Figure 5.52: Example for a peak fit of S1s excitation spectra: (a) PCPDTTBBTT and b)
PCPDTTBTT films on ITO, with θ equals 20,50 and 75 degrees. Peaks are coloured according
to their origin from particular polymer subunits as shaded in corresponding insets.(c and d)
Angular dependence of the intensity of T1 and B1 peaks shown in (a) and (b).The expected
intensity profiles for out of plane transitions of perfectly lying and standing molecules are
indicated by black (cos2θ) and red (sin2θ) lines, respectively. Assuming that T1 corresponds to
a transition polarized parallel to the polymer backbone, the data points for PCPDTTBBTT
follow well the curve expected for molecules with their π-conjugated backbone oriented
perpendicular to the substrate surface.
