Amplitude Modes in Mixed Polymers Trans [C2H2)y(C2D2) 1-y]x

Resonant Raman Scattering and doping induced IR absorption are explained in terms of amplitude modes of the 1-d gap. The RRS frequencies and relative intensities of the renormalized phonon lines at the various concentrations are readily obtained.     

Linear and nonlinear photoexcitation dynamics in pi-conjugated polymers

Linear and nonlinear recombination kinetics with various lifetime distributions were identified for long-lived photoexcitations in a series of pi-conjugated polymer films using modulation frequency and excitation intensity dependencies of the photoinduced absorption. This includes monomolecular, bimolecular, and defect-limited recombination processes that lead to saturation. Using generalized kinetics parameters, we found characteristic plots for all recombination processes. Specifically, the bimolecular recombination process shows superlinear intensity dependence away from the steady state; on the contrary, dispersive bimolecular recombination leads to sublinear dependence.     

Isotope effect in resonant Raman scattering and induced IR spectra of trans-polyacetylene

We present a full explanation of the isotope effect in resonant Raman scattering, doping induced, and photo-induced IR-active vibrations of previously reported data in trans-(CH)_x, (¹³CH)_x and (CD)_x. The interpretation is given in terms of Raman scattering from amplitude modes of the dimerized chains and absorption by charged induced IR-active modes. It is shown that the bare phonon frequencies are properly modified by the isotope mass whereas the observed frequencies are derived by the dressed phonon propagator, and therefore do not follow the usual mass rule.     

Ultrafast response of surface electromagnetic waves in an aluminum film perforated with subwavelength hole arrays

The ultrafast dynamics of surface electromagnetic waves photogenerated on aluminum film perforated with subwavelength arrays of holes was studied in the visible spectral range by the technique of transient photomodulation with approximately 100 fs time resolution. We observed a pronounced blueshift of the resonant transmission band that reveals the important role of plasma attenuation in the optical response of nanohole arrays. The blueshift is inconsistent with plasmonic mechanism of extraordinary transmission and points to the crucial role of interference in the formation of transmission bands. The transient photomodulation spectra were successfully modeled within the Boltzmann equation approach for the electron-phonon relaxation dynamics, involving nonequilibrium hot electrons and quasiequilibrium phonons.     

磁场增强的La2/3 Sr1/3 MnO3有机半导体界面载流子注入

文章作者制备了以多种π-共轭有机半导体（orgnanic semincondutor,简称OSEC）为中间层,La2/3Sr1/3MnO3（LSMO）和另一铁磁或非磁性金属为电极的有机二极管,测量了器件的磁致电阻和磁电致发光效应.器件显示了与LSMO电极类似的负磁电阻效应,但是它的电阻变化比LSMO电极本身的变化大3个数量级,而且器件还有正的磁电致发光效应.文章作者认为,这些磁场效应源于磁场作用下LSMO费米能级的异常移动,导致载流子在LSMO-OSEC界面注入的增强。
