Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a low-T g photorefractive (PR) polymer which contains ionic ruthenium complexes as the photogenerator of charge carriers. It was expected that a combination of the highly efficient photocharge generation of the Ru complex, the efficient charge transporting of the conjugated backbone, and the orientational enhancement associated with low-T g materials would lead to further ...
