Direct measurements of electronic properties have been made for the metal/organic and organic/organic interfaces in a multilayer organic light-emitting diode (LED) using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. The device configuration considered is indium–tin oxide (ITO)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/N,N′-bis-(1-naphyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamne (NPB)/8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq)/Mg.

Solar cells and optical detection devices often incorporate antireflective surfaces to reduce undesired reflection enhance absorption. This letter reports a “black silicon” structure of porous silicon fabricated by using electrochemical etching. The sample has gradient-index multilayer structure, i.e., the refraction indices increase from top (near air) bottom Si substrate). Reflectance below 5% is obtained over broad wave number range (3000–28000cm−1) depression mechanism reflectance...

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have enjoyed significant progress in terms of practical applications; however, their lifetimes are often limited by poor thermal stability. These authors monitored the surface temperature working OLED devices and identified "hot spots" due to electrical shorting using an infrared imaging analysis system. Thermal breakdown is shown its origins electric-field-induced decomposition indium tin oxide electromigration through organic layer under high electric field.

The energy level alignment for both Mg/8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq) and Au/Alq interfaces has been determined by the ultraviolet photoemission measurements. For interfaces, difference between Fermi low-energy edge of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is around 1.7 eV. This implies that with respect to HOMO Alq independent work function Mg Au despite a large in metal function. A model proposed, invoking charge transfer formation dipolar layer at metal/Alq interface.

The chelate phosphine oxide ligand bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl) ether (DPEPO) was used as a unit neutral to prepare the complex Eu(TTA)(3)(DPEPO) 1 (TTA = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate). Compound has photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 55.3%, which is more than twice PL Eu(TTA)(3)(TPPO)(2) (TPPO triphenylphosphine oxide).

Based on the WKB approximation of tunneling model, we calculate J–V characteristics organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) having buffer layers different thickness. The results show how insertion a layer with proper thickness lowers OLED turn-on voltage. Further calculation suggests some parameters, such as resistivity ratio and position conduction band minimum relative to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital layer, are important in selecting material. A quantitative estimation optimal is...
