Abstract

Six experimental methods have been used to investigate the exciton diffusion length in materials with systematic chemical modifications. We find that exciton diffusion length correlates with molecular ordering. We discuss situations in which certain experimental techniques are more appropriate.

    Reproduced material should be attributed as follows:

    • For reproduction of material from NJC:
      Reproduced from Ref. XX with permission from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and The Royal Society of Chemistry.
    • For reproduction of material from PCCP:
      Reproduced from Ref. XX with permission from the PCCP Owner Societies.
    • For reproduction of material from PPS:
