The spin-spin interactions responsible for this mechanism are investigated in this work using methods based on spin-sensitive electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). In particular, this method has been applied to electrically driven OLEDs. The magnetic resonance has been detected by electroluminescence, giving this method its name: electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR). Initial investigations on a novel deep blue TADF emitter were performed. Furthermore, the ELDMR method was used in this work to directly detect the spin states in the OLED. These measurements were further underlined by time-resolved experiments such as transient electro- and photoluminescence.}, subject = {Elektronenspinresonanz}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Bunzmann2021, author = {Bunzmann, Nikolai Eberhard}, title = {Excited State Pathways in 3rd Generation Organic Light-Emitting Diodes}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-22078}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-220786}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This work revealed spin states that are involved in the light generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that are based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). First, several donor:acceptor-based TADF systems forming exciplex states were investigated. Afterwards, a TADF emitter that shows intramolecular charge transfer states but also forms exciplex states with a proper donor molecule was studied. The primary experimental technique was electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in particular the advanced methods electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR), photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). Additional information was gathered from time-resolved and continuous wave photoluminescence measurements.}, subject = {Elektronenspinresonanz}, language = {en} }
