共轭高分子链中极化子间相互作用对电荷迁移率的影响

基于综合考虑了电子与声子以及电子与电子相互作用的理论模型,采用数值方法计算了在外电场作用下共轭高聚物分子中电荷的迁移率,讨论了大小极化子共存并相互作用对分子链内电荷迁移率的影响。研究发现,电荷迁移率明显受大小极化子的载荷性质的影响,当大小极化子具有相同电性时,在低电场范围内,分子内电荷迁移率由大极化子运动性质主导,而在高电场范围内,分子内电荷迁移率由小极化子主导;另一方面,当大小极化子具有相反电性时,电荷迁移率只由大极化子运动性质主导,与电场强度无关。此外,还讨论了电子与电子相互作用对电荷迁移率"的影响。     

共轭高分子链中大极化子与小极化子的弹性碰撞

基于Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH)模型,考虑电子-电子相互作用,以及在哈密顿量中引入Brazovskii-Kivova对称破缺项,采用动力学演化的方法研究了在外电场作用下共轭高聚物分子链中大极化子与小极化子之间的弹性散射过程.研究发现,载流子的载荷性质不但决定大小极化子之间的相互作用性质,也深刻地影响了其发生散射后的载流子输运性质.在较低电场的作用下,当两载流子电性相同时,发生碰撞后,小极化子将推动着大极化子一起运动;而当两者电性相反时,碰撞后,大极化子将拖曳着小极化子一起运动.当电场强度超过临界值时,将产生量子隧穿效应,即,大小极化子相互迅速穿透,且不受载流子的载荷影响.

基于扩展Su-Shrieffer-Heeger(SSH)模型,通过自洽计算的数值方法,研究了共轭高聚物链表现为孤子态和大极化子态两种不同晶格形态时链内的杂质分布情况,计算结果显示,分立的畴壁可导致高聚物链中形成多个稳定的势阱,有利于杂质在链中聚集分布.此外,还研究了在较高浓度的掺杂条件下,共轭高聚物链内的杂质分布规律.结果显示,杂质倾向于在中心区形成高浓度分布,而在链端区,杂质更倾向于离散分布.该研究表明,高浓度掺杂下杂质分布具有稳定的特征,晶格形态对杂质分布具有显著的影响,这些结论可为实验上操控杂质在共轭高聚物中的分布提供一定的帮助.     

有机共轭高聚物的分子链间耦合局域态

有机共轭高分子中,孤子、极化子及激子都是基本的元激发,对解释有机聚合材料的导电发光特性起着主导作用.孤子、极化子以及激子等在晶格位形上都是各具特征的空间局域状态.本文将讨论在有机共轭高分子中存在着另一种局域态——链间耦合局域态,这种局域态是由于分子链间的相互作用所导致,在相互作用分子链端附近形成势阱,可有效束缚电子和空穴等带电粒子.     

共轭高聚物链中极化子生成的掺杂效应

在紧束缚近似下,用绝热动力学演化的方法研究了共轭高聚物链中低浓度掺杂对极化子生成位置的影响.研究发现,掺入杂质与注入电子的先后次序不同,极化子生成的位置会有很大差别,先注入电子后掺入杂质的情况下,在链端自由区与过渡区,极化子生成位置受杂质影响较小;而先杂质后电子的次序下,极化子的生成位置明显受到杂质的控制.该研究表明共轭高聚物链中极化子的生成位置可通过调节掺杂与电荷注入的次序加以控制,从而可达到间接改变载流子迁移率的目的.

共轭高聚物中极化子散射引起的激子迁移(英文)

基于Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH)模型并考虑到Brazovskii-Kirova对称破缺项,研究了共轭聚合物中注入极化子和激子在外电场下的散射过程.研究发现在外场作用下极化子总是能通过激子,而激子的运动行为则密切依赖于电场的强度.如果电场大于临界电场3.0×10~5V/cm,那么激子与极化子散射后并不发生任何运动;然而当电场小于此临界值时,激子将在极化子运动的相反方向上有一个明显的位移.激子在弱电场下所发生的这种迁移运动,是由于同极化子发生了慢散射作用.     

共轭聚合物中链内无序效应对极化子输运的影响

基于扩展的Su-Schrieffer-Heeger紧束缚模型, 利用非绝热动力学方法研究了链内无序效应对共轭聚合物中极化子输运机制的影响. 研究发现, 极化子的输运由外加电场和链内无序效应共同作用的结果所决定. 在一般情况下, 链内无序效应不利于极化子的输运, 但随着电场强度的增大, 无序对极化子输运的影响减小. 关键词： 共轭聚合物 极化子输运 链内无序     

共轭高聚物中极化子形成的自洽迭代收敛性

用自洽迭代的方法模拟了一维共轭高聚物链中极化子的形成,得出有机物链的初始晶格位形与自洽迭代收敛性的关系。对于初始晶格位形为键长有规律交错变化的一维晶格,闭链的收敛精度远高于开链的收敛精度,表明有机物链越长收敛越慢。对于闭链,降低晶格的对称性,有利于自洽迭代收敛于极化子。在有机物链中出现杂质的情况下,我们发现杂质所处的位置同收敛性密切相关,当掺杂发生在有机物链的中心附近区域时,自洽迭代单调收敛;而当掺杂发生在其它区域时,收敛过程出现波动性,导致收敛过程变慢。我们的研究表明,一维有机分子链中载流子的生成同初始晶格的位形与分子链所处的环境密切相关,这预示着在更复杂的有机物结构中,可能存在新型的复合载流子。     

Monte Carlo analysis of polymer translocation with deterministic and noisy electric fields

Polymer translocation through the nanochannel is studied by means of a Monte Carlo approach, in the presence of a static or oscillating external electric voltage. The polymer is described as a chain molecule according to the two-dimensional “bond fluctuation model”. It moves through a piecewise linear channel, which mimics a nanopore in a biological membrane. The monomers of the chain interact with the walls of the channel, modelled as a reflecting barrier. We analyze the polymer dynamics, concentrating on the translocation time through the channel, when an external electric field is applied. By introducing a source of coloured noise, we analyze the effect of correlated random fluctuations on the polymer translocation dynamics.     

Dynamics of polaron in a polymer chain with impurities

In a polymer chain, an extra electron or hole distorts the chain to form a charged polaron, which is the charge carrier being responsible for conductivity. When an intermediate-strength electric field is applied, the polaron will be accelerated for a short time and then move at a constant velocity. The dynamical process of polaron in a polymer chain with impurities is simulated within a non-adiabatic evolution method, in which the electron wave function is described by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation while the polymer lattice is treated classically by a Newtonian equation of motion. We have considered two kinds of dynamical processes, one is the field-induced depinning of a charged polaron, which is initially bound by an attractive impurity; and the other is the scattering of a polaron from an impurity. In the former process, the charged polaron will depart from the attractive impurity only for the applied field with strength over a threshold, otherwise, the polaron will oscillate around the impurity. In the latter process, the charged polaron moves through the impurity in the presence of an electric field while it will be bounced back for a repulsive impurity or trapped to oscillate around an attractive impurity in the case that the applied electric field is weak and just be present for the polaron acceleration.Received: 4 June 2004, Published online: 14 December 2004PACS: 71.38.-k Polarons and electron-phonon interactions - 72.80.Le Polymers; organic compounds (including organic semiconductors)     

Dynamics of Polaron at Polymer/Polymer Interface

The migration of a polaron at polymer/polymer interface is believed to be of fundamental importance for the transport and light-emitting properties of conjugated polymer-based light emitting diodes. Based on the one- dimensional tight-binding Su-Schrieffer-Heeger （SSH） model, we have investigated polaron dynamics in a one- dimensional polymer/polymer system by using a nonadiabatic evolution method. In particular, we focus on how a polaron migrates through the conjugated polymer/polymer interface in the presence of external electric field. The results show that the migration of polaron at the interface depends sensitively on the hopping integrals, the potential barrier induced by the energy mismatch, and the strength of applied electric field which increases the polaron kinetic energy.     

Polaron effects on the optical absorptions in cylindrical quantum dots with parabolic potential

The optical absorptions considering polaron effects in cylindrical quantum dots (QDs) with an applied electric field are theoretically studied. It is shown that pronounced optical absorptions dependence of the quantum dot parameters can be obtained. Moreover, the theoretical values of the optical absorptions obviously increase when considering the electron–LO–phonon interaction.     

Polaron dynamics in a system of coupled conjugated polymer chains

The motion of excitations such as polarons is believed to be of fundamental importance for the transport properties of conjugated polymers for the use in, e.g., polymer based LED's. We have investigated polaron dynamics in a system of coupled polymer chains in the presence of an external electric field. In particular, we focus on how a polaron migrates through the polymer lattice, i.e., the situation in which a polaron reaches a chain end and is scattered to the surrounding chains. We show that the outcome of this event strongly depends on the strength of the electric field, and we identify three different cases for the polaron migration.     

Electron motion in a Holstein molecular chain in an electric field

A charge motion in an electric field in a Holstein molecular chain is modeled in the absence of dissipation. It is shown that in a weak electric field a Holstein polaron moves uniformly experiencing small oscillations of its shape. These oscillations are associated with the chain’s discreteness and caused by the presence of Peierls-Nabarro potential there. The critical value of the electric field intensity at which the moving polaron starts oscillating at Bloch frequency is found. It is shown that the polaron can demonstrate Bloch oscillations retaining its shape. It is also shown that a breathing mode of Bloch oscillations can arise. In all cases the polaron motion along the chain is infinite.
