Abstract

A tutorial review on the use of Raman spectroscopy for studying conducting polymers is presented. The principles of Raman spectroscopy, instrumentation, and analysis of Raman spectra are described. Special emphasis is laid on the characterization of polarons and bipolarons formed upon doping. Two important points are described: (1) Raman spectroscopy with not only visible but also near-infrared laser excitation; (2) an “oligomer approach” for the analysis of Raman spectra. An application of this method to Na-doped poly(1,4-phenylene vinylene) is demonstrated.
