چکیده

n-Doping of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), which has an electron affinity (EA) of 3.52 eV, by decamethylcobaltocene (DMC) is demonstrated. DMC has a remarkably low solid-state ionization energy (IE) of 3.3 eV, as measured by ultra-violet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). Further UPS measurements show a large 1.4 eV upward shift of the Fermi-level within the single particle gap of CuPc between the pand n-doped films. n-Doping is also confirmed by current–voltage (I–V) measurements, which show a 10-fold increase in current density due to improved electron injection and enhanced conductivity of the bulk film. An organic p–i–n CuPc homojunction is also fabricated using F4-TCNQ and DMC as pand n-dopants, respectively. Current–voltage characteristics demonstrate excellent rectification with a turn on voltage of approximately 1.3 eV, which is consistent with the built-in voltage measured by UPS and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements. 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Nonvolatile liquid anthracenes for facile full-colour luminescence tuning at single blue-light excitation

Nonvolatile room-temperature luminescent molecular liquids are a new generation of organic soft materials. They possess high stability, versatile optical properties, solvent-free fluid behaviour and can effectively accommodate dopant dye molecules. Here we introduce an approach to optimize anthracene-based liquid materials, focussing on enhanced stability, fluorescence quantum yield, colour tun...

Surface Chemical Tuning of Phonon and Electron Transport in Free-Standing Silicon Nanowire Arrays.

We report electronic and phononic transport measurements of monocrystalline batch-fabricated silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays functionalized with different surface chemistries. We find that hydrogen-terminated SiNWs prepared by vapor HF etching of native-oxide-covered devices show increased electrical conductivity but decreased thermal conductivity. We used the kinetic Monte Carlo method to solve...
