- 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.

- We report a systematic approach to the control of the conjugation length along the poly(thiophene) backbone. The planarity of the main chain can be permanently modified by altering the pattern of substitution and character of the substituents on the poly(thiophene) chain, and the conjugation length is thus modified. We obtain blue, green, orange, red, and near-infrared electroluminescence from four chemically distinct poly(thiophenes). The external quantum efficiencies are in the range of 0.01-0.6%.

Improved photoluminescence efficiency of films from conjugated polymers

- We have demonstrated two general ways to increase the photoluminescence efficiency of films from conjugated polymers. One is to disperse the conjugated polymer on a molecular level by using attractive forces between the conjugated polymer and the matrix. The other method is to substitute the conjugated polymer with side chains which separates the conjugated backbones. Using this idea a new poly(thiophene) with a photoluminescence efficiency of 16% in films has been prepared. LEDs from this polymer exhibit an external efficiency of 0.1% for single layer and 0.7% for double layer diodes.

- We have demonstrated a general way to tune the emission of poly(alkylthiophenes) by using steric interaction between the repeating units. Light-emitting diodes prepared of the polymers have blue to near-infrared emission.

Controlling colour by voltage in polymer light emitting diodes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report electroluminescence using different substituted polythiophenes as the emitting mterial. Different substituents cause different sterical interacion which force the thiophene rings out of planarity. This results in different bandgaps. Colours from blue to near infrared have been demonstrated in electroluminescent devices. We also demonstrate voltage controlled electroluminescence using mixtures of these polymers.

Polymer light-emitting diodes placed in microcavities

- The use of resonant optical microcavities to influence the emission properties of conjugated polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is reported. The microcavities, which are built using metallic mirrors and polymeric spacers, incorporate polymer LEDs in between the mirrors. We report experimental results of polymer LEDs based on substituted polythiophenes. The effects include substantial narrowing of the spectral width of the emitted light, enhancement of the emission at the microcavity resonance, and coupling of two emission processes to different resonance modes in the same cavity.

- Polarized light sources based on stretch-oriented conjugated polymers are reported. The devices, based on poly 3(4-octylphenyl)-2,2′-bithiophene, show an external quantum efficiency of 0.1% and are produced using a very simple method which may be easily extended to other polymers. The fabrication of the devices is described and factors such as the emission and spectral differences parallel and prependicular to the stretching direction discussed.

Phase separation of conjugated polymers - Tools for new functions in polymer LEDs
- 1997

- Within the single family of substituted poly(thiophenes) it is possible to realize such diverse device designs as voltage controlled colours from polymer LEDs, sub-micron size LEDs, and white light emitters. Many of these features become possible by the use of polymer blends in which one or more poly(thiophenes) are mixed with a matrix polymer (PMMA). The phase structure in these blends can be controlled by stoichiometry and mode of formation. That phase structure can be used to prevent exciton transfer, and to define new colours in polymer LEDs. It also allows us to make anisotropic conductors suitable for contacting optical devices.

- Polymer blends are often used in polymer light emitting diodes as a tool to increase the efficiency of the devices. In this report, we show the necessity to take the phase separation properties of such blends into account, as the miscibility of the involved polymers drastically affects the resulting film structure. By using phase separated polymer blends involving conjugated poly(thiophenes) and different nonconjugated polymers as matrices, different types of applications, such as light emitting diodes with improved voltage control of emitted colour, sub-micron size LEDs and anisotropic conductors are demonstrated.
