Investigation of light programmable non‐volatile memory in an organic phototransistor

Excellent non‐volatile memory characteristics have been demonstrated under the optoelectric conditions for organic phototransistors (OPTs). The high photosensitivity shown as reversible shifts in light‐induced V_TH exhibits a large memory window for programming caused by the excited immobile carriers (electron) trapped as a function of the electrical bias and the light intensity. The long life span of stored electrons also reveals promising behavior with respect to data retention as well as the electrical reliability to serve as a data storage medium with the non‐volatile memory characteristic in OPTs. The V_TH recovery accelerated by the reversible bias stress for the stored charges under irradiation shows that the erasing behavior is clearly brought by the discharge process of long‐lived electrons occupied in deep states. Plausible mechanisms in the energy band are discussed for the programming and erasing process, which provides a fundamental understanding of the intrinsic charge storage behavior in OPTs.

电极肖特基接触对有机光敏晶体管性能的影响

有机光敏晶体管是一种在有机场效应管结构中引入光控“栅极”的新型光探测器件,其光灵敏度、光响应度性能参数与源/漏电极和有源层的接触情况关系密切。本文通过真空蒸发法分别制备了采用金电极和铝电极的单层并五苯及酞菁铜有机光敏晶体管。研究了它们在黑暗和光照条件下的输出及转移特性。结果表明,高迁移率的并五苯有源层更适合搭配接触特性较好的金电极,该器件具有和铝电极器件相同高水平的光灵敏度~3×104,但其光响应度是铝电极器件的13倍;而低迁移率的酞菁铜薄膜较适合搭配能够和有源层形成肖特基接触的铝电极,有利于抑制暗电流、增强激子解离效率、提高光电流,进一步使器件在获得和金电极器件同数量级光响应度的同时,其光灵敏度是金电极器件的102倍。本文对光照下电极/有源层肖特基接触的能带变化做了理论分析,总结归纳了有机光敏晶体管电极材料和有源层材料的初步筛选规律。

The basis of organic spintronics：Fabrication of organic spin valves

Organic spintronics focuses on utilizing the spin degree of freedom in organic materials because of the long spin relaxation time. The vertical organic spin valve (OSV) is a typical sample structure used to study the spin transport phenomena. However, the fabrication of high quality OSVs is difficult, which results in controversial experiment results and hence hinders the development of organic spintronics. In this work, we describe our recent study on the fabrication of typical vertical organic spin valves, La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (LSMO)/Alq₃/Co. The LSMO bottom electrodes are annealed to obtain an atomically smooth surface and improved magnetic properties. The top Co electrodes are deposited by an indirect deposition method to reduce the interfusion between Co and Alq3. The controlled fabrication process provides much better performance and sample yield of OSVs.

驱动电压和主体材料对染料掺杂有机电致发光器件的影响

采用对比使用掺杂系统的有机电致发光器件(OLEDs)在不同偏置电压下电致发光(EL)光谱的方法,观察了主体材料8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum(Alq3)中掺杂红色荧光染料4-(Dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4Hpyran(DCJTB)发射光谱的变化,研究了偏置电压对掺杂系统中载流子复合区域的影响。另外,通过对比采用不同主体材料的掺杂系统的电致发光(EL)和光致发光(PL)光谱,讨论了主体材料Alq3和N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine(NPB)不同的掺杂效果。结果表明,随着偏置电压的增大,使用掺杂系统的器件中载流子复合区域逐渐向空穴传输层(HTL)移动,作为主体材料应具有高的能量传递效率,且应对染料具有低的浓度猝灭效应。

高比探测率和高速石墨烯/n-GaAs复合结构的光电探测器

混合结构的石墨烯/半导体光电晶体管因其超高的响应度而备受关注。然而,该类光电晶体管通过源-漏电极测试得到的比探测率(D*)容易受到1/f噪声的限制。本文制备了混合结构的石墨烯/GaAs光电探测器,通过源-栅电极测得D*大约为1.82×10¹¹ Jones,与通过源-漏电极测量相比,D*提高了约500倍。这可归因于界面上肖特基势垒对载流子俘获和释放过程的屏蔽作用。此外,探测器的上升时间和下降时间分别是4 ms和37 ms,响应速度相应地提高了2个数量级。该工作为制备高比探测率和高速的光电探测器提供了一种新的思路。     

Simulations of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction phototransistors

Heterojunction bipolar phototransistors, based on GaAs technology, are widely used in optoelectronic integrated circuits. One of the methods to improve phototransistor performance is applying a delta-doped thin base, which causes both a higher current gain and a better time response. There is a lack of information about this kind of device in the literature. Our work presents the results of computer simulations of AlGaAs/GaAs n-p-n phototransistors, with a bulk-doped and delta-doped base working as two- and threeterminal devices. The characteristics and device parameters obtained clearly show that phototransistors with delta-doped base have higher sensitivity and a better time response compared to the structures with a bulk-doped base. Based on simulation results, we modified the epitaxial phototransistor structure with a double delta-doped base that should improve device performance.     

CBP/Alq3有机量子阱结构的光致发光

采用多源有机分子气相沉积系统(OMBD)制备了CBP/Alq₃有机多量子阱结构,利用电化学循环伏安特性和吸收光谱、小角X射线衍射、荧光光谱研究了量子阱的能带、结构和光致发光的特性。电化学循环伏安特性和吸收光谱的测量结果表明,CBP的最低占据分子轨道(LUMO)与最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)的位置分别为-2.74,-6.00eV,Alq₃的LUMO与HOMO的位置分别为-3.10,-5.80eV,所以CBP/Alq₃有机量子阱为Ⅰ型量子阱结构。小角X衍射测量显示,在小角的位置(2θ的范围在0°～3°)观察到了对应于量子阱结构的多级布拉格衍射峰,表明多层量子阱结构是有序的层状结构,界面比较完整,界面质量比较好。荧光光谱的研究结果表明,Ⅰ型量子阱结构可以有效地把能量从垒层传递给阱层,从而增强了阱层材料的发光。阱层的厚度对发光峰的位置影响很大,随阱层厚度减小,阱层材料的发光峰出现蓝移现象。并对引起发光峰蓝移的原因进行了讨论。     

Structure of van der Waals bound hybrids of organic semiconductors and transition metal dichalcogenides: the case of acene films on MoS2

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) are important representatives in the emerging field of two‐dimensional materials. At present their combination with molecular films is discussed as it enables the realization of van der Waals bound organic/inorganic hybrids which are of interest in future device architectures. Here, we discuss the potential use of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as supporting substrate for the growth of well‐defined, crystalline organic adlayers. By this means, hybrid systems between the TMDC surface and organic compounds can be prepared, allowing for the profound investigation of mutual optical and electronic coupling mechanisms. As model system, we choose pentacene and perfluoropentacene as prototypical organic semiconductors and analyze their film formation on MoS₂(001) surfaces. In both cases, we observe smooth, crystalline film growth in lying molecular configuration, hence enabling the preparation of well‐defined hybrid systems. By contrast, on defective MoS₂ surfaces both materials adopt an upright molecular orientation and exhibit distinctly different film morphologies. This emphasizes the importance of highly ordered TMDC surfaces with low defect density for the fabrication of well‐defined hybrid systems.

Ultraviolet Phototransistors on AlGaN/GaN Heterostructures

We report on the fabrication and characterization of phototransistors based on AIGaN/GaN heterostructure grown over 6H-SiC substrates. The device has two functions： as a high electron mobility transistor （HEMT） and an ultraviolet photodetector at the same time. As an HEMT, its maximum transconductance is 170mS/ram, while the minimum cutoff frequency fT and the maximum oscillation frequency fm are 19 and 35 GHz, respectively. As a photodetector, the device is visible blind, with an ultraviolet/green contrast of three orders of magnitude, and a responsivity as high as 1700 A/W at the wavelength of 362nm.     

Theoretical studies of the structural,electronic and optical properties of carbazole‐based compounds

Carbazole derivatives have drawn increasing attention recently in organic electronic device applications because of their particular optoelectronic properties. An in‐depth theoretical investigation was elaborated in this paper to reveal the molecular structures, optoelectronic properties, and the structure‐property relationships of different carbazole‐linked functional groups. The geometric and electronic structures in ground and the mobility for the hole and electron are both calculated by density functional theory method. The excited‐state geometries of these compounds were obtained through Single‐excitation Configuration Interaction method, and time‐dependent density functional theory calculation results described the absorption and emission spectra properties, respectively. Some conclusions are as follows: (1) enlarging the π‐conjugated area, the corresponding spectra red shifted markedly; (2) by introducing the electron‐donor such as carbazole, the spectra blue shifted slightly; (3) compared with compound 1, the spectra for these compounds are hardly influenced by introducing an electron‐acceptor or heterocyclic substitution. On all accounts, these compounds are interesting optoelectronic functional materials. On the basis of their structural modifiability, the arylamine derivatives substituted carbazole compounds have great potential in the applications of organic light‐emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and sensors.

Recent progress in design of conductive polymers to improve the thermoelectric performance

Organic semiconductors,especially polymer semiconductors,have attracted extensive attention as organic thermoelectric materials due to their capabilities for flexibility,low-cost fabrication,solution processability and low thermal conductivity.However,it is challenging to obtain high-performance organic thermoelectric materials because of the low intrinsic carrier concentration of organic semiconductors.The main method to control the carrier concentration of polymers is the chemical doping process by charge transfer between polymer and dopant.Therefore,the deep understanding of doping mechanisms from the point view of chemical structure has been highly desired to overcome the bottlenecks in polymeric thermoelectrics.In this contribution,we will briefly review the recently emerging progress for discovering the structure–property relationship of organic thermoelectric materials with high performance.Highlights include some achievements about doping strategies to effectively modulate the carrier concentration,the design rules of building blocks and side chains to enhance charge transport and improve the doping efficiency.Finally,we will give our viewpoints on the challenges and opportunities in the field of polymer thermoelectric materials.
