Photovoltaic cells are an established and increasingly important technology for the
production of renewable energy. 1 Despite the expanding use of inorganic semiconductors …

Charge injection at the interface between metallic electrodes and organic semiconductors
plays a crucial role in the performance of organic (opto-) electronic devices. This article …

Discussing theory and transport, synthesis, processing, properties, and applications, this
second edition of a standard resource covers advances in the field of electrically conducting …

The exciton binding energy is one of the key parameters that govern the physics of many
opto-electronic organic devices. It is shown that the previously reported values for the …

Polypara-phenylene vinylene PPV and its derivatives are widely studied due to their
semiconducting and luminescent properties. Within the class of PPVs, poly2-methoxy-5-2 …

Many significant fundamental concepts and practical applications have developed since the
publication of the best-selling second edition of the Handbook of Conducting Polymers. Now …

Luminescence in organic conjugated polymers is considered in this article, which tries to
clarify some of the issues related to the nature of the emitting species. A comparison of …

We report electroabsorption measurements of built-in electric fields and internal
photoemission measurements of Schottky barriers to determine the charge transfer and …

Singlet molecular oxygen (a 'Ag) is shown to be a reactive intermediate in the photoinduced
oxidative decomposition of the electroluminescent material poly (2, 5-bis (5, 6 …

We report scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements of the threshold energy for
injecting electrons or holes into thin, conjugated polymer films deposited on Au (111) …
