The effect of interchain coupling on the reverse polarization of a high-energy exciton in conjugated polymers

By using the one-dimensional extended Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model, we investigate the effect of interchain coupling on the reverse polarization of a high-energy exciton in conjugated polymers. Our results show that, without interchain coupling, the high-energy exciton is completely localized in one chain, which could be reversely polarized by an electric field. However, when taking into account interchain coupling, the high-energy exciton tends to extend between two chains. Its reverse polarization would be reduced accordingly. We also find that the interchain coupling effect is more obvious for polymers with a stronger non-degenerate confinement. Besides this, the effect of electron–electron interaction is also discussed.     

Effect of interchain coupling on a biexciton in organic polymers

The effect of interchain coupling on the formation and the stability of a biexciton is studied in poly (p-phenylene vinylene) chains in the framework of the tight-binding approach. We obtain an intrachain exciton and biexciton as well as an interchain exciton and biexciton through a double-photon excitation. It is found that a biexciton is energetically favourable to two single excitons even when there exists an interchain coupling. There is a turnover value t_⊥C of the interchain coupling for the formation of a biexciton, beyond which two excitons are combined into one biexciton. The binding energy of a biexciton is calculated to decrease with the increase of interchain coupling, which indicates that a biexciton is relatively stable in polymers with a weak interchain coupling. The conclusion is consistent with the experimental observations. In addition, a suggestion about how to improve the yielding efficiency or the formation of biexcitons in actual applications is given.

Förster energy transfer from a semiconductor quantum well to an organic material overlayer

We predict an efficient electronic energy transfer from an excited semiconductor quantum well to optically active organic molecules of the nearby medium (substrate and/or overlayer). The energy transfer mechanism is of the F?rster type and, at semiconductor-organic distances of about 50 ?, can easily be as fast as 10-100 ps, which is about an order of magnitude shorter than the effective exciton lifetime in an isolated quantum well. In such conditions, the Wannier-Mott exciton luminescence is quenched and the organic luminescence is efficiently turned on. We consider both free as well as localized quantum well excitons discussing the dependence of the energy transfer rate on temperature and localization length. A similar mechanism for the non-radiative energy transfer to the organic overlayer molecules from unbound electron-hole pairs excited in the 2D continuum is shown to be much less competitive with respect to other relaxation channels inside the inorganic quantum well (in particular, 2D exciton formation).

Electron-hole diagrams versus exciton diagrams: the simplest problem on interacting excitons

We study the interaction of an exciton with a distant metal, which is the simplest problem on interacting excitons: The semiconductor and metal electrons being “different” species, we do not have to worry about the tricky consequences of Pauli exclusion between identical carriers, which appear in any other problem on interacting excitons. We show how the exciton absorption, in the presence of semiconductor-metal interaction, can be derived in a very simple and transparent way from an exciton diagram procedure, provided that we use the appropriate exciton-metal interaction vertex, which contains the scattering from an exciton state to another exciton state under a Coulomb excitation. We also show that the resolution of this problem using standard electron-hole diagrams is dreadfully complicated at the lowest order in the semiconductor-metal interaction already, preventing a full calculation of the exciton-metal coupling from this usual technique.

Dynamics of interchain delocalized polarons in polymers

Polaron dynamics in a system of highly ordered conjugated polymer chains is investigated based on the tight binding model. With the interchain coupling enhancing,it takes longer time for the electron added to the system to induce a localized polaron state. Beyond a certain strength of the interchain coupling,the electron evolves into a two-dimensional delocalized polaron state. Dynamical simulations suggest that the well-ordered organic molecule systems with two-dimensional polarons exhibit higher mobilitie...

Dynamics of photogenerated polarons in conjugated polymers

Within a tight-binding electron-phonon interacting model, we investigate the dynamics of photoexcitations to address the generation mechanism of charged polarons in conjugated polymers by using a nonadiabatic evolution method. Besides the neutral polaron exciton which is well known, we identify a novel product of lattice dynamic relaxation from the photoexcited states in a few hundreds of femtoseconds, which is a mixed state composed of both charged polarons and neutral excitons. Our results show that the charged polarons are generated directly with a yield of about 25%, which is independent of the excitation energies, in good agreement with results from experiments. Effects of the conjugation length are also discussed.     

Exciton-phonon coupling strength in single wall carbon nanotubes

The coupling strength of the exciton and different phonons, including the radial breathing mode (RBM), longitudinal (LO) and transverse (TO) optical phonons, are calculated for different diameter single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in the framework of tight-binding model. It is found that the exciton-phonon coupling strength with the LO mode or RBM shows a clear (2n+m)-family behavior due to the trigonal warping effect, but it with the TO mode remains to be zero. In the same SWNT, the E₂₂ exciton-phonon coupling strength is found to be slightly smaller than that of E₁₁ exciton. Finally, the exciton-RBM-phonon coupling strengths for several SWNTs are found to be in good agreement with the recent experimental data [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 037405 (2007)].     

Phase diagram of the Holstein polaron in one dimension

The behavior of the 1D Holstein polaron is described, with emphasis on lattice coarsening effects, by distinguishing between adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions to the local correlations and dispersion properties. The original and unifying systematization of the crossovers between the different polaron behaviors, usually considered in the literature, is obtained in terms of quantum to classical, weak coupling to strong coupling, adiabatic to nonadiabatic, itinerant to self-trapped polarons and large to small polarons. It is argued that the relationship between various aspects of polaron states can be specified by five regimes: the weak-coupling regime, the regime of large adiabatic polarons, the regime of small adiabatic polarons, the regime of small nonadiabatic (Lang-Firsov) polarons, and the transitory regime of small pinned polarons for which the adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions are inextricably mixed in the polaron dispersion properties. The crossovers between these five regimes are positioned in the parameter space of the Holstein Hamiltonian.

Stark effect of negatively and positively charged excitons in semiconductor quantum wells

We study the effect of an electric field applied normal to the layers on the binding energy of charged excitons (or trions) in GaAs quantum wells. We find that, in contrast to the neutral exciton, their binding energy is sharply reduced by modest electric fields. The effect is stronger for the positively charged exciton than the negatively charged one. The ionisation of the excess carrier is explained by the field-induced polarisation of the electron and hole subband wave functions.     

Optically detected magnetic resonance studies of luminescence‐quenching processes in π‐conjugated materials and organic light‐emitting devices

It is widely recognized that nonradiative quenching of excitons by other excitons and polarons become the dominant decay mechanism of these excitons at high excitation densities. These quenching processes cause the roll‐off in the efficiency of organic light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) and prevent lasing at high injection current densities. This review presents the optically‐detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) evidence for these photoluminescence‐ and electroluminescence‐quenching processes. And while it provides such evidence for quenching of singlet excitons by polarons and triplet excitons, it reveals the central role of the strongly spin‐dependent annihilation of triplet excitons by polarons, since under normal excitation conditions the steady‐state polaron and triplet exciton populations are 100–10⁴ times the singlet exciton population. In addition, it also suggests that quenching of singlet excitons by bipolarons, likely stabilized by a counterpolaron or countercharge at specific sites, may also be a significant quenching mechanism that also affects the charge transport properties.

Exciton-phonon coupling in indirect gap AgBr nanocrystals

The resonance Raman scattering observed in the exciton region of indirect AgBr nanocrystals with mean particle radius R ≈ 5 nm is analyzed. Considering the processes as absorption followed by emission and calculating the size dependent exciton energies by the donor-like exciton model of Ekimov et al. [1], the 1TO(L) and 2TO(L)&LO(Γ) resonance behavior can be well-reproduced. The analysis of the Raman spectral lineshape based on linear exciton-phonon coupling shows a substantial increase of coupling strength with excitation photon energy. It is attributed to enhanced acoustic and surface phonon interaction of higher exciton states.

Free and bound excitons in silver bromide under hydrostatic pressure

Abstract

Employing resonant Raman and luminescence spectroscopy, various exciton states and phonon modes are studied at low temperature in AgBr under hydrostatic pressure up to 0.7 GPa. The deformation potential for the indirect free exciton gap and mode Grüneisen parameters for various phonons are determined. Excitons bound to neutral donors and isoelectronic iodine are found to essentially derive from L-point valence band states.     

Competition of disorder and interchain hopping in a two-chain Hubbard model

We study the interplay of Anderson localization and interaction in a two chain Hubbard ladder allowing for arbitrary ratio of disorder strength to interchain coupling. We obtain three different types of spin gapped localized phases depending on the strength of disorder: a pinned 4k _F Charge Density Wave (CDW) for weak disorder, a pinned 2k _F CDW^π for intermediate disorder and two independently pinned single chain 2k _F CDW for strong disorder. Confinement of electrons can be obtained as a result of strong disorder or strong attraction. We give the full phase diagram as a function of disorder, interaction strength and interchain hopping. We also study the influence of interchain hopping on localization length and show that localization is enhanced by a small interchain hopping but suppressed by a large interchain hopping.

Localization of excitons in weakly disordered semiconductor structures: A model study

Localization of the center‐of‐mass (com) motion of an exciton in a disordered semiconductor structure is studied theoretically by focusing on nonlinear optical spectroscopy. A one‐dimensional tight‐binding model with diagonal disorder is applied and the Coulomb interaction is treated consistently. In the ordered situation the center‐of‐mass momentum (K) selection rule leads to only the lowest transition for K = 0. The break down of the com‐K‐selection rule produces the well known asymmetric excitonic lines of disordered semiconductors. The coupling between the lowest dominant transition to this modified com‐continuum yields Fano‐like features in the nonlinear spectra.
