Nonlinear Optical Studies of Mixed π-Conjugated Polymer Multilayers by Second Harmonic Generation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
The structures of the mixed LB monolayers, composed of two different kinds of π-conjugated system, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PHT) and pentacosa-10, 12-diynoic acid (DA), have been investigated mainly by a second harmonic generation (SHG) Maker fringe method. The mixed LB films partly contain a double-layered structure consisting of PHT and DA. The second harmonic radiation has been produced from slightly twisted PHT in the double layer. Both UV-polymerization of DA and successive heat-treatments enhanced the SHG intensities. The enhancement of the SHG intensities has been elucidated by the enlargement of the PHT twisting and the interaction between PHT and a newly formed π-conjugated system.
