Chemical structure of P3HT.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is a polymer with chemical formula (C10H14S)n. It is a polythiophene with a short alkyl group on each repeat unit. It is noteworthy since it is a seminconducting polymer; it can conduct positive charges (holes). It is a common material for studies of organic electronics (e.g. FETs) and for organic photovoltaics (OPV).

Organization

P3HT typically organizes into a semi-crystalline state, with an idealized unit cell as shown below:

Cartoon of an idealized P3HT unit cell.
  • The lamellar stacking has a spacing of ~1.6 nm, giving rise to a peak (100) at q ~0.4 Å−1.
  • The aromatic (π-π) stacking has a spacing of ~0.39 nm, giving rise to a peak (010) at q ~1.6 Å−1.
  • The spacing along the ring direction is too disordered to give a well-defined 001 peak.

Refer to P3HT orientation for details about the organization of P3HT.

Scattering

On flat substrates, P3HT typically organizes into an edge-on orientation, wherein the lamellar stacking direction is along the film normal (leading to the 100 peak being along qz), and the aromatic stacking then being in-plane (010 peak along qr).
