Observation of multiple step de-excitation in luminescent single conjugated polymers
Abstract
The fluorescence intensity fluctuation and polarization modulation of spin-cast single fluorescent conjugated polymers of 2,5-dioctyloxy p-phenylene vinylene (DOO-PPV) with length of the order of the persistence length have been studied. The results indicate that this type of polymer behaves like a collection of semi-independent excitons, with dipoles aligned predominately in the same direction. This suggests that this type of polymer can be …
