Abstract
We analyse the optical spectra of N , N ′ -diphenyl- N , N ′ -bis(3-methyl-phenyl)-( 1 , 1 ′ -biphenyl)- 4 , 4 ′ -diamine (TPD) doped polystyrene films. The aim of the present paper is to give a microscopic interpretation of the significant Stokes shift between absorption and photoluminescence, which makes this material suitable for stimulated emission. The optimized geometric structures and energies of a neutral TPD monomer in ground and excited states are obtained by ab initio calculations using Hartree–Fock and density functional theory. The results indicate that the second distinct peak observed in absorption may arise either from a group of higher electronic transitions of the monomer or from the lowest optical transitions of a TPD dimer.
