Two acceptor levels of vanadium at Ec - 0.81 and Ec - 1.02eV with the electron capture cross section of 7.0 × 10^16 and 6.0 × 10^-16 cm^2 are observed, respectively. Low-temperature photoluminescence measurements in the range of 1.4-3.4eV are also performed on the sample, which reveals the formation of two electron traps at 0.80 and 1. 16eV below the conduction band. These traps indicate that vanadium doping leads to the formation of two deep acceptor levels in 4H-SiC,with the location of 0.8±0.01 and 1. 1 ±0.08eV below the conduction band.展开更多
Fully conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) block copolymers, P3HT-b-PNDIT, containing p-type poly(3-hexylthio- phene) (P3HT) and n-type poly(naphthalene bismide) (PNDIT) segments are synthesized in a one-pot reac...Fully conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) block copolymers, P3HT-b-PNDIT, containing p-type poly(3-hexylthio- phene) (P3HT) and n-type poly(naphthalene bismide) (PNDIT) segments are synthesized in a one-pot reaction via Stille coupling polycondensation. Various D-A block copolymers with low polydispersities (1.42--1.56) are ob- tained through further separation via preparative GPC. The structural and molecular features of block copolymers are verified by 1H NMR, FTIR spectra, UV-Vis absorption, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It is found that optical and electrochemical properties of D-A block copolymers are strongly de- pendent on the combination ratio of the donor P3HT and acceptor PNDIT segment. By reducing the acceptor block lengths, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels of D-A block copolymers sequentially rise, leading to the sequential decrease of energy gaps. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on engineer- ing the energy levels of fully conjugated D-A block copolymers by tuning donor and acceptor chain lengths. More- over, compared to D/A polymer blends, the all-conjugated D-A block copolymer films show significant fine struc- tures and much smoother film morphologies.展开更多
