Microstrip notch filters based on open interconnected split ring resonators (OISRRs)

Two kinds of inorganic/organic hybrid junctions based on ZnO nanorods (NRs), i.e. two-layer planar heterojunction and embedded bulk composite structures, were fabricated on ITO glass substrates. Surface photovoltage (SPV) methods based on a Kelvin probe and a lock-in amplifier were respectively utilized to study the photogenerated charges at the surface and the interface in the ZnO-based hybrid junctions. Results indicate that the lock-in SPV response of the bulk composite structure is much higher than its planar counterpart in terms of intensity and spectral range. Therefore, ZnO NR/PF (poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)) embedded bulk composite structures are more suitable and preferred for photovoltaic application.
