Carrier Transport Behaviour of Molecular Doped Poly（N—Vinylcabozole）in Polymer Light—Emitting Diodes

Single-layer polymer light-emitting diodes are prepared from blends of poly(N-vinylcarbozole)(PVK) doped with tris(8-hydroxy-quinoline)aluminium(Alq3) of 2wt%(sample a)and 0.2wt%(sample b).The onset of PVK transient electroluminescence(EL) is delayed with respect to that of Alq3 in sample a under pulsed excitation,while the EL onsets of Alq3 and PVK in sample b are simultaneous.The total carrier mobility of the Alq3-rich regions in sample a is larger than that of the PVK-rich regions.However,the total carrier mobility is homogeneous in sample b.the phase image of atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence spectra of samples a and b indicate that the separated phase of samples a and b exists in the PVK-rich and Alq3-rich regions.The variance of the doping concentration and separated phase in blends results in the different carrier transport mobility of Alq3-rich and PVK-rich regions.
