Frequently Asked Questions (15)
Q2. What is the purpose of the X-ray diffraction measurement?
X-ray diffraction measurement were made to ensure that the PTCDA molecules oriented parallel to the substrate in both the FET and LED structures.
Q3. What is the effect of moisture on the FETs?
The FETs did not function in a N2 ambient when the gas was bubbled through a water bath, indicating that moisture adversely affects electron transport in this material while oxygen does not appear to do so.
Q4. What is the ability of Alq to transport electrons?
Their previous work with TAD/Alq LEDs, as well as recent results18 show that Alq has the ability to transport holes in addition to electrons.
Q5. What is the effect of the field-induced carrier in the FET?
Experimental work as well as modeling has shown that, when such FETs are operated in the accumulation mode, most of the field-induced carriers are located within 5 nm of this interface.
Q6. What is the morphology of the PTCDA powder?
Additional characterization of thin film PTCDA morphology was performed with electron diffraction on samples in which PTCDA was deposited on amorphous carbon grids in parallel with the samples used in the x-ray measurements.
Q7. How do the authors test the transport properties of PTCDA?
By varying the thickness of the PTCDA layer, the EL spectra will offer us a means to identify the source of light and to test the transport properties of PTCDA.
Q8. How do the authors fit the EL spectra of PTCDA?
By varying the thickness of the PTCDA ~50 and 100 nm!, the authors can fit the measured EL spectra with the measured absorption and Alq/TAD EL spectra.
Q9. What is the quantum efficiency of LEDs with a PTCDA layer?
The quantum efficiency of LEDs with a PTCDA hole transporting layer sand-wiched between the Alq and the TAD is generally about an order of magnitude lower than LEDs without PTCDA.
Q10. What is the reason why no light is seen even when the devices are tested under vacuum?
The fact that no light is seen even when the devices are tested under vacuum is evidence that electron transport is not favored normal to the molecular planes.
Q11. What is the x-ray spectrum from the PTCDA sample?
The spectrum from the Si/SiO2 /PTCDA sample, the configuration of a FET, has one clear peak near 27.5 deg corresponding to the 102 plane.
Q12. What is the barrier between the Au source and the LUMO of PTCDA?
In the case of the field-effect transistor, there is a ; 1 eV barrier between the Au source/drain ~S/D! electrodes and the LUMO/HOMO of PTCDA.
Q13. What is the significance of the structure of PTCDA films?
More recent structural characterization of PTCDA films grown on Au substrates by Fenter et al. indicate that PTCDA films can be grown quasiepitaxially underthe right conditions resulting in highly ordered films.
Q14. What is the effect of the PTCDA interface on the quantum yield?
It is also possible that there are some effects at the PTCDA/Alq interface which lower the quantum yield relative to the TAD/Alq interface.
Q15. What is the energy barrier between the Au contacts and the PTCDA HOMO?
the energy barrier between the Au contacts and the PTCDA HOMO is unlikely to be the cause of the absence of observable hole transport parallel to the molecular planes.
