摘要:
The electric field distribution in organic hetero-layer light-emitting devices based on N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphtyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB) and 8-tris-hydroxyquinoline aluminium (Alq(3)) has been investigated under different bias conditions using capacitance-voltage measurements. Although this method yields primarily information on the differential capacitance, the data give clear evidence for the presence of negative interfacial charges with a density of 6.8 x 10(11)e cm(-2) at the NPB/Alq(3) interface at large reverse bias. This leads to a jump of the electric field at the interface and a non-uniform field distribution in the hetero-layer device. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
