The 1320-nm Excited FT-Raman Spectra of Lightly Iodine-Doped trans-Polyacetylene

The FT-Raman spectra of trans-polyacetylene films doped lightly with iodine were obtained with the 1320-nm laser line. The observed Raman bands are attributed to positively charged domains created by acceptor doping. The observed Raman wavenumbers of the V$_2$, (CC stretch), V$_3$, and V$_4$ bands (mixed of CC stretch and CH in-plan bending) of iodine-doped form are slightly higher than those of the corresponding bands of pristine trans-polyacetylene, whereas the contrary is the case for V$_1$, and (C=C stretch) of iodine-doped form. In particular, these upshifts of the V$_2$ and V$_3$ bands are distinguished from the downshifts of these bands in donor doping. The origin of doping induced Raman bands is discussed in terms of solitons and polarons.
