two conjugated polymers, MeLPPP methyl-substituted ladder-type poly p-phenylene and MDMO-PPV pol...
متن کاملUltrafast excited state absorption and charge separation in phenylene-based conjugated polymers
Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy of phenylene-based -conjugated polymers give low and high energy photoinduced absorptions (PAs) to final states with very different relaxation behavior. While the low energy two-photon state that is reached in PA relaxes to the optical exciton in ultrafast times, the higher energy two-photon state violates the Vavilov–Kasha rule and instead of relaxing to the o...
متن کاملSynthesis and self-assembly of an amphiphilic poly(phenylene ethynylene) ionomer.
We have synthesized a conjugated amphiphilic polyelectrolyte, a poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE), and the structurally analogous neutral polymer. The solution-phase aggregation of the uncharged PPE can be reversibly controlled by varying the solvent polarity and concentration, while the charged polymer appears to self-assemble at any concentration in compatible solvents. These conclusions are b...
