研究目的
Investigating the impact of the structural phase transition between the a- and b-phases in crystalline zinc-phthalocyanine thin films on their luminescent behavior and applying this to tune the emission characteristics of organic light emitting diodes.
研究成果
The study demonstrated an approach to tune the spectral emission of ZnPc thin films by a thermally induced structural transformation, applicable to the preparation of dual luminescent OLEDs with tunable emission characteristics in the near infrared. The concept is of technological interest for implementation in innovative photonic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited by the thermal stability of the materials used and the potential for structural defects induced during the phase transition. The long-term stability of the dual emission characteristics under operation was not fully explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of zinc-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) thin films and their structural and optical characterization before and after a thermally induced phase transition from the a-phase to the b-phase.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
30 nm thick ZnPc films were grown on SiO2 by sublimation under high vacuum. Structural information was obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Princeton Instruments Acton SP-2500i spectrometer with a PIXIS 100BR_eXcelon CCD camera was used for spectrally resolved photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The phase transition was thermally induced and optically monitored. PL spectra were recorded every minute during heating. OLED structures were prepared and their EL was measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The phase transition kinetics were analyzed using the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model.
