Abstract
We present photoluminescence studies under electric field pulses of self-as sembled multilayer films containing alternate layers of conjugated polymer and nonconjugated insulating polymer (spacer layers). We demonstrate photol uminescence quenching in the presence of an electric field which decreases with the increase of the spacer layer thickness. This is attributed to quan tum size effects.
