Electron-lattice coupling in conjugated polymers

Electron-lattice coupling in conjugated polymers

The results obtained by this new method are shown to be able to account for most of the shortcomings of the earlier methods, in particular their failure satisfactorily to explain the quenching of luminescence in cis-polyacetylene and their poor predictions of the relative strengths of the two photoi...
