- The interaction between aluminum and α-ω-diphenyltetradecaheptaenee (DP7), α-sexithienyl (6T), and poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), respectively have been studied using both X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS). The UPS valence band spectra, are interpreted with the help of quantum chemical calculations based upon Modified Neglect of Diatomic Overlap (MNDO), Valence Effective Hamitonian (VEH) and ab initio Hartree-Fock methods. DP7 is a model molecule for polyacetylene, while 6T is a model molecule (an oligomer) of polythiophene. The results indicate that aluminum reacts strongly with the surfaces of all of the materials studied. The π-electronic structure of each material was strongly modified. Furthermore, aluminum reacts preferentially with the polyene partof DP7, with the vinylene part of PPV, and with the α-carbons of the thiophene nits of 6T.

Optical absorption studies of sodium doped poly(cyanoterephthalylidene)
- 1994

- The effects of doping poly(cyanoterephthalylidene) with sodium in ultrahighvacuum been studied by optical absorption spectroscopy. Upon doping, new optical transitions are observed within the bandgap; the characteristics of these transitions are consistent with the formation of bipolarons. The optical absorption results are confirmed by direct measurements of the doping-induced gap states using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy.

Electronic delocalization in discotic liquid crystals : A joint experimental and theoretical study
- 2004

Ingår i: Journal of the American Chemical Society. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0002-7863 .- 1520-5126. ; 126:38, s. 11889-11899

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Discotic liquid crystals emerge as very attractive materials for organic-based (opto)electronics as they allow efficient charge and energy transport along self-organized molecular columns. Here, angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS) is used to investigate the electronic structure and supramolecular organization of the discotic molecule, hexakis(hexylthio)diquinoxalino[2,3-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine, deposited on graphite. The ARUPS data reveal significant changes in the electronic properties when going from disordered to columnar phases, the main feature being a decrease in ionization potential by 1.8 eV following the appearance of new electronic states at low binding energy. This evolution is rationalized by quantum-chemical calculations performed on model stacks containing from two to six molecules, which illustrate the formation of a quasi-band structure with Bloch-like orbitals delocalized over several molecules in the column. The ARUPS data also point to an energy dispersion of the upper π-bands in the columns by some 1.1 eV, therefore highlighting the strongly delocalized nature of the π-electrons along the discotic stacks.

Interface formation between poly(2,5-diheptyl-p-phenylenevinylene) and calcium : implications for light-emitting diodes
- 1994

- The early stages of metal/polymer interface formation between calcium and poly(2,5-diheptyl-p-phenylenevinylene) (PDHPV) have been studied using both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Charge transfer is observed from the metal atoms to the polymer; as a result the calcium atoms at the interface are ionic, and negative bipolarons appear as the charge-carrying species on the polymer chains. This n-type doping of PDHPV by calcium leads to the appearance of new electronic states in the polymer bandgap. The calcium atoms appear to diffuse into the near surface region of the polymer, rather than forming a well-defined overlayer on the organic films.

Ultra-fast charge transfer in organic electronic materials and at hybrid interfaces studied using the core-hole clock technique

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The focus of this brief review is the use of resonant photoemission in its "core-hole clock" expression for the study of two important problems relevant for the field of organic electronics: the dynamical charge transfer across hybrid organic-inorganic interfaces, and the intermolecular charge transfer in the bulk of organic thin films. Following an outline of the technique, a discussion of its applicability and a short overview of experimental results obtained thus far, two examples are used to illustrate particular results relevant for the understanding of the charge transport in organic electronic devices. First, for Fe(II)-tetraphenylporphyrin molecules on semi-metallic molybdenum disulfide substrates, the electronic coupling to the substrate and the efficiency of charge transport across the interface different for the individual molecular electronic subsystems is discussed. And second, a discotic liquid crystalline material forming columnar assemblies is used to illustrate ultra-fast intermolecular charge transfer on the order of a few femtoseconds indicating an electronic coupling between the phthalocyanine units stronger than expected from the macroscopic charge transport characteristics of the material.

- The electronic structure of a series of phenyl-capped EDOT oligomers was studied using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, in combination with quantum-chemical methods. The bulk IP of the neutral PEDOT polymer was estimated to be 4.2 eV. The frontier band structue was predicted from the evolution of the spectral features in the studied series of oligomers.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The electronic and geometric structures of poly [3-(4-octylphenyl)thiophene] have been studied by X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS, respectively). Thermochromic effects, and new charge induced states generated by potassium doping, have been observed by direct UPS measurements. The experimental results are in very good agreement with the results of theoretical quantum chemical calculations performed with the Austin Model 1 semi-empirical model and the valence-effective Hamiltonian pseudo-potential model.

- The electronic structure of poly [3-(4-octylphenyl)thiophene] (POPT) has been studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), as well as by quantum chemical calculations. Both temperature-dependent effects on the electronic structure of the neutral system, as well as the generation of new electronic states induced by doping with alkaline metals, have been observed. The experimental results are in good agreement with the results of the quantum chemical calculations.
