51. We have assumed that there is a homogeneous distribution of acceptor molecules throughout the acceptor layer prior to annealing. Small molecules may preferentially segregate to interfaces. This could potentially happen during the spincoating process or by preferential diffusion toward an interface during annealing. One might expect that this type of effect could be exacerbated in ultrathin films potentially leading to changes in D with film thickness. However, we have no evidence, such as a substantial lag time for observed energy transfer (see Figures 3 and 5), that significant probe segregation is occurring in our films. The observed diffusive behavior with film thickness does not depend on probe type, and we also find little difference in diffusion whether the acceptor layer is next to the substrate or free surface in the bilayer geometry.

58. P2VP may sorb significant amounts of water. Mass uptake and drying experiements on thick films indicated that our drying procedure removed, within error, all of the sorted water. Any possible residual water that may have been present after the drying procedure was found not to shift Tg measurably, as determined by DSC measurements done on samples that experienced even harsher drying procedures.
