Y. Shimoi et al., Electroabsorption of electroluminescent polymer poly(p-phenylene vinylene)in a wide spectral region, J LUMINESC, 87-9, 2000, pp. 751-753
We investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, electroabsorption (E
A) spectra of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) over a wide spectral region in ord
er to clarify the nature of multiple absorption bands in visible-UV region.
Observed EA spectra and their polarization dependence of poly[2-metoxy,5-(
2'-ethyl-hexoxy)-1,4 phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) are compared with the ca
lculated spectra within the single configuration-interaction method. We dis
cuss the origin of each absorption band. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All
