Quantum confinement effects in self-assembled multicomponent semiconducting polymers

Semiconducting polymer heterostructures exhibiting quantum confinement effects were recently prepared in our laboratory by a self-assembly approach. Photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopies as well as electric field-induced photoluminescence quenching have been used here to probe the effects of exciton confinement in the self-assembled semiconducting polymer quantum-well nanostructures.
