Probing Exciton Delocalization in Organic Semiconductors: Insight from Time-Resolved Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Magnetophotoselection Experiments
摘要： Delocalization of excited states of organic semiconductors is directly related to their e?ciency in devices. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy provides unique capabilities in this respect because of its high spectral resolution and capability to probe the geometry and extent of excitons. Using magnetophotoselection experiments, the mode of exciton delocalization, along the backbone or parallel to the π?π stacking direction of the conjugated polymers, can be revealed. We demonstrate the robustness of this approach by applying it to building blocks of a prototypical conjugated polymer showing a symmetry of their excited states being far from ideal for this experiment. This renders magnetophotoselection superior to other approaches because it is applicable to a wealth of other organic semiconductors. The insight gained into exciton delocalization is crucial to the structure?function relationship of organic semiconductors and directly relevant for developing highly e?cient materials.

Occupied and unoccupied electronic structures of an L-cysteine film studied by core-absorption and resonant photoelectron spectroscopies
摘要： Unoccupied and occupied electronic structures of an L-cysteine film have been studied by absorption and resonant photoelectron spectroscopies. Core absorptions at S-L, C-K, N-K, and O-K levels indicate that the lower unoccupied states are predominantly composed of oxygen-2p, carbon-2p, and sulfur-4s+3d orbitals, while higher unoccupied states may be attributed dominantly to nitrogen-np (n ≥ 3), oxygen-np (n ≥ 3), and sulfur-ns+md (n ≥ 4, m ≥ 3) orbitals. Resonant photoelectron spectra at S-L23 and O-K levels indicate that the highest occupied state is originated from sulfur-3sp orbitals, while oxygen-2sp orbitals contribute to the deeper valence states. The delocalization lifetimes of the oxygen-1s and sulfur-2p excited states are estimated from a core-hole clock method to be about 9 ± 1 and 125 ± 25 fs, respectively.
