Steady state and transient photoluminescence in poly-p-phenylene vinylene films and nanofibers

J Chem Phys. 2009 Mar 28;130(12):124706. doi: 10.1063/1.3097549.

Abstract

We report in this paper experimental data on steady state and transient photoluminescence of poly-p-phenylene vinylene in the form of nanofibers prepared with a template method and converted at 110 degrees C. Results are compared to those obtained from films of different thicknesses converted at the same temperature. Data are analyzed by a model of bimodal distribution of conjugation lengths and the photoluminescence band shapes, evaluated in the framework of this model, are also presented.
