Opis

Conjugated polymers have important technological applications, including solar cells and light emitting displays. They are also active components in many important biological processes. In recent years there have been significant advances in our understanding of these systems, owing to both improved experimental measurements and the development of advanced computational techniques.
The aim of this book is to describe and explain the electronic and optical properties of conjugated polymers. It focuses on the character and energetic ordering of the electronic states and relates these properties to experimental observations in real systems.

Recenzje

What makes Electronic and Optical Properties of Conjugated Polymers as a whole so enjoyable to read is that it gives a complete overview of the influence of correlation effects on the ground and excited states of those materials. It is a comprehensive treatise aimed at theoretical physicists and chemists working on the field and at graduate students and other researchers who need to analyze their data in terms of theoretical models. The book is long overdue.
