Light-induced magnetoresistance in solution-processed planar hybrid devices measured under ambient conditions

چکیده
We report light-induced negative organic magnetoresistance (OMAR) measured in ambient atmosphere in solution-processed 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) planar hybrid devices with two different device architectures. Hybrid electronic devices with trench-isolated electrodes (HED-TIE) having a channel length of ca. 100 nm fabricated in this work and, for comparison, commercially available pre-structured organic field-effect transistor (OFET) substrates with a channel length of 20 µm were used. The magnitude of the photocurrent as well as the magnetoresistance was found to be higher for the HED-TIE devices because of the much smaller channel length of these devices compared to the OFETs. We attribute the observed light-induced negative magnetoresistance in TIPS-pentacene to the presence of electron-hole pairs under illumination as the magnetoresistive effect scales with the photocurrent. The magnetoresistance effect was found to diminish over time under ambient conditions compared to a freshly prepared sample. We propose that the much faster degradation of the magnetoresistance effect as compared to the photocurrent was due to the incorporation of water molecules in the TIPS-pentacene film.

Molecular packing motifs in solid states is the dominant factor affecting the n-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). However, few systematic researches were performed in the different extensions of π-conjugated molecules with the uniform substitution effecting the molecular packing motifs.

We present experimental results for hybrid ferromagnet/semiconductor devices in which 2D electrons propagate through sub-micron width magnet barriers. Magnetoresistances, , of 1000% are found at low temperatures and 1% at room temperature. We compared the measured behavior with numerical calculations and give the conditions needed to achieve large room temperature .

Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) devices were processed by sputter deposition of Co, Al and NiFe on oxidized Si wafers. After the Al deposition, an ex-situ oxidation in air at room temperature or an in-situ oxidation enhanced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in high purity oxygen at 100 mbar follows. The electrical and magnetic properties of the junctions are measured and discussed concerning spec...

Low-cost hybrid solar cells have made tremendous steps forward during the past decade owing to the implementation of extremely thin inorganic coatings as absorber layers, typically in combination with organic hole transporters. Using only extremely thin films of these absorbers reduces the requirement of single crystalline high-quality materials and paves the way for low-cost solution processin...

Solution processed photovoltaic devices are an attractive alternative to costly inorganic semiconductor based conventional photovoltaics. Solution processable organic photovoltaic systems are affected by low carrier mobility, lifetime issues under ambient conditions and limited optical absorption due to the high bandgaps of organic materials. Nanostructured inorganic materials promise to allevi...
