Kz. Xing et al., THE ELECTRONIC AND GEOMETRIC STRUCTURES OF NEUTRAL AND POTASSIUM-DOPED POLY[3-(4-OCTYLPHENYL)THIOPHENE] STUDIED BY PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY, Synthetic metals, 76(1-3), 1996, pp. 263-267
The electronic and geometric structures of poly [3-(4-octylphenyl)thio
phene] have been studied by X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectr
oscopy (XPS and UPS, respectively). Thermochromic effects, and new cha
rge induced states generated by potassium doping, have been observed b
y direct UPS measurements. The experimental results are in very good a
greement with the results of theoretical quantum chemical calculations
performed with the Austin Model 1 semi-empirical model and the valenc
e-effective Hamiltonian pseudo-potential model.
