Abstract

We have used electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for investigating the properties of spins, such as those carried by polarons which carry both spin and charge in an electrosynthesized poly (meta/para phenylene) PMPP.Indeed, the study of their mobility provides an insight into the charge transport properties of the conjugated polymer in a microscopic scale.Moreover, we report a correlation between thin film morphology, chainlength and optical gap.Particularly, we show a blue shift upon decreasing chainlength. Furthermore, we have observed a blue shift of the energy band gap with the decrease of the surface grain size deduced from atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses. This result has been explained in terms of quantum confinement.
