The electronic structure of the interface formed by Mg deposition onto 2,5-bis(6 -(2 ,2 -bipyridyl))-1,1-dimethyl-3,4- diphenyl silacyclopentadiene (PyPySPyPy) was investigated using ultraviolet, inverse, and X-ray photoemission spectroscopies. PyPySPyPy is of interest for use as an electron injection/transport layer in high efficiency organic lightemitting diodes. Upon deposition of Mg onto PyPySPyPy there is a shift of the occupied energy level structure to higher binding energy, away from the Fermi level, and ...
Bilayer organic light-emitting diodes based on tris-(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum III have been fabricated where the thickness of the light-emitting layer was varied between 10 and 80 nm while maintaining a constant total thickness of the organic layers. The electroluminescence quantum efficiency of the devices was measured as a function of the emitter thickness, and used to determine the width of the carrier recombination zone at different electric fields. The width of ...
We determined the orbital lineup of the tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) gallium (Gaq3)/Mg interface using combined x-ray and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (XPS and UPS) measurements. The Gaq3 /Mg system is a prototypical model structure for organic electron/low work function electrode transporting materials interfaces found in organic light emitting diodes (OLED). A Gaq3 thin film was grown in 15 steps on a previously sputter-cleaned Mg substrate starting at a 1 nominal thickness up ...
