Thermally stimulated photoluminescence in poly(2,5-dioctoxy p-phenylene vinylene)

摘要

Results of thermally stimulated photoluminescence (TSL) measurements in poly(2,5-dioctoxy p-phenylene vinylene) (DOO-PPV) are reported. The obtained results are analyzed in terms of the hopping model of TSL in disordered organic materials. It is shown that the experimentally obtained TSL curve can be fitted on the basis of a double-peak Gaussian density-of-states distribution. The upper peak is associated with intrinsic localized states while the lower one can be ascribed to aggregates. The latter assignment is also supported by measurements of steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence in DOO-PPV films and solutions. Possible mechanisms of charge carrier photogeneration in DOO-PPV are discussed.
