Polymer Semiconductor

Interest in high-spin organic materials is driven by opportunities to enable far-reaching fundamental science and develop technologies that integrate light element spin, magnetic, and quantum functionalities. Although extensively studied, the intrinsic instability of these materials complicates synthesis and precludes an understanding of how fundamental properties associated with the nature of the chemical bond and electron pairing in organic materials systems manifest in practical applications. Here, we demonstrate a conjugated polymer semiconductor, based on alternating cyclopentadithiophene and thiadiazoloquinoxaline units, that is a ground-state triplet in its neutral form. Electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic susceptibility measurements are consistent with a high-to-low spin energy gap of 9.30 × 10−3 kcal mol−1. The strongly correlated electronic structure, very narrow bandgap, intramolecular ferromagnetic coupling, high electrical conductivity, solution processability, and robust stability open access to a broad variety of technologically relevant applications once thought of as beyond the current scope of organic semiconductors.

AbstractOrganic semiconductors exhibiting complementary-type carrier mobility are the key components for the development of the field of “plastic electronics”. We present here a novel series of αω- and isomerically pure β,β'-diperfluorohexyl-substituted thiophene and study the impact of fluoroalkyl substitution and conjugation length vìs-à-vìs the corresponding fluorinefree analogues. Trends between the fluorinated and fluorine-free families in molecular packing, HOMO-LUMO gap, and π-π interactions are found to be strikingly similar. TFT measurements indicate that all members of the fluorinated series are n-type semiconductors

ABSTRACTWe report combined scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) and near-field photocurrent (NPC) imaging of a binary conjugated polymer blend. We find phase separation on a scale of about 5 μm, with a good correspondence between topographic, fluorescence, and photocurrent images. We excited at 488 nm, a wavelength at which only one of the two polymers absorbs light. Under this illumination regions that are high in the topography image show high luminescence and photocurrent.The photoluminescence (PL) efficiencies in the different regions of the sample were determined by calculating the absorbed energy using the Bethe-Bouwkamp model, and knowledge about the chemical composition of the different phases of the polymer blend. The calculation also allowed us to conclude that the photocurrent generation efficiency (current/absorbed photons) of the different polymer phases is comparable within the limit of confidence of this experiment (±10 %).
