Abstract
Depolarization of the transient absorption with a time constant of < 120 fs is observed in poly[2-(2'ethylhexyloxy)-5-methoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) film. It is too fast to be explained by incoherent hopping. We attribute it to dynamic localization (self-trapping) of the initially delocalized excitons driven by structural relaxation of excited segments. Implications for charge carrier photogeneration are briefly disscussed. (c) 2006 WILEYNCH Veriag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
