Photophysics of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) films

Abstract: We report on time resolved photoluminescence (PLRT) measurements in poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) films irradiated by laser in the presence of air. We observe a PL intensity enhancement and a biexponential decay dynamics of PL signal for all irradiated films. These results can be understood in terms of a chain shortening process due to carbonyl incorporation and formation of an energy profile that extends and migrates into the film and enables efficient spectral diffusion of excited carriers to a non-degrad… Show more

“…Finally, we suggest two possible explanations for the matrix dependence of the modulation depth. First, it is well-known [37][38][39][40] that photoinduced formation of carbonyls in PPV films in the presence of oxygen results in strong quenching of the fluorescence. The proposed mechanism is that the carbonyls accept an electron from a singlet excitation on the PPV chain; the resulting on-chain hole polarons may then efficiently quench singlets by an energy-transfer mechanism 13 leading to strongly reduced steady-state fluorescence.…”

“…Para a solução enriquecida com N 2 , Figura 3a, um máximo de fotoluminescência é atingido após a dose de 276 J/cm 2 , enquanto que para a solução enriquecida com O 2 , Figura 3b, este máximo é atingido após a dose de 92 J/cm 2 . Este aumento pode estar relacionado possivelmente a: i) um processo de "fotopolimerização", ou seja, uma polimerização induzida por luz em virtude da etapa final do processo de polimerização (eliminação) em algumas porções da cadeia polimérica não ter sido realizada por completo; e/ou ii) uma eficiente difusão espectral de cargas excitadas dentro da cadeia polimérica ainda não degradada por um processo de transferência de energia Förster como já relatado na literatura [14] .…”
