- Two new soluble block copolymers are reported in which chromophores and hexa(ethylene oxide) units alternate along the polymer backbone. In polymer 1 the chromophore was the distyrylbenzene unit. The polymer was synthesised via the Wittig reaction and the ionization potential of 5.4 ± 0.2 eV was measured by cyclic voltammetry and photoelectron spectroscopy. Polymer 1 showed a high solid-state photoluminescence efficiency (34%) and was used to make efficient (0.5 cd/A) light emitting diodes (LEDs). Polymer 1 was also used in light emitting cells, these showed luminescence in reverse bias and a reduced turn-on voltage compared to the LEDs. Polymer 2, in which the chromophore was dodecafluoro-distryrylbenzene, was prepared via the Horner-Wittig reaction and showed an ionization potential of 6.25 ± 0.15 eV and a solid-state photoluminescence efficiency of 17%. It was used as electron-conducting layer in a LED but failed to give significant electroluminescence. The optical energy gap for both polymers was 3.0 eV. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

- 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.

- The electronic structure of the spin injecting La0.7Sr 0.3MnO3 (LSMO) thin film contacts was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Clean LSMO surfaces were obtained by annealing at 450°C in vacuum, which additionally stabilized the oxygen content determined from the exchange splitting of the Mn(3s) x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The valence-band structure of the films showed features of metallic LSMO. The work-function measruements of clean, annealed films yield lower values due to oxygen depletion upon annealing.

- A study was conducted on the effects of chemical doping on the chemical and electronic structure of condensed molecular solid films of the ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) trimer using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Phenyl-capped EDOT oligomers were potential candidates for molecular electronics applications and serve as model molecules for PEDOT. By combining UPS, XPS, and NEXAFS, a clear picture of the doping induced changes in the electronic structure of phenyl-capped EDOT-trimer was obtained.

- The electronic structure of conjugated polymers and interfaces in polymer-based electronics were analyzed. Fine structure were observed in the region of the first resonance with pi-final state symmetry, between 284.1 eV and 285.8 eV. The electronic transitions from the non-dispersed C(1s) level to specific parts of the unoccupied band structure were generated. It was found that for a dispersing valence band, in the presence of a core-hole, a given photon energy corresponded to an excitation into a state with a distinct wave vectors.

- Highly ordered, several nanometers thick films of alkylated large planar, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have been grown on semi-metallic molybdenum disulfide substrates. The films are characterized by a two-dimensional lateral arrangement of columns standing at the surface on a macroscopic scale. The self-assembly of such insulated columns of face-to-face disks with surface-induced vertical alignment has been achieved directly from solution processing. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectra revealed a highly anisotropic quasi-one-dimensional electronic structure with an extended π-electronic wave function. An intermolecular dispersion of the highest occupied band of at least 0.15 eV along the stacking direction has been measured. A partial breakdown of the concept of quasimomentum due to the finite size of the nano-objects perpendicular to the stacks is observed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A combination of x-ray absorption and resonant photoemission (RPE) spectroscopy has been used to study the electronic structure of the one-dimensional conjugated polymer poly (para-phenylenevinylene) in nonordered (as prepared) thin films. The dispersion of RPE features for the decay to localized and delocalized bands are qualitatively different. A theory for band dispersion of RPE in polymers is given, showing the important roles of electronic state localization and vibrational (phonon) excitations for the character of the dispersion.

- Ordered films of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and porphyrins with functional (e.g. thiophene) side-groups are good candidates for (opto-)electronic applications where fast charge separation and transport are required. Such highly ordered thin films of PAHs, including discotic hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) and C-132-C-16,C-4, as well as brominated functionalized porphyrin molecules have been grown from solutions on semi-metallic molybdenum disulfide substrates and characterized by angle-resolved valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. A vertical growth of self-assembled supramolecular columns perpendicular to the basal plane of the substrate along with their lateral ordering on the surface has been achieved. Annealing made it possible to increase the structural order in the HBC columns, with molecules positioned at a regular offset from the columnar axis. This permitted the formation of extended pi-electronic states with a bandwidth of at least 0.1-0.2 eV at room temperature. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Phenyl-capped EDOT trimer : its chemical and electronic structure and its interface with aluminum

Ingår i: Journal of Physical Chemistry B. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 1520-6106 .- 1520-5207. ; 107:39, s. 10793-10800

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The chemical and electronic properties of a phenyl-capped 3,4-(ethylenedioxy)thiophene trimer (EDOT trimer) and its interface formation with aluminum have been studied. Thin EDOT trimer films were prepared on clean gold substrates through in-situ vapor deposition. Aluminum was deposited stepwise on top of the EDOT trimer, and the initial stages of interface formation were investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy. The organic/metal interface formed was not completely abrupt; some degree of diffusion of aluminum into the EDOT trimer film occurred. The aluminum atoms preferentially react with the α-position of the trimer (C−S carbon atoms) forming covalent bonds. The formation of these covalent bonds causes a break in the π-conjugation of the system due to the introduction of sp3 defects. The charge density also is somewhat redistributed within the oligomer as a whole, mainly affecting the neighboring atoms: sulfur and β-position of the trimer (C=C−O carbon atoms). Once the C−S carbon sites are saturated, the aluminum instead reacts with the less favorable carbon atom of the ethylene bridge (C−O−C carbons). Worth noting is the decrease in work function from 5.2 eV for sputter cleaned gold to 4.1 eV upon deposition of the EDOT trimer. Our results have several implications for organic electronics. The sp3 defects introduced by the aluminum−EDOT contacting will influence the charge injection into the material across the EDOT trimer/aluminum interface negatively. The change in work function could potentially be used to modify gold contacts for electron injection into molecules with low electron affinity.

The investigation of separability of particles smaller than 5 mm by eddy-current separation technology - Part II: novel design concepts

- Separability and separation mechanisms of small particles in modern rotating type eddy-current separators (ECSs) were discussed in Part I. In order to address problems associated with this design concept, a number of novel ECSs, each with a unique design, have been developed. Part II reports on investigation into the separability and separation principles for various materials smaller than 5 mm, including fine copper wires, in three new devices: the redesigned Delft vertical ECS (VECS), prototype TNO ECS and a laboratory wet ECS (WECS). It is found that TNO ECS and WECS are more practical tools for separation of small metal particles. In particular, WECS is able to recover approximately 80% of very fine copper wires, with 0.5 mm diameter and 2 mm length. Separation principles for WECS are discussed in greater detail than other design concepts in the present study. It appears that the fledgling WECS will be most promising in the future for processing small particles. Further, aluminum separation from the -10 mm fraction of electronic scrap has been carried out using TNO ECS. It transpires that both the recovery and the grade of the aluminum concentrate are superior to those obtained with the rotary belted-drum ECS of any type.

- Fluorene-based copolymers are currently attracting considerable interest for use in a wide range of optoelectronic devices. Here, we present the results of a joint quantum-chemical and experimental characterization of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of an alternating fluorene-triphenylamine copolymer. We compare the results from this study with those from similar studies of polyfluorene. Although calculations are performed for the gas phase and experiments are performed on the solid state, the results from the two methodologies are in good agreement: the relevant electronic levels, HOMO and LUMO, of polyfluorene are found to be destabilized by incorporation of triphenylamine units in the conjugated backbone, whereas the optical properties of polyfluorene chains are largely unperturbed by the presence of triphenylamine.

Coulomb interactions in rubidium-doped tetracyanoethylene : a model system for organometallic magnets
- 2004

- The electronic structure of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) has been studied both in its pristine state and upon stepwise rubidium intercalation, by UV and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as with theoretical calculations. The intercalated system may serve as a model for TCNE-based organometallic magnets, of which the electronic structure remains largely unknown. Rubidium is found to n-dope the TCNE molecules forming Rb+TCNE- with almost complete charge transfer. Calculations show a spin splitting of the former highest occupied molecular orbital level upon Rb doping. We see no evidence for the formation of doubly charged TCNE molecules. A gap opens up at the Fermi energy for Rb+TCNE- due to on-site Coulomb interactions. We estimate the on-site Coulomb interaction of amorphous TCNE doped with Rb to be ∼2 eV.
