Understanding the effect of structure and aggregation on exciton transport in polymers is relevant for the design of functional artificial systems for applications in organic photovoltaics.
Here we investigate the process of energy transfer in the low-temperature phase of MEH-PPV, a planarized aggregated phase characterized by an increased conjugation length as compared to the coiled room-temperature phase. By combining transient absorption and coherent two-dimensional spectroscopy we identify the characteristic time scales of energy transfer within the aggregate. Additionally, the possibility to retrieve information on the exciton diffusion from the power dependence of the investigated signal will be discussed.
