Excitons in poly(para-phenylenevinylene) |

| Description |
We show that one-electron band theory fails to describe optical absorption in PPV and the absorption spectrum can be described only within a Coulomb-correlated model. The lowest optical state is an exciton, whose binding energy is estimated theoretically to be 0.90 ± 0 . 1 5 e V Measurements of the photoconductivity quantum efficiency in poly[2-methoxy,5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-l,4 phenylenevinylene] reveal a binding energy in good agreement with the theoretical value. |
