A better understanding of the carrier formation process for semiconducting polymers, especially in thin films, is essential for designing and constructing highly-functionalized polymeric optoelectronic devices. We herein examined effects of the crystalline structure and thermal molecular motion on photo-carrier formation for melt-crystalized thin films of monodisperse poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) with various molecular weights (MWs), which were prepared from polydisperse sample by preparative chromatography.
