Exciton emission in PTCDA films and PTCDA/Alq3 multilayers

چکیده
We investigate the exciton emission in 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) thin films and PTCDA/aluminium-tris-hydroxyqinoline sAlq3d multilayers by photoluminescence spectroscopy in the temperature range from 10 to 300 K. The films are grown by organic molecular beam deposition on Si(001) and PyrexTM substrates at high vacuum. The obtained temperature dependence of the different recombination channels arising from indirect Frenkel excitons, charge transfer excitons, excimers, and relaxed excited monomers is compared to the recombination channels in single PTCDA crystals. A strong recombination band is observed at 1.63 eV in PTCDA/Alq3 multilayers. This emission band is attributed to charge transfer transitions between stacked PTCDA molecules that are compressed by strain fields within the PTCDA layers. This assignment is supported by strain-dependent photoluminescence measurements on pure PTCDA films.

Effects of high pressure on the photoluminescence transitions of excitons in [alpha]-PTCDA (perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride) crystals
We report investigations of the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of α-PTCDA single crystals at 11 K and 300 K as a function of applied pressures to 54 kbar carried out using a diamond-anvil cell with annealed methanol-ethanol medium. The effects of pressure are observed on several excitonic PL features principally associated with: an excimer transition for the 300 K spectra, or an indirect Frenk...
متن کاملElectronic polarization at surfaces and thin films of organic molecular crystals: PTCDA
The electronic polarization energies, P 1⁄4 Pþ þ P , of a perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) cation and anion in a crystalline thin film on a metallic substrate are computed and compared with measurements of the PTCDA transport gap on gold and silver. Both experiments and theory show that P is 500 meV larger in a PTCDA monolayer than in 50 A films. Electronic polarization in syste...

Adv. Mater. 2010, 22, 1233–1236 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag G T IO N One of the most fundamental properties of both organic and inorganic semiconductors is charge mobility. It has been unambiguously shown that the mobility in both of these materials systems is strongly linked to the degree of long range order—that is, more extended crystallinity leads to a larger charge mobility, which ultimately det...

: Organic polymers or crystals are commonly used in manufacturing of today's electronically functional devices (OLEDs, organic solar cells, etc). Understanding their morphology in general and at the interface in particular is of paramount importance. Proper knowledge of molecular orientation at interfaces is essential for predicting optoelectronic properties such as exciton diffusion length, ch...

The interaction between 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) molecules and solid rare gas samples is studied by means of fluorescence emission spectroscopy. Laser-excited PTCDA-doped large argon, neon, and para-hydrogen clusters along with PTCDA embedded in helium nanodroplets are spectroscopically characterized with respect to line broadening and shifting. A fast non-radiati...
