Résumé

Topical monograph on optical and electronic processes in conjugated polymers
Includes up-to-date survey of experimental and theoretical developments
Describes how electronic interactions and electron-lattice couplings determine type, character, and energies of the electronic states of conjugated polymers
Explains photo-physical properties in terms of theory of electronic states
Includes numerous technical details (appendices) as theoretical tools

Conjugated polymers have important technological applications, including solar cells and light emitting displays. They are also active components in many important biological processes. In recent years there have been significant advances in our understanding of these systems, owing to both improved experimental measurements and the development of advanced computational techniques.

The aim of this book is to describe and explain the electronic and optical properties of conjugated polymers. It focuses on the character and energetic ordering of the electronic states and relates these properties to experimental observations in real systems. A number of important optical and electronic processes in conjugated polymers are also described.

Readership: Postgraduate students and other researchers in the electronic and optical properties of conjugated polymers. Typically these will be theoretical and experimental chemists and physicists.
