Discussing theory and transport, synthesis, processing, properties, and applications, this
second edition of a standard resource covers advances in the field of electrically conducting …

Observations of intermolecular excimers in several π-conjugated polymers and exciplexes
of these polymers with tris (p-tolyl) amine are reported. It is shown that the luminescence of …

Many significant fundamental concepts and practical applications have developed since the
publication of the best-selling second edition of the Handbook of Conducting Polymers. Now …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the new semiconductor device physics that can
be realized using thin films of semiconducting polymers as the active layers, in devices …

The electronic structure of conjugated polymers can be understood to a certain extent by
applying the Pariser‐Parr‐Pople model for interacting π‐electrons in conjugated molecules …

We have studied electronic excited states in films of poly (p-phenylenevinylene) using
picosecond transient and cw photomodulation, photoluminescence, and their excitation …

Provides a semi-quantitative approach to recent developments in the study of optical
properties of condensed matter systems Featuring contributions by noted experts in the field …

We have measured the full two-photon absorption (TPA) spectrum in the transparency range
of single-crystal polydiacetylene paratoluene-sulfonate (PTS) using z scan. The spectrum …

The evolution with increasing Coulomb correlations of a semiconductor to a magnetic
insulator is related to an excited-state crossover in π-electron models for conjugated …

A harmonic Condon approach is used to calculate excitation and emission band shapes for
the lowest dipole-allowed electronic transitions in conjugated oligomers: polyenes …
