Abstract Presented in this paper are systematic studies of photoiuduced exciton bleaching dynamics in the polymers with nondegenerate ground state, such as polydiacetylene, polythiophene and polyaniline. From a three-level model, the photoexcitation and relaxation of the exciton bleaching in the polymers are simulated. The results show that the exciton bleaching decay is composed of two components, the fast component and the slow component. For the fast component, the speed of exciton bleaching decay depends on the way in which the excitons relax. When the relaxation of the exciton to the ground state is dominant, the polymers exhibit an ultrafast initial bleaching relaxation; when the relaxation of the exciton to the self-trapped exciton state is dominant, the polymers exhibit a slower initial bleaching relaxation than that in the former case, For the slow component, the exciton bleaching decay is due to the relaxation of the self-trapped excitons to the ground state. Using femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe technology, we measured the relaxation dynamics of the photoinduced exciton bleaching in the emeraldine base form of polyaniline. Fitting the experimental data to the theoretical model indicates that the fast component arises from the relaxation of excitons to the ground state (～100fs) and the slow component arises from the relaxation of self-trapped excitons to the ground state (～30 ps).

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
