Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We have studied the absorption spectra of charged excitations in sexithiophene thin films induced by doping and photogeneration. Absorption bands at 0.80 and 1.54 eV are attributed to spin-1/2 polarons, whereas a single absorption band at 1.1 eV is due to spinless bipolarons. Charge conjugation symmetry breaking is evident for both polarons and bipolarons.
