Aggregates of conjugated polymers exhibit two classes of fundamental electronic
interactions: those occurring within a given chain and those occurring between chains. The …

The award of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000 to Professors Alan Heeger, Alan
MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for their discovery that “doped” polyacetylene can …

The absorption spectrum of polythiophene and its derivative poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)
is usually described in terms of an intrachain exciton coupled to a single phonon mode. We …

We report measurements of the photovoltaic response of two‐layer photocells formed with
layers of the conjugated polymer poly (phenylenevinylene), PPV and fullerene, C60, formed …

Electroactive oligomers form an important class of advanced materials for the development
of new devices such as thin-film, flexible batteries; semiconductors; large-area optical …

A new model for analyzing the photophysics of polymer aggregates is introduced taking into
account exciton motion along a polymer chain and across polymer chains. Excitonic …

We review the device and materials science behind organic electroluminescent diodes
made both using discrete evaporable molecules and spin-cast organic polymers. A great …

The Polymeric Materials Encyclopedia presents state-of-the-art research and development
on the synthesis, properties, and applications of polymeric materials. This groundbreaking …

Correlated quantum-chemical calculations are used to investigate the influence of interchain
interactions on the absorption and emission of π-conjugated chains. The results are …

We report measurements of the photovoltaic effect in diode structures formed with thin films
(100 nm) of the conjugated polymer poly (p-phenylene vinylene), PPV, sandwiched between …
