TCTA在外电场下的双分子发光现象

ZnS薄膜参数对有机/无机复合发光器件特性的影响

半导体量子点(QDs)具有发光效率高和发光波长可调等特点。采用胶体CdSe QDs作电致发光器件的有源材料,TPD(N,N′-biphenyl-N,N′-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine)作空穴传输层,ZnS作电子传输层,研究了有机/无机复合发光器件ITO/TPD/CdSe QDs/ZnS/Ag的电致发光特性。TPD和CdSe QDs薄膜采用旋涂方法、ZnS薄膜采用磁控溅射方法沉积,器件表面平整。CdSe QDs的光致发光和电致发光谱峰位波长均位于～580 nm,属于量子点的带边激子发光。我们与以前的ITO/ZnS/CdSe QDs/ZnS/Ag发光器件结构进行了对比,发现新的器件结构的电致发光谱没有观察到QDs表面态的发光,而且新器件的发光强度是ITO/ZnS/CdSe QDs/ZnS/Ag结构的～10倍。发光效率的提高归因于碰撞激发与载流子注入两种发光机制并存的结果：一方面电子经过ZnS 层加速后,碰撞激发CdSe QDs发光;另一方面,空穴从TPD层注入CdSe QDs 与QDs中激发的电子复合发光。我们进一步研究了ZnS电子加速层厚度对发光特性的影响,选择ZnS薄膜的厚度分别是80,120 和160 nm,发现随着ZnS层厚度增大,器件启亮电压升高,EL强度增大,但是击穿电压降低。EL峰位随着ZnS厚度的减小发生明显蓝移,对上述实验现象进行了机理解释。     

ZnO纳米棒／MEH-PPV异质结的复合电致隧穿发光

利用低温水热法生长的ZnO纳米棒（ZnO-NRs）,和p型有机半导体材料聚[2-甲氧基-5-（2-乙基己氧基）-1,4-苯撑乙烯撑]（MEH-PPV）复合制备了结构为“ITO/ZnO晶种/ZnO-NRs/MEH-PPV/Al”的发光器件。测试结果发现,该器件具有非常好的二极管整流特性。对ZnO-NRs/M EH-PPV异质结施加超过17 V的反向偏压时,可同时获得两种半导体材料的发光,且ZnO近紫外光（380 nm ）发射强度远大于 M EH-PPV的红橙光强度,发光功率随着反向偏压的增加迅速增强,然而施加正向偏压时未探测到发光。该器件的发光机理不同于其他文献报道的正偏压发光,而属于反偏压发光器件,其发光机理归因于有机无机复合异质结的界面特殊性和ZnO-NRs的纳米尺寸效应,反偏压下器件实现的是载流子隧穿发光,而正偏压时载流子以表面态的无辐射复合及漏电流方式消耗。

Electroluminescence from ZnO nanowires with a p-ZnO film/n-ZnO nanowire homojunction

ZnO homojunction light-emitting diodes based on ZnO nanowires were fabricated on Si(100) substrates. An N–In codoped p-type ZnO film grown by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and an unintentionally doped n-type ZnO nanowire quasi-array grown by an easy low-temperature hydrothermal method were employed to form the homojunction diode. Under a forward bias larger than 8 V, electroluminescence, which was composed of an ultraviolet peak centered at 387 nm and a green band around 540 nm, was observed. The electroluminescence emission was contributed by the ZnO nanowires. The results reported here suggest that ZnO-based ultraviolet light-emitting devices could be realized at low cost.

Aligned growth of ZnO nanowires by NAPLD and their optical characterizations

Not only vertically aligned ZnO nanowires but also horizontally aligned ZnO nanowires have been successfully grown on the annealed (0 0 0 1) c-cut and (1 1 2 0) a-cut sapphire substrates, respectively using catalyst-free nanoparticle-assisted pulsed-laser ablation deposition (NAPLD). The as-synthesized ZnO nanowires exhibit an ultraviolet emission at around 390 nm and the absent green emission under room temperature. The single ZnO nanowire was collected in the electrode gap by dielectrophoresis (DEP). Under the optical pumping, the single ZnO nanowire exhibited UV emission at around 390 nm with several sharp peaks whose energy spacings are almost constant, which greatly differs from the broad UV emission of the film with many nanowires, suggesting ZnO nanowires as candidates for laser media. The single ZnO nanowire showed polarized photoluminescence (PL). The as-synthesized ZnO nanowires could find many interesting applications in short-wavelength light-emitting diode (LED), laser diode and gas sensor.     

Flexible electrically pumped random lasing from ZnO nanowires based on metal–insulator–semiconductor structure

Flexible electrically pumped random laser(RL) based on ZnO nanowires is demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. The ZnO nanowires each with a length of 5 μm and an average diameter of 180 nm are synthesized on flexible substrate(ITO/PET) by a simple hydrothermal method. No obvious visible defect-related-emission band is observed in the photoluminescence(PL) spectrum, indicating that the ZnO nanowires grown on the flexible ITO/PET substrate have few defects. In order to achieve electrically pumped random lasing with a lower threshold, the metal–insulator–semiconductor(MIS) structure of Au/SiO_2/ZnO on ITO/PET substrate is fabricated by low temperature process. With sufficient forward bias, the as-fabricated flexible device exhibits random lasing, and a low threshold current of ～ 11.5 m A and high luminous intensity are obtained from the ZnO-based random laser. It is believed that this work offers a case study for developing the flexible electrically pumped random lasing from ZnO nanowires.

Integration of ZnO nanowires in gated field emitter arrays for large-area vacuum microelectronics applications

Addressable field emitter arrays (FEAs) have important applications in vacuum electronic devices. However, it is important to integrate nanowire emitters into a gated structure without influencing the device structure and maintain the excellent field emission properties of nanowire emitters in the FEAs after the fabrication process. In this study, gate-structure ZnO nanowire FEAs were fabricated by a microfabrication process. The structure combines a planar gate and an under-gate, which is compatible with the preparation of ZnO nanowire emitters. The effect of electrode materials on the field emission properties of ZnO nanowires was studied using a diode structure, and it was found that ZnO nanowire pads on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode showed better field emission performance compared with chromium (Cr) electrode. In addition, effective emission current modulation by the gate voltage was achieved and the addressing capability was demonstrated by integrating the ZnO nanowire FEAs in a vacuum-encapsulated field emission display. The reported technique could be a promising route to achieve large area addressable FEAs.     

Photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties of ZnO films on p-type silicon wafers

A simplified n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction has been prepared by growing n-type ZnO rods on p-type silicon wafer through the chemical vapour deposition method. The reflectance spectrum of the sample shows an independent absorption peak at 384 nm, which may be originated from the bound states at the junction. In the photoluminescence spectrum a new emission band is shown at 393 nm, besides the bandedge emission at 380 nm. The electroluminescence spectrum of the n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction shows a stable yellow luminescence band centred at 560 nm,which can be attributed to the emission from trapped states. Another kind of discrete ZnO rod has also been prepared on such silicon wafer and is encapsulated with carbonated polystyrene for electroluminescence detection. This composite structure shows a weak ultraviolet electroluminescence band at 395 nm and a yellow electroluminescence band. These data prove that surface modification which blocks the transverse movement of carriers between neighbouring nanorods plays important roles in the ultraviolet emission of ZnO nanorods. These findings are vital for future display device design.     

Self-organized transformation to polyaniline nanowires by pulsed energetic electron irradiation in a plasma focus device

An ingenious method for fabricating network of polyaniline nanowires at room temperature in microsecond timescale is demonstrated by using the pulsed electron beam of a plasma focus device. The electron beam of the plasma focus device having a wide range of energies (10-200 keV) was irradiated on to the freestanding polyaniline film. The growth of polyaniline nanowires on the surface of film sample is confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscope images showing nanowires of about 50-80 nm in diameter and up to few tens of micrometers in length.     

Characterizations of low-temperature electroluminescence from ZnO nanowire light-emitting arrays on the p-GaN layer

Low-temperature electroluminescence from ZnO nanowire light-emitting arrays is reported. By inserting a thin MgO current blocking layer in between ZnO nanowire and p-GaN, high-purity UV light emission at wavelength 398 nm was obtained. As the temperature is decreased, contrary to the typical GaN-based light emitting diodes, our device shows a decrease of optical output intensity. The results are associated with various carrier tunneling processes and frozen MgO defects.
