1D exciton band and exciton-phonon interaction in a single polymer chain
arXiv:cond-mat/0209199
Abstract
The excitonic luminescence of an isolated polydiacetylene polymer chain in its monomer matrix is studied by micro-photoluminescence. These chains behave as perfect 1D excitonic systems with the expected 1/sqrt{E} density of states between 5 and 50 K. The temperature dependence of the homogeneous width is quantitatively explained by interaction with longitudinal acoustic phonons of the crystal in the range of temperature explored.
