Fluorescence spectra of colloidal self-assembled CdSe nano-wire on substrate of porous Al <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> /Au nanoparticles
摘要： We present a self-assembly method to prepare array nano-wires of colloidal CdSe quantum dots on a substrate of porous Al2O3 film modified by gold nanoparticles. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of nanowires are in situ measured by using a scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) probe tip with 100-nm aperture on the scanning near-field optical microscope. The results show that the binding sites from the edge of porous Al2O3 nanopores are combined with the carboxyl of CdSe quantum dots’ surface to form an array of CdSe nanowires in the process of losing background solvent because of the gold nanoparticles filling the nano-holes of porous Al2O3 film. Compared with the area of non-self-assembled nano-wire, the fluorescence on the Al2O3/Au/CdSe interface is significantly enhanced in the self-assembly nano-wire regions due to the electron transfer conductor effect of the gold nanoparticles’ surface. In addition, its full width at half maximum (FWHM) is also obviously widened. The method of enhancing fluorescence and energy transfer can widely be applied to photodetector, photocatalysis, optical display, optical sensing, and biomedical imaging, and so on.

Dynamically Switching the Electronic and Electrostatic Properties of Indium Tin Oxide Electrodes with Photochromic Monolayers: Toward Photo-Switchable Optoelectronic Devices
摘要： The chemical modification of electrodes with organic materials is a common approach to tune the electronic and electrostatic landscape between interlayers in optoelectronic devices, thus facilitating charge injection at the electrode/semiconductor interfaces and improving their performance. The use of photochromic molecules for the surface modification allows dynamic control of the electronic and electrostatic properties of the electrode and thereby enables additional functionalities in such devices. Here, we show that the electronic properties of a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode are reversibly and dynamically modified by depositing organic photochromic switches (diarylethenes) in the form of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). By combining a range of surface characterization and density functional theory calculations, we present a detailed picture of the SAM binding onto ITO, the packing density of molecules, their orientation, as well as the work function modification of the ITO surface due to the SAM deposition. Upon illumination with ultraviolet and green light, we observe a reversible shift of the frontier occupied levels by 0.7 eV, and concomitantly a reversible work function change of ca. 60 meV. Our results prove the viability of dynamic switching of the electronic properties of the electrode with external light stimuli upon modification with a monolayer of photochromic molecules, which could be used to fabricate ITO-based photo-switchable optoelectronic devices.

Heat-Assisted Photoacidic Oxidation Method for Tailoring the Surface Chemistry of Polymer Dielectrics for Low-Power Organic Soft Electronics
摘要： The use in low-power soft electronics of the appropriate insulating polymer materials with a high dielectric constant (k) is considered a practical alternative to that of inorganic dielectric materials, which are brittle and have high processing temperatures. However, the polar surfaces of typical high-k polymer insulators are problematic. Further, it is a huge challenge to control their surface properties without damage because of their soft and chemically fragile nature. Here, a heat-assisted photoacidic oxidation method that can be used to effectively oxidize the outermost surfaces of high-k rubbery polymer films without degradation is presented. The oxidized surfaces prepared with the developed method contain large numbers of hydroxyl groups that enable the subsequent growth of dense and ordered self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) consisting of organosilanes. The whole process modifies the surface characteristics of polymer dielectrics effectively. The mechanisms of the oxidation of polymer surfaces and the subsequent SAM growth process are investigated. The resulting surface-tailored rubbery dielectrics exhibit superior electrical characteristics when used in organic transistors. These results demonstrate that this method can be used to realize practical soft organic electronics based on high-k polymer dielectrics.

Threshold Voltage Control in Organic Field-Effect Transistors by Surface Doping with a Fluorinated Alkylsilane
摘要： Doping is a powerful tool to control the majority charge carrier density in organic field-effect transistors and the threshold voltage of these devices. Here, a surface doping approach is shown, where the dopant is deposited on the prefabricated polycrystalline semiconducting layer. In this study, (tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyl)-trichlorosilane (FTCS), a fluorinated alkylsilane is used as a dopant, which is solution processable and much cheaper than conventional p-type dopants, such as 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ). In this work, the depositions from the gas phase and from solution are compared. Both deposition approaches led to an increased conductivity and to a shift in the threshold voltage to more positive values, both of which indicate a p-type doping effect. The magnitude of the threshold voltage shift could be controlled by the FTCS deposition time (from vapor) or FTCS concentration (from solution); for short deposition times and low concentrations, the off current stayed constant and the mobility decreased only slightly. In the low doping concentration regime, both approaches resulted in similar transistor characteristics, i.e., similar values of shift in the threshold and turn-on voltage as well as mobility, ION/IOFF ratio and amount of introduced free charge carriers. In comparison with vapor deposition, the solution-based approach can be conducted with less material and in a shorter time, which is critical for industrial applications.

Hybrid bilayer gate dielectric-based organic thin film transistors
摘要： Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are key building blocks for flexible, low cost electronics systems. They provide a viable alternative for silicon-based electronics with added advantages of low cost and flexibility. However, few issues like high-operating voltage, low-switching speed, high-leakage current and reliability are still a challenge. The overall performance of an OTFT depends on organic semiconductors and gate dielectric interface. In this paper, we review the current status and trends in the choice of dielectric layer for OTFTs. As a starting point, the performance parameters of an OTFT and their dependence on the dielectric layer are briefly discussed. A variety of dielectric materials which includes high-k inorganic, organic, surface coated inorganics and nanocomposites are also presented. The advantages and drawbacks of each of these materials are discussed in detail. We reviewed the latest developments in the dielectric materials especially, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), hybrid bilayers and nanocomposites. SAM-based OTFTs offer several advantages but shift in the threshold voltage remains a concern. Nanocomposites are a latest addition to the dielectric materials, which offer advantages like solution processing and improved dielectric constant but have a rough surface. A hybrid bilayer that incorporates the inorganic dielectric as a base layer and a thin polymer layer over it to improve the surface properties offers several desirable characteristics over the other choices. Hence, we propose that hybrid bilayer gate dielectrics shall play a pivotal role in improving the OTFT performance.

Light-Driven Continuous Twist Movements of Microribbons
摘要： Despite many advances in the development of artificial systems with helical twist motions or deformations, obtaining materials that can undergo continuous twist movements upon an energy input remains a great challenge. In this work, a continuous twist movement of microribbons driven by scanning laser irradiation, a process that a twist generates initially at one end of the microribbon and is continuously transmitted to the other end and then kept twisting, is reported. Key factors to the achievement of this movement are the fabrication of elastic microribbons that possess relatively low elastic modulus and diagonal photoinduced π-stacking distortion relative to the microribbon long axis. Furthermore, the scanning laser irradiation is required to drive the π-stacking distortion with the spatiotemporal coordination for the continuous twist movement of microribbons. These findings may be extended to the achievement of other sophisticated continuous movements of microscale systems.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON) - Valparaiso, Chile (2019.11.13-2019.11.27)] 2019 IEEE CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON) - Fourier-Bessel Shapes in Output Photocurrents and Frequency Chirping Effects from Laser Fields
摘要： Record low values in this material system of threshold current density, particularly at elevated temperature, are presented for InP quantum dot lasers. Lasers with Ga0 .5 8 In0 .4 2 P in the dot upper con?ning layer have the lowest threshold current densities, 138 A·cm?2 at 300 K, and 235 A·cm?2 at 350 K (77 °C) (2-mm lasers, uncoated facets). Gain-current density data suggests laser performance with an upper con?ning layer of Gax In1 ?xP with x = 0.54, 0.56 or 0.58 would be similar if not for the very low internal optical mode loss, αi of samples with x = 0.56 and 0.58. Gain measurements at ?xed inversion level suggest that increasing x content in Gax In1 ?xP increases gain at ?xed inversion level but samples with x = 0.54 also exhibit reduced recombination current density. The increasing recombination current density at elevated temperature due to thermal carrier spreading is signi?cantly reduced in samples with x = 0.56 and x = 0.58 but measurements at common operating points attribute this largely to the reduced αi for these samples and given the same αI , samples with x = 0.54, 0.56 and 0.58 would all bene?t from reduced effects due to thermal carrier spreading compared to x = 0.52.

Performance enhancement of inverted perovskite solar cells through interface engineering by TPD based bidentate self-assembled monolayers
摘要： Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently appeared as a promising photovoltaic technology and attracted great interest in both photovoltaic industry and academic community. Numerous active researches related to the material processing and operational aspects of device fabrication are under progress since PSCs have a great potential for attaining higher performance compared to that of other solar cell technologies. In particular, interfacial engineering is a crucial issue for obtaining high efficiency in solar cells where perovskite absorber layer is deposited between hole and electron transport layers. In inverted type architecture, PEDOT:PSS is used as both hole transport layer and surface modifier; but unfortunately, this material bears instability due to its acidic nature. Thus, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) not only are considered as suitable alternative, but also their application is regarded as an efficient and cost effective method to modify electrode surface since it provides a robust and stable surface coverage. In this context, we have employed two novel N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (TPD) based SAM molecules to customize indium tin oxide (ITO) surface in inverted type PSCs. Furthermore, fine-tuning of spacer groups enables us to study device performance depending on molecular structure. This study proposes promising materials for anode interface engineering and provides a feasible approach for production of organic semiconductor based SAMs to achieve high performance PSCs.

Systematic Modulation of Charge Transport in Molecular Device through Facile Control of Molecule-Electrode Coupling using Double Self-assembled Monolayers Nanowire Junction
摘要： We report a novel solid-state molecular device structure based on double self-assembled monolayers (D-SAMs) incorporated into the suspended nanowire architecture to form “Au | SAM-1 || SAM-2 | Au” junction. Using commercially available thiol molecules that are devoid of synthetical difficulty, we constructed Au | S-(CH2)6-Ferrocene || SAM-2 | Au junction, with various length and chemical structure of SAM-2 to tune the coupling between ferrocene conductive molecular orbital and electrode of the junction. Combining low noise and wide temperature range measurement, we demonstrated systematically modulated conduction depending on the length and chemical nature of SAM-2. Meanwhile, transport mechanism transition from tunneling to hopping, and the intermediate state accompanied by the current fluctuation due to the coexistence of the hopping and tunneling transport channels, were observed. Considering the versatility of this solid-state D-SAMs in modulating the electrode-molecule interface and electroactive groups, this strategy thus provides a novel facile strategy for tailorable nanoscale charge transport study and functional molecular devices.

Effect of the Interface Improved by Self-Assembled Aromatic Organic Semiconductor Molecules on Performance of OLED
摘要： This work focuses on characterization the performance of enhanced interface of organic light emitting diode (OLED) device by Self-assembled Monolayer (SAM) technique. SAM technique is popular in order to overcome the weak bonding at the organic/inorganic interface in OLED. New generation of SAM molecules, phenyl-benzoic-acid (PBA, 4-(9H-carbazol-9-il) benzoic acid (MZ39), 4-(2,5-di-2thienyl-1H-pyrrol-1-il) benzoic acid (MZ25) were coated on between Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). The two con?guration of ITO/SAM/TPD/Al and ITO/TPD/Al diode were fabricated as hole-only device to show the contribution of SAM layer on the hole mobility calculated by Space Charge Limited Current (SCLC) technique. The optical characterization of OLED devices with con?guration ITO/TPD/Alq3/Al and ITO/SAM/TPD/Alq3/Al was performed to see the effect of aromatic SAM molecules on the luminance and quantum ef?ciency. Especially, the SAM modi?ed OLED has a maximum luminance of 397 cd m?2. All devices containing SAM layer showed better performance than reference one.
