Popis: The photophysics of the regioregular (RR) poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) films is investigated by cw-photoinduced absorption (PIA) measurements based on bleaching signals. The photoexcitation intensity dependence of the cw-PIA signals demonstrates that both photogenerated localized and delocalized polarons obey a bimolecular recombination process under cw photoexcitation. It is demonstrated that the lineshape of cw-PIA bleaching spectra for the P3AT films varies with the length of the alkyl substituents of P3AT. The bleaching spectra reveal a trend that the electron-phonon couplings of final exciton migration sites become strong with increasing the interlamella distance in the P3AT film. This indicates that interlamella couplings affect the electron-phonon couplings of the migration sites locating at two-dimensional lamellas. (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
