Density of the polyacrylamide ultrathin films has been studied using X-ray reflectivity technique. Two sources (one powder and another aqueous solution) of polyacrylamide were used to prepare spin coated films on silicon substrate. Light…
The electronic properties of macromolecular semiconductor thin films depend profoundly on their solid-state microstructure, which in turn is governed, among other things, by the processing conditions selected and the polymer chemical nature…
The lack of long range order in organic semiconductor thin films prevents the unveiling of the complete nature of excitons in optical experiments, because the diffraction limited beam diameters in the bandgap region far exceed typical…
We systematically measure the dielectric function of atomically thin MoS2 films with different layer numbers and demonstrate that excitonic effects play a dominant role in the dielectric function when the films are less than 5-7 layers…
Linear and nonlinear optical lineshapes reveal details of excitonic structure in semiconductor polymers. We implement absorption, photoluminescence, and transient absorption spectroscopies in DPP-DTT, an electron push-pull copolymer, to…
We employ five {\pi}-conjugated model materials of different molecular shape --- oligomers and cyclic structures --- to investigate the extent of exciton self-trapping and torsional motion of the molecular framework following optical…
Exciton plasmon polaritons have gained increasing interests over recent years due to their versatile properties emerging by the underlying light-matter coupling and making them potential candidates for new photonic applications. We have…
The characterization of electronic properties of metal complexes embedded in membrane environments is of paramount importance to develop efficient photosensitizers in optogenetic applications. Molecular dynamics and QM/MM simulations…
We study the exciton localization and resulting optical response for disordered tubular aggregates of optically active molecules. It has been shown previously that such tubular structures allow for excitons delocalized over more than a…
Long-range and fast transport of coherent excitons is important for development of high-speed excitonic circuits and quantum computing applications. However, most of these coherent excitons have only been observed in some low-dimensional…
We investigate effects of the local structure on the excitonic transport in C60 thin films by means of temperature-dependent photoluminescence quenching studies in a range of 5 to 300 K. Exciton motion in the X-ray amorphous layers…
Conjugated polymers offer potential for many diverse applications but we still lack a fundamental microscopic understanding of their electronic structure. Elementary photoexcitations - excitons - span only a few nanometres of a molecule,…
The number of excitons that conjugated polymers can support at any one time underpins their optoelectronic performance in light emitting diodes and as laser gain media, as it sets a natural limit on exciton density. Here we have measured…
We generalize our recent work on the optical bistability of thin films of molecular aggregates [J. Chem. Phys. 127, 164705 (2007); arXiv:0707.1264v1 [cond-mat.dis-nn]] by accounting for the optical transitions from the one-exciton manifold…
We develop a theory of the electronic structure and photophysics of interacting chains of \pi- conjugated polymers to understand the differences between solutions and films. While photoexcitation generates only the intrachain exciton in…
We describe exciton-polariton modes formed by the interaction between excitons in a 2D layer of a transition metal dichalcogenide embedded in a cylindrical microcavity and the microcavity photons. For this, an expression for the excitonic…
The film thickness dependence of crystal growth is investigated for isotactic polystyrene (it-PS) in thin films, the thickness of which is from 20nm down to 4nm. The single crystals of it-PS grown at 180 in the ultrathin films show the…
The ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as promising materials for various applications using two dimensional (2D) semiconductors. They have attracted increasing attention due to their unique optical properties…
An experimental study was carried out to investigate the existence of a critical layer thickness in nanolayer coextrusion, under which no continuous layer is observed. Polymer films containing thousands of layers of alternating polymers…
The excitonic luminescence of an isolated polydiacetylene polymer chain in its monomer matrix is studied by micro-photoluminescence. These chains behave as perfect 1D excitonic systems with the expected 1/sqrt{E} density of states between 5…
