- We have used seven different techniques to measure the anisotropic refractive index of poly(vinylcarbazole) films. These techniques are: two types of variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) with multiple sample analysis, Interference enhanced VASE, Transmittance combined with VASE, Polarised Reflectance, beta-scan VASE, and prism coupling. We have found the average ordinary and extraordinary indices at 633 nm to be no = nTE = 1.675 ± 0.008, and ne = nTM = 1.722 ± 0.018, respectively, consistent amongst methods and conclusive on the magnitude of Δn in polymer films.

- We present the synthesis and characterisation of poly(2-(2',5'-bis(2?-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl)-1, 4-phenylenevinylene) (BEHP-PPV) polymerised under different conditions. The photoluminescence efficiencies (?PL) in the solid state of BEHP-PPV obtained at 144°C and 0°C are 28% and 60%, respectively. Polymerisation temperatures below 0°C decreases the molecular weight without changing the photoluminescence efficiency to any large extent.

- Anisotropy and isotropic transient absorption decays of a polythiophene derivative in dilute solution have been measured and compared to calculated decays on Monte Carlo simulated polymer chains to obtain knowledge about the geometrical conformation of the polymer. The polymer chain conformations are generated by a partially correlated self-avoiding random walk. Excitation migration along the isolated chain is modeled assuming a hopping mechanism. This approach can be used to determine conformational disorder and possible realizations of the polymer chains in solution as well as the trapping time and migration length of the excitation. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

- The synthesis and characterization of two soluble poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s substituted with phenyl groups on the vinylene moiety is reported. The polymers are poly(1,4-phenylene-1,2-diphenylvinylene) (PPV-DP) and poly(1,4-phenylene-1,2-(3'-(2?-ethylhexyloxy))-diphenylvinylene) (PPV-mEHDP). The monomers containing chloromethyl groups were polymerized with excess potassium tert-butoxide in dioxane at room temperature. The polymerization conditions are optimized. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of the polymers showed an increase in the PL efficiency in film from 19% for PPV-DP to 37% for PPV-mEHDP. Both polymers emitted green light with higher intensity in film than in solution.

- We present the synthesis and characterisation of two copolymers. They consists of poly(9-hexyl-9-(2'-ethylhexyl)fluorene) (HEH-PF) with a small amount of another polymer with a narrow band-gap. The synthetic route was designed to allow the incorporation of only one low band-gap segment per polymer chain. Photoluminescence measurements showed that energy transfer from the PF-segments to the low band-gap segments, did occur. In the solid state, all emissions were detected from the low band-gap segments with photoluminescence quantum yields up to 68%. One copolymer showed a low threshold for lasing (2 µJ/cm2) in a microcavity device.

- We present the synthesis and characterization of soluble, high molecular weight phenyl-substituted poly(p-phenylenevinylenes). The studied polymers are poly(2-(2',5'-bis(2?-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl)- 1,4-phenylenevinylene) (BEHP-PPV) and copolymers of BEHP-PPV and poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV). Their photoluminescence and electroluminescence have been examined as well as their stability to air and light. The polymers emitted green and yellow light. Stability measurements showed increased stability compared to some previously known substituted PPVs.

- A PPV-type polymer with the pyridopyrazine heterocycle (EHH-PPyPzV) has been synthesised and found to have high electron affinity according to electrochemical measurements. When used as the electron accepting material in single-layer-photodiodes, with a thiophene copolymer (PEOPT-co-PAAPT) as the electron donating material, IPCE (incident photon to current conversion efficiency) up to 1% was measured. Atomic force microscopy was used to analyse the blend morphology in the devices.

A round robin study of flexible large-area roll-to-roll processed polymer solar cell modules

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A round robin for the performance of roll-to-roll coated flexible large-area polymer solar-cell modules involving 18 different laboratories in Northern America, Europe and Middle East is presented. The study involved the performance measurement of the devices at one location (Riso DTU) followed by transportation to a participating laboratory for performance measurement and return to the starting location (Riso DTU) for re-measurement of the performance. It was found possible to package polymer solar-cell modules using a flexible plastic barrier material in such a manner that degradation of the devices played a relatively small role in the experiment that has taken place over 4 months. The method of transportation followed both air-mail and surface-mail paths.

Luminescence from inter-chain aggregates in polythiophene films
- 2001

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report time-resolved photoluminescence of two polythiophene derivatives with different chain packing. Emission of inter-chain aggregates is distinguished from that of intra-chain singlet excitons. The aggregate luminescence is shifted towards lower energies relative to that of intra-chain exciton by 0.17 eV, and the Huang-Rhys factor of the coupling to the intra-chain C double bondC vibration is S = 1.5. The excitonic coupling in aggregates is of intermediate strength.

Ultrafast photogeneration of inter-chain charge pairs in polythiophene films

- Photoexcitation dynamics in films of polythiophenes with different side groups were studied by transient absorption spectroscopy using 80 fs pulses. We show that inter-chain charge pairs (CP) are generated with similar to 20% efficiency in a polymer with short inter-chain distance (similar to 4 Angstrom) within 100 fs after photoexcitation. We discuss two mechanisms for inter-chain charge separation: (i) electron or hole transfer from an initially excited intra-chain singlet state or (ii) optical excitation of mixed exciton-charge transfer states, which quickly evolve to inter-chain CPs.
