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. For material here, our result indicates that traditional concept vacuum-level alignment,...
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). Investigation indicated that DPEPO in mezzo first triplet excited energy level (T(1)) between singlet (S(1)) and T(1) TTA, may support one additional transfer...
The correlation between the Raman peak shift and linewidth of porous silicon is studied. experimental result does not fit with relationship predicted by phonon confinement model. By taking into account both effect strain, calculated line shape coincides fairly well measured spectrum. built-in strain varies porosity sample on order 10−3.
The multicarrier hopping process in disordered organic materials is studied via Monte Carlo simulations taking into consideration both the site exclusion effect and Coulomb interaction. carrier mobility with Gaussian energetic disorder found to depend heavily on density. At high densities, interaction reduce low intrinsic or at temperatures, enhance temperatures.

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy has been applied to the investigation of modified hole injection barriers in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Different from those reported previously, indium tin oxide (ITO) surface treated situ by oxygen plasma possesses a work function 5.2 eV, and ITO interface thereafter formed shows 0.5 eV smaller barrier compared that on untreated ITO. Insertion an ultrathin SiO2 layer between results similar reduction barrier. This indicates improved...
A boiling water treatment of light emitting porous silicon can give rise to a large blue shift its photoluminescence spectrum and meanwhile strengthen the skeleton Si by filling up many pores with aqueous oxide. stable blue-green emission at peak wavelength down 500 nm is achieved. FTIR measurements show that formation dihydride on sidewall surfaces rods not responsible visible luminescence for very thin wires.
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...
A thin buffer layer is indispensable for a high power conversion efficiency in an organic solar cell with fullerene (C60) as the acceptor. In present work, authors proposed that role of to prohibit electron transfer from metal C60, and thus desired built-in electric field can promote free carrier collection. The different cells without C60 was studied by transient photovoltage technique. experimental results supported our proposal indicated exciton blocking effect reported literature might...
Three new phenyl-substituted poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (Ph−PPV) derivatives with amino-functionalized groups were synthesized through either Gilch reaction for poly{2,5-bis[4'-2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethoxyphenyl]-1,4-phenylenevinylene (P1) or Wittig poly{2,5-bis(4'-decyloxyphenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene-alt-2,5-bis[4'-2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethoxyphenyl]-1,4-phenylenevinylene} (P2) and...
We report the fabrication of a vacuum-deposited light-emitting device which emits light from its top surface through an Al cathode using p-type doped silicon as anode material. Enhanced hole injection is clearly demonstrated p-Si compared to indium–tin–oxide (ITO) anode. The mechanisms both and ITO anodes into organic layer are investigated possible model based on band bending proposed. During operation device, plays very important role in modifying interfacial barrier height between layer.

Only for large IBH, will introduction show improvement effect. For small one, it weaken injection. These phenomena are explained in terms tunneling model and calculations based this good agreement with experimental results. This further confirms...

The efficiency of electron injection from the is strongly dependent on thickness LiF buffer layer. While a layer thinner than 1.0 nm leads to higher turn-on voltage and decreased electroluminescent (EL) efficiency, 3.0 significantly enhances results lower increased EL efficiency....
The current density-luminance-voltage characteristics of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) with N,N′-Bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl) benzidine (NPB) various thicknesses as the hole transport layer have been investigated.

The dependence integrated intensity on pump power shows this is third-order nonlinear optical effect. By comparing with UV-light-excited spectra PSL and samples low porosity have inefficient luminescence, possible explanation proposed whereby large response due to...
