Excitons in Organics Using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory: PPV, Pentacene, and Picene.
We apply the bootstrap kernel within time-dependent density functional theory to study the one-dimensional chain of polymer polyphenylenevinylene and molecular crystals of picene and pentacene. The absorption spectra of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) has a bound excitonic peak that is well-reproduced. Pentacene and picene, electronically similar materials, have remarkably different excitonic physics...
متن کاملExciton dispersion in molecular solids.
The investigation of the exciton dispersion (i.e. the exciton energy dependence as a function of the momentum carried by the electron-hole pair) is a powerful approach to identify the exciton character, ranging from the strongly localised Frenkel to the delocalised Wannier-Mott limiting cases. We illustrate this possibility at the example of four prototypical molecular solids (picene, pentacene...
متن کاملStructural Properties of Picene−Perfluoropentacene and Picene− Pentacene Blends: Superlattice Formation versus Limited Intermixing
The structure and morphology of mixed thin films of picene (C22H14, PIC) and perfluoropentacene (C22F14, PFP) as well as mixed thin films of PIC and pentacene (C22H14, PEN) grown by simultaneous coevaporation is investigated using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. For both systems we find mixing on the molecular level and the formation of m...
متن کاملElectron-flux infrared response to varying π-bond topology in charged aromatic monomers
The interaction of delocalized π-electrons with molecular vibrations is key to charge transport processes in π-conjugated organic materials based on aromatic monomers. Yet the role that specific aromatic motifs play on charge transfer is poorly understood. Here we show that the molecular edge topology in charged catacondensed aromatic hydrocarbons influences the Herzberg-Teller coupling of π-el...
متن کاملThe vibrational reorganization energy in pentacene: molecular influences on charge transport.
The reorganization energy in pentacene is reported on the basis of a joint experimental and theoretical study of pentacene ionization using high-resolution gas-phase photoelectron spectroscopy, semiempirical intermediate neglect of differential overlap calculations, and first-principles correlated quantum-mechanical calculations at MP2 and density functional theory levels. The reorganization en...
