Charge transport in monolayer poly（3-hexylthiophene） thin-film transistors

It is found that ultrathin poly（3-hexylthiophene） （P3HT） film with a 2.5 nm-thick layer exhibits a higher mobility of 5.0× 10-2 cm2/V-s than its bulk counterpart. The crystalline structure of the as-fabricated ultrathin P3HT layer is verified by atomic force microscopy as well as grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Transient measurements of the as-fabricated transistors reveal the influence of the interface traps on charge transport. These results are explained by the trap energy level distribution at the interface manipulated by layers of polymer film.     

Effects of concentration and annealing on the performance of regioregular poly（3-hexylthiophene） field-effect transistors

This paper investigates the effects of concentration on the crystalline structure, the morphology, and the charge carrier mobility of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT) field-effect transistors (FETs). The RR-P3HT FETs with RR-P3HT as an active layer with different concentrations of RR-P3HT solution from 0.5~wt% to 2~wt% are prepared. The results indicate that the performance of RR-P3HT FETs improves drastically with the increase of RR-P3HT weight percentages in chloroform solution due to the formation of more microcrystalline lamellae and bigger nanoscale islands. It finds that the field-effect mobility of RR-P3HT FET with 2~wt% can reach 5.78× 10^-3~cm²/Vs which is higher by a factor of 13 than that with 0.5~wt%. Further, an appropriate thermal annealing is adopted to improve the performance of RR-P3HT FETs. The field-effect mobility of RR-P3HT FETs increases drastically to 0.09~cm²/Vs by thermal annealing at 150~℃, and the value of on/off current ratio can reach 10^4.     

Vacuum relaxation and annealing-induced enhancement of mobility of regioregular poly（3-hexylthiophene） field-effect transistors

In order to enhance the performance of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT) field-effect transistors (FETs), RR-P3HT FETs are prepared by the spin-coating method followed by vacuum placement and annealing. This paper reports that the crystal structure, the molecule interconnection, the surface morphology, and the charge carrier mobility of RR-P3HT films are affected by vacuum relaxation and annealing. The results reveal that the field-effect mobility of RR-P3HT FETs can reach 4.17×10^ - 2~m²/(V.s) by vacuum relaxation at room temperature due to an enhanced local self-organization. Furthermore, it reports that an appropriate annealing temperature can facilitate the crystal structure, the orientation and the interconnection of polymer molecules. These results show that the field-effect mobility of device annealed at 150~℃ for 10 minutes in vacuum at atmosphere and followed by placement for 20 hours in vacuum at room temperature is enhanced dramatically to 9.00×10^ - 2 ~cm²/(V.s).     

Effects of optical interference and annealing on the performance of poly （3-hexylthiophene）： fullerene based solar cells

<正>In this paper,the effects of optical interference and annealing on the performance of P3HT:PCBM based organic solar cells are studied in detail.Due to the optical interference effect,short circuit current density(J_SC) shows obvious oscillatory behaviour with the variation of active layer thickness.With the help of the simulated results,the devices are optimized around the first two optical interference peaks.It is found that the optimized thicknesses are 80 and 208 nm.The study on the effect of annealing on the performance indicates that post-annealing is more favourable than pre-annealing.Based on post-annealing,different annealing temperatures are tested.The optimized annealing condition is 160℃for 10 min in a nitrogen atmosphere.The device shows that the open circuit voltage V-（OC） achieves about 0.65V and the power conversion efficiency is as high as 4.0%around the second interference peak.     

Self-organization effect in poly（3-hexylthiophene）： methanofullerenes solar cells

This paper studies the self-organization of the polymer in solar cells based on poly（3-hexylthiophene）： [6, 6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester by controlling the growth rate of active layer. These blend films are characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, charge-transport dark J - V curve, x-ray diffraction pattern curve, and atomic force microscopy. The results indicate that slowing down the drying process of the wet films leads to an enhanced selforganization, which causes an increased hole transport. Increased incident light absorption, higher carrier mobility, and balanced carrier transport in the active layer explain the enhancement in the device performance, the power conversion efficiency of 3.43% and fill factor up to 64.6% are achieved under Air Mass 1.5, 100 mW/cm^2.     

Degraded model of radiation-induced acceptor defects for GaN-based high electron mobility transistors （HEMTs）

Using depletion approximation theory and introducing acceptor defects which can characterize radiation induced deep-level defects in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, we set up a radiation damage model of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) to separately simulate the effects of several main radiation damage mechanisms and the complete radiation damage effect simultaneously considering the degradation in mobility. Our calculated results, consistent with the experimental results, indicate that thin AlGaN barrier layer, high Al content and high doping concentration are favourable for restraining the shifts of threshold voltage in the AlGaN/GaN HEMT; when the acceptor concentration induced is less than 10¹⁴cm^-3, the shifts in threshold voltage are not obvious; only when the acceptor concentration induced is higher than 10¹⁶cm^-3, will the shifts of threshold voltage remarkably increase; the increase of threshold voltage, resulting from radiation induced acceptor, mainly contributes to the degradation in drain saturation current of the current--voltage (I--V) characteristic, but has no effect on the transconductance in the saturation area.     

Optical properties of polymer poly（phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone） film waveguide

The optical properties of novel polymer poly（phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone, PPESK） film waveguide are studied by prism coupler. The optical properties of PPESK-8020, including refractive index, birefringence, thermo-optical coefficient and optical loss, are demonstrated. This kind of material has the advantages of low optical loss （less than 0.24 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.52 dB/cm at 1550 nm） and high thermal stability （1% weight loss temperature： 488 ℃）. Due to these excellent properties, it may have great potential in optical waveguide applications.     

A comparative study of YBa2Cu3O7-δ/YSZ bilayer films deposited on silicon-on-insulator substrates with and without HF pretreatment

Highly epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) bilayer thin films have been deposited on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates by using in situ pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. In the experiment, the native amorphous SiO2 layers on some of the SOI substrates are removed by dipping them in a 10% HF solution for 15 s. Comparing several qualities of films grown on substrates with or without HF pretreatment, such as thin film crystallinity, general surface roughness, temperature dependence of resistance, surface morphology, as well as average crack spacing and crack width, naturally leads to the conclusion that preserving the native SiO2 layer on the surface of the SOI substrate can not only simplify the experimental process but can also achieve fairly high quality YSZ and YBCO thin films.

For devices at 130℃ annealing, maximum power conversion efficiency （PCE） of 3.3% and All factor up to 60.3% is achieved under air mass 1.5, 100 m W/cm^2 illumination. We discuss the effect of thermal annealing by the results of ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy （UV-vis）, dark current-voltage curve, atomic force microscopy （AFM）.     

Solvent-vapour treatment induced performance enhancement of amplified spontaneous emission based on poly[2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene]

In this work,performance enhancements of amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) from poly[2-methoxy-5-(2éthyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene](MEH-PPV) have been achieved via solvent vapour treatment.Correlations between the morphology of the film and the optical performance of polymer-based ASE are investigated.The active layers are characterised by atomic force microscopy and optical absorption.The results show that the solvent-vapour treatment can induce the MEH-PPV self-organisation into an ordered structure with a smooth surface,leading to enhanced optical gain.Thus the solvent-vapour treatment is a good method for improving the optical properties of the MEH-PPV.

Polaron and ion diffusion in a poly(3-hexylthiophene) thin-film transistor gated with polymer electrolyte dielectric

Electrolytes are finding applications as dielectric materials in low-voltage organic thin-film transistors (OTFT). The presence of mobile ions in these materials (polymer electrolytes or ion gels) gives rise to very high capacitance (>10 μF/cm²) and thus low transistor turn-on voltage. In order to establish fundamental limits in switching speeds of electrolyte gated OFETs, we carry out in situ optical spectroscopy measurement of a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) OTFT gated with a LiClO₄:poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO) dielectric. Based on spectroscopic signatures of molecular vibrations and polaron transitions, we quantitatively determine charge carrier concentration and diffusion constants. We find two distinctively different regions: at V _G≥−1.5 V, drift-diffusion (parallel to the semiconductor/dielectric interface) of hole-polarons in P3HT controls charging of the device; at V _G<−1.5 V, electrochemical doping of the entire P3HT film occurs and charging is controlled by drift/diffusion (perpendicular to the interface) of ClO₄ ⁻ counter ions into the polymer semiconductor.
