Electrical conduction in plasma polymerized thin films of γ-terpinene

Photostability of plasma polymerized γ-terpinene thin films for encapsulation of OPV

Optically transparent, smooth, defect-free, chemically inert and with good adhesion to a variety of substrates, plasma polymers from plant-derived secondary metabolites have been identified as promising encapsulating materials for organic electronics and photovoltaics. Here, we demonstrate that an encapsulating layer of plasma polymerized γ-terpinene reduces degradation-related loss in conversi...

Direct Current Electrical Conduction Mechanism in Plasma Polymerized Pyrrole Thin Films

The complex direct current (DC) electrical conduction mechanism in plasma polymerized pyrrole (PPPy) thin films has been discussed in this article. PPPy thin films of different thicknesses were deposited at room temperature onto glass substrates by using a parallel plate capacitively coupled glow discharge reactor and their properties were studied in detail. In the study of DC conduction proper...

On the optical and electrical properties of rf and a.c. plasma polymerized aniline thin films

Polyaniline is a widely studied conducting polymer and is a useful material in its bulk and thin film form for many applications, because of its excellent optical and electrical properties. Pristine and iodine doped polyaniline thin films were prepared by a.c. and rf plasma polymerization techniques separately for the comparison of their optical and electrical properties. Doping of iodine was e...

Electrical Properties of Plasma Deposited Thin Films

Abstract. It is well known that MIM (metal-insulator-metal) structures exhibit various high-field processes, which may be either electrode-limited (e.g. tunneling, Schottky-barrier emission) or bulk-limited (e.g. space-charge-limited conduction, Poole-Frenkel conduction). Thin films prepared using PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition)exhibited Pool-Frenkel conductivity (Schottky co...
