Transport properties of copper phthalocyanine based organic electronic devices

As a particular class of planar aromatic compounds, metal phthalocyanines are considered for numerous applications since they show a variety of interesting physical and chemical properties. In particular, the semiconducting copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), is employed in several optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes or organic photovoltaic cells. The ambipolar charge carrier...

Interfacial Properties in Cu-phthalocyanine-based Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Multilayers

Interfacial properties of 5 nm MgO(001)/7 nm Fe(001)/1.8 nm MgO(001)/t nm Cu-phthalocyanine (CuPc) hybrid multilayers with t = 0, 1, 7, and 10 were investigated by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Rather sharp interfacial properties were observed in the CuPc films grown on an epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO(001) trilayer than a MgO/Fe(001) bilayer. This work suggests a new way to improve devi...

Modeling of Thermoelectric Properties of Semi-Conductor Thin Films With Quantum and Scattering Effects

Several new reduced-scale structures have been proposed to improve thermoelectric properties of materials. In particular, superlattice thin films and wires should decrease the thermal conductivity, due to increased phonon boundary scattering, while increasing the local electron density of states for improved thermopower. The net effect should be increased ZT, the performance metric for thermoel...
