Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Below-gap excitation of ∏-conjugated polymer-fullerene blends: implications for bulk organic heterojunction solar cells | We used a variety of optoelectronic techniques such as broadband fs transient and cw photomodulation spectroscopies, electroabsorption, and short-circuit photocurrent in bulk heterojunctions organic solar cells for studying the photophysics in ∏-conjugated polymer-fullerene blends with below-gap... | pi-conjugated polymers; Fullerene blends; Below-gap excitations; Bulk heterojunctions; Bulk organic heterojunction solar cells; Photophysics | 2008-07 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Film morphology and photophysics of polyfluorene | We have studied the interplay between photophysics and film morphology of poly(9,9-dioctyl)fluorene (PFO) using a variety of optical probes. Upon slowly warming a spin-cast PFO film from 80 to 300 K, a fraction of the sample is transformed into a different solid phase, the ß phase.

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Photophysics of excitons in quasi-one-dimensional organic semiconductors: single-walled carbon nanotubes and ∏-conjugated polymers | The nature of the primary photoexcitations in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (S-SWCNTs) is of strong current interest. We have studied the emission spectra of S-SWCNTs and two different rr-conjugated polymers in solutions and films, and have also performed ultrafast pump-probe spectro... | Photophysics; Excitons; Quasi-one-dimensional; Single-walled carbon nanotubes; pi-conjugated polymers | 2006-02 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Photophysics of pristine and C60-doped disubstituted polyacetylene | Using a variety of steady-state spectroscopies we studied the long-lived photoexcitations and electronic excited states of poly disubstituted acetylene (PDPA-nBu), the backbone structure of which is a disubstituted trans-polyacetylene, as well as PDPA-nBu/C60 blends. The cw spectroscopies include a... | Photophysics; Pristine disubstituted polyacetylene; C60-doped disubstituted polyacetylene; pi-conjugated polymers; Photoexcitations; Electronic excited states | 2002-08 |
