Conjugation-length dependence of spin-dependent exciton formation rates in pi-conjugated oligomers and polymers.
We have measured the ratio, r = sigma(S)/sigma(T) of the formation cross section, sigma of singlet and triplet excitons from polarons in pi-conjugated oligomer and polymer films, using a spectroscopic technique we developed recently. We discovered a universal relation between r and the conjugation length (CL): r(-1) depends linearly on CL-1, irrespective of the chain structure. Since r is direc...

We have measured the ratio, r 1⁄4 sS=sT of the formation cross section, of singlet (S) and triplet (T) excitons from polarons in p-conjugated oligomer and polymer films, using a spectroscopic/magnetic resonance technique. We show that exciton formation from separated polaron pairs in p-conjugated compounds is spin-dependent, specifically r > 1: Moreover, we discovered a universal relation betwe...
متن کاملSinglet and triplet exciton formation rates in conjugated polymer light-emitting diodes
By applying a molecular orbital perturbation approach, we calculate the formation rates for singlet and triplet molecular excitons associated with intermolecular charge-transfer processes. It is found that the interchain bond-charge correlation has a strong influence on the relative probabilities for generating singlet and triplet excitons. Most importantly, application of our approach to a mod...
متن کاملSpin-dependent exciton formation in pi-conjugated compounds.
The efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) made from organic semiconductors is determined by the fraction of injected electrons and holes that recombine to form emissive spin-singlet states rather than non-emissive spin-triplet states. If the process by which these states form is spin-independent, the maximum efficiency of organic LEDs will be limited to 25 per cent. But recent reports have...
متن کاملDirect monitoring of bias-dependent variations in the exciton formation ratio of working organic light emitting diodes
In typical operation of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), excitons are assumed to generate with a ratio of 1:3 for singlet and triplet excitons, respectively, based on a simple spin statistics model. This assumption has been used in designing efficient OLEDs. Despite the larger generation ratio of triplet excitons, physical properties of fluorescent OLEDs are usually evaluated only through...
