Y. Yoshida et al., Color-tunable highly polarized emissions from uniaxially aligned thin films of thiophene/phenylene co-oligomers, ADVAN MATER, 12(21), 2000, pp. 1587
Epitaxial growth of thiophene/phenylene co-oligomers (e.g., see Figure) on
uniaxially oriented poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) is reported. The emission prope
rties of these co-oligomer thin films are investigated and compared to thos
e of films grown on quartz. Color-tunable emission highly polarized along t
he direction of orientation of the PPP is observed in the former case, whil
e isotropic emission occurs on the quartz substrate.
