Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Experimental data on electroluminescence of new light emitting materials, semiconducting organic polymers doped with nanosized J-aggregates of cyanine dyes, are described. OLED structures are considered. New light-emitting diode structures are developed. Polyaniline electroluminescence band is observed. High-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to study J-aggregate structures. The AFM procedure is improved to increase accuracy in determination of J-aggregate dimensions. Certain supramolecular species are long ribbons with high flexibility.
