Py. Mabboux et al., SPIN DYNAMICS IN POLY-(3-ALKYLTHIOPHENES) AND IN A BLOCK POLYSTYRENE-POLYTHIOPHENE COPOLYMER, Synthetic metals, 69(1-3), 1995, pp. 361-362
Proton relaxation time T-1 has been measured versus the frequency on s
amples of polybithiophene, poly-(dimethyl-tetrathiophene), poly-(-3-he
xyld(13)-thiophene) and on a block deuterated polystyrene - polythioph
ene copolymer. It is shown that the polaron motion is a quasi 1D diffu
sion for all polymers. Intra- and interchain diffusion coefficients ar
e obtained. Anisotropy appears to be very high in poly-(hexyl-thiophen
e). The results are compared taking into account structural aspects of
the compounds.
