Matrix-product approach to conjugated polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The matrix product method ~MPM! has been used in the past to generate variational Ansätze of the ground state ~GS! of spin chains and ladders. In this paper we apply the MPM to study the GS of conjugated polymers in the valence bond basis, exploiting the charge and spin conservation as well as the electron-hole and spin-parity symmetries. We employ the U-V-d Hamiltonian, which is a simplified version of the Pariser-ParrPople Hamiltonian. For several coupling constants U and V and dimerizations d , we compute the GS energy per monomer, which agrees within a 2–4 % accuracy with the density-matrix renormalization group results. We also show the evolution of the MP-variational parameters in the weak and strong dimerization regimes.

متن کاملNoncovalent engineering of carbon nanotube surfaces by rigid, functional conjugated polymers.
We report a new nonwrapping approach to noncovalent engineering of carbon nanotube surfaces by short, rigid functional conjugated polymers, poly(aryleneethynylene)s. Our technique not only enables the dissolution of various types of carbon nanotubes in organic solvents, which represents the first example of solubilization of carbon nanotubes via pi-stacking without polymer wrapping, but could a...

Cationic polyimines polymerized through aromatically conjugated bis-imine linkages and intra-molecular cross-linking were found to be a new class of effective transfection materials for their flexibility in structural optimization, responsiveness to intracellular environment, the ability to facilitate endosome escape and cytosol release of the nucleic acids, as well as self-metabolism. When thr...

In this work, we present firstly a study based on the calculation of the local spin densities of radical cations, which is known as a good measure of reactivity for coupling reactions, to obtain a theoretical basis for the one-step formation of poly(3.6-carbazole) and derivatives. Then we detail a DFT theoretical study of the geometric and electronic properties of oligomers based on carbazole a...
