摘要
A study was conducted to correlate the physics of semicrystalline ordering of a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) thin film to the polymer's optoelectronic properties utilizing in situ measurements on an experimentally convenient time scale when quenching from the melt to room temperature. It was demonstrated that the field-effect transistor (FET) hole mobilities suddenly increased 60-fold at a threshold time, while the polymer crystallinity continually increased over time. The mobility onset was attributed to the formation of a thin film crystalline network in an amorphous matrix. It was also shown that the evolution of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption and photoluminescence (PL) profiles in the thin film correlated well with the polymer crystallization. The polymer solidification process was readily observed as the crystal structure of the P3EHT thin film was monitored as a function of time after quenching to room temperature with grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GI-XRD).
