Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we have measured the transfer transients for both a three-dimensional blend film and for quasi-two-dimensional monolayers formed through intercalation of the polymer blend between the crystal planes of an inorganic SnS2 matrix. We compare the experimental data with a simple, dimensionality- dependent model based on electronic coupling between electronic transition moments taken to be point dipoles. Within this approximation, the energy-transfer dynamics is found to adopt a three-dimensional character in the solid film and a two-dimensional nature in the monolayers present in the SnS2-polymer nanocomposite.}, language = {en} } @article{HayerdeHalleuxKoehleretal.2006, author = {Hayer, Anna and de Halleux, Veronique and K{\"o}hler, Anna and El-Garoughy, Abdel and Meijer, E.

The synthesis of this novel material is presented. The therniotropic properties are studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), cross-polarized optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction. The mesogen possesses an enantiotropic Col(h) phase over a large temperature range before clearing. The material is highly fluorescent in solution and, most remarkably, in the condensed state, with a broad, strongly red shifted emission. Fluorescence quantum yields (Phi(F)) have been determined to be 70\% in dichloromethane solution and 62\% in the solid state. Concentration- and temperature-dependent absorption and emission studies as well as quantum-chemical calculations on isolated molecules and dimers are used to clarify the type of intermolecular interactions present as well as their influence on the fluorescence quantum yield and spectral properties of the material. The high luminescence efficiency in the solid state is ascribed to rotated chromophores, leading to an optically allowed lowest optical transition}, language = {en} } @article{MermerVeeraraghavanFrancisetal.2005, author = {Mermer, {\"O}. and Veeraraghavan, G. and Francis, T.

The study includes a range of materials that show greatly different chemical structure, mobility, and spin-orbit coupling strength. We study both hole and electron transporters at temperatures ranging from 10 K to 300 K. We observe large negative or positive magnetoresistance (up to 10\% at 300 K and 10 mT) depending on material and device operating conditions. We discuss our results in the framework of known magnetoresistance mechanisms and find that none of the existing models can explain our results.}, language = {en} } @article{HayerKhanFriendetal.2005, author = {Hayer, Anna and Khan, A.

We found that the spin-dependent exciton formation rates can indeed quantitatively explain the observed exciton yields, and that singlet formation rates and yields are significantly enhanced only in polymer OLEDs, but not in OLEDs made from the corresponding monomer}, language = {en} }
