摘要
We report results of experimental investigations into the luminescent properties of conjugated polymers in which are embedded dielectric nanocrystals. In poly(p-phenylene vinylene), embedding nanocrystals results in a blue shift and broadening of luminescence spectra with a simultaneous disappearance of its vibronic structure. The same nanocrystals in poly(2-(6-cyano-6'-methylheptyloxy)-1,4-phenylene) cause a red shift and spectral broadening. The results are explained with reference to a model accounting for the change in the polarization component of carrier and exciton energy in the vicinity of nanocrystals. The polymer-dielectric nanocomposites demonstrated increased electroluminescence effectiveness compared with pure polymers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
