title: Enhanced visible photoluminescence in ultrathin poly(3-hexylthiophene) films by incorporation of Au nanoparticles.
abstract: Incorporation of non-luminescent dodecanethiolate-protected gold clusters into regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) films results in a 6-fold increase in the visible photoluminescence (PL) of the polymer, which arises predominantly from NP-induced structural changes in the composite films.
