Transport properties of poly(pyridyl vinylene phenylene vinylene) strapped copolymer
Abstract
We report transport studies on poly(pyridyl vinylene phenylene vinylene) strapped copolymer (pPyVPV) a novel pyridine containing polymer used in polymer light-emitting device research. Samples were prepared with gold contacts on both sides of a thin film (approx 6 microns) to study hole transport in the bulk. The DC conductivity is studied for temperatures from 250 K to 372 K and fields from 1 kV/cm to 1 MV/cm. The AC conductivity is studied for temperatures from 91 K to 398 K and frequencies from 1 millihertz to 1 megahertz. The results are discussed in the context of several models.
