Photoluminescence studies of oligothiophene self-assembled monolayers at low excitation energy.
Photoluminescence spectroscopy studies have been performed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) of thiophene oligomers with the number of thiophen rings N=3 and N=4. Photoluminescence spectra of SAMs reveal excitonic behavior with different band resolution and temperature dependence. These differences are attributed to different SAMs structure (degree of ordering).
