Abstrak
Polimer semikonduktor seperti Poli(3-heksiltiofena-2,5-dil) (P3HT) telah mendapat perhatian kerana sifatnya dan telah digunakan dalam sel suria.
Kadar resapan elektron dalam bahan ini dapat memberikan maklumat penting tentang angkutan cas. Spektroskopi muon adalah satu kaedah yang sensitif dengan suasana mikroskopik bahan dan mampu memberikan gambaran tentang sifat resapan elektron. Penghitungan kadar resapan D memerlukan pengetahuan tentang nilai interaksi hiperhalus muon yang sukar diperoleh melalui uji kaji. Oleh itu kaedah Teori Fungsian Ketumpatan (DFT) telah digunakan dalam penyelidikan ini untuk mencari tapak stabil muon di dalam P3HT dan seterusnya menghitung nilai interaksi hiperhalus. Dalam kajian ini semua struktur yang dioptimumkan bagi sistem perumah dan sistem termuonat telah diperoleh dengan menggunakan kaedah DFT pada tahap B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p). Kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa kehadiran muon di dalam bahan ini menyebabkan perubahan ketara pada ciri-ciri HOMO dan
LUMO. Tapak C5 dan C2 yang terletak bersebelahan sulfur adalah yang paling stabil dengan nilai interaksi hiperhalus muon sebanyak 267.4 MHz dan 293.8 MHz. Walaupun kedua-dua tapak ini mempunyai nilai tenaga yang hampir sama, namun suasana taburan lokal spin elektron adalah berbeza.

Abstract
Semiconducting polymers such as Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT)
have gained attention due to their properties and have been used in solar
cells. The electron diffusion rate in this material can provide important
information about charge transport through the material. Muon
spectroscopy is a method that is sensitive to the microscopic state of the
matter and can provide an insight into the nature of electron diffusion.
Calculation of the diffusion rate D requires knowledge of the muon
hyperfine interaction value which is difficult to obtain experimentally. Therefore, Density Functional Theory (DFT) method was used in this
investigation to find muon stable sites in P3HT and subsequently determine the
value of hyperfine interaction. In this study, all the optimized structures of
host and muoniated systems were obtained by using DFT method at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. This investigation shows that the presence of muon
in this material causes significant changes in HOMO and LUMO characteristics.
C5 and C2 that are located beside the sulphur atom, were found to be the most
stable sites with muon hyperfine interaction values of 267.4 MHz and 293.8 MHz,
respectively. Although these two sites have almost the same energy value, the
local distributions of electron spin are different.
