Abstract

Analyzing and interpreting the nanoscale morphology of semiconducting polymers is one of the key challenges for advancing in organic electronics. The orientation persistence length (OPL) as a tool to analyze orientation maps generated by photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) – a state of the art tool for nanoscale imaging/spectroscopy – is presented here. The OPL is a way to quantify the chain orientation within the polymer film in a single graph. In this regard, it is a convincing method that will enable additional direct correlations between the chain orientation and electrical or optical parameters. In this report, we provide computational insights into the factors that contribute to the OPL.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
