The degradation of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to the growth of dark spots
can be attributed to the synergy of three external causes: dust particles deposited during the …

This tutorial review describes recent advances that have challenged the traditional view that
the Rayleigh limit, of approximately λ/2, represents the ultimate resolution accessible using …

Photon pair-correlation spectroscopy was used to study the photoluminescence of single,
isolated chains of the conjugated polymer MEH-PPV (poly [2-methoxy, 5-(2-ethyl-hexyloxy) …

Direct photocurrent map** of organic solar cells (OSCs) using a novel implementation of a
near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) is described. By rastering the light output …

Nanolithography of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has been performed by the new
technique of scanning near-field photolithography (SNP). Patterns of parallel lines written by …

It is becoming increasingly clear that the way in which a conjugated polymer film is cast
affects the interactions between polymer chains and thus the optical and electrical properties …

The utility of picosecond fluorescence dynamics as an experimental indicator of exciton
motion in conjugated polymers is assessed by examining the fluorescence dynamics of …

Electrospinning in controlled nitrogen atmosphere is developed for the realization of active
polymer nanofibers. Fibers electrospun under controlled atmospheric conditions are found …

Exciton delocalization in the conjugated polymer poly (p-phenylene vinylene)(PPV) is
investigated using temperature-dependent spectroscopy. As the temperature is lowered, the …
