摘要
In this letter, we investigate electronic structures and electron-injection mechanisms of the effective cathode structures for organic light-emitting devices incorporating cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3), either deposited as an individual thin injection layer or doped into the organic electron-transport layers. The electronic structures and the interface chemistry studied by ultraviolet and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy show that the enhanced electron injection is associated with strong n-doping effects and increase of electron concentrations in the electron-transport layer induced by Cs2CO3. Since such a reaction occurs without the presence of metals, cathode structures incorporating Cs2CO3 may be applied to a wide range of electrode materials. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
