Conjugated polymers such as poly(p-pyridyl vinylene)(PPyV) have interesting photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties. These polymers have a high quantum yield of luminescence and are of great practical importance as light-emitting diodes or organic semiconductors. We have performed studies on thin films (about 50nm) of these polymers using the high spatial optical resolution of NSOM.
