Abstract
A low bandgap polymer based on a carbon-bridged dithienyl monomer has been prepared by potentiostatic electrodeposition. Microscopic analysis of the p olymer revealed a generally smooth morphology with scattered features protr uding from the surface. Raman mapping shows the presence of a thickness dep endent fluorescence in the film. Al/polymer/ITO Schottky diodes based on th is new polymer show a small degree of rectification.
