Electrical and optical characterization of conducting poly-3-methylthiophene film by THz time-domain spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using THz time-domain spectroscopy ~THz-TDS!, we have measured the absorption and dispersion of 7.5/~V cm! conducting poly-3-methylthiophene film from low frequencies up to 4 THz. From these measurements the complex conductance that increases with increasing frequency was obtained over this frequency range. The results do not follow simple Drude theory and are not comparable with normal metal and semiconductors; the results were well fit by the localization-modified Drude theory. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1427754#

Electrical characterization of conducting polypyrrole by THz time-domain spectroscopy
Using an optoelectronic THz beam system for THz time-domain spectroscopy ~THz TDS!, we have measured the absorption and index of refraction of a conducting polypyrrole film from low frequencies to 2.5 THz. From these measurements, the dc conductivity of 215/~V cm! and the complex conductance were obtained over this frequency range. All of the results were well fit by Drude theory, which gives a...
متن کاملDouble modulated differential THz-TDS for thin film dielectric characterization
Terahertz differential time-domain spectroscopy (DTDS) is a new technique that uses pulsed terahertz radiation to characterize the optical properties of thin dielectric films. Characterizing thin films in the GHz to THz range is critical for the development of new technologies in integrated circuitry, photonic systems and micro-electro-mechanical systems. There are potential applications for ge...

متن کاملNoise Reduction in Terahertz Thin Film Measurements Using a Double Modulated Differential Technique
Differential terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) is a technique for decreasing noise levels in THz thin film characterization experiments. Characterizing thin films in the GHz to THz range is critical for the development of fast integrated circuits and photonic systems, and is potentially applicable to biosensors and proteomics. This paper shows how the differential technique, combin...
متن کاملOrganic Thin Film Transistors based Oligothiophine Derivatives using - Dihexyl ( quarter - & sexi - ) Thiophene
End-substitution of quarterthiophene and sexithiophene with hexyl groups leads to highly soluble conjugated oligomers, -dihexylquarterthiophene (DH-4T) and -dihexylsexithiophene (DH-6T). We have characterized these oligomers for optical and electrical properties. We fabricated an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using the above two air-stable p-type organic semiconductor materials. We obtain...
