Abstract
Polarons are fundamental nonlinear excitations in conjugated polymers. Spin density distribution of polarons, or their spatial extension in other words, is one of the essential physical quantities that can be used to identify polarons. It is also known that the magnitude of electron correlation sensitively affects the detailed form of spin distribution. In this paper we discuss the electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) observation of the polaron in an electroluminescent polymer, poly(paraphenylene vinylene), PPV. Observed spin distribution extends over about 4 phenyl rings in half width and is well described by the theoretical calculation using PPP (Pariser-Parr-Pople) model in the case of finite electron correlation. We also present evidence for the photo-generation of polarons from the light-induced ESR spectra and their excitation profile.
