摘要
High-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and optical absorption spectra were recorded for 5- and 6-thiophene films. These compounds are characterized by a large excitonic band of u symmetry. Optical transitions are only allowed to the high-energy edge (top) of this band. Due to different selection rules, HREELS spectra reveal transitions to the low-energy edge (bottom) of the exciton band, and allow a precise determination of the excitonic gap. Furthermore, a second threshold above 3 eV is tentatively assigned to the electronic gap. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
