Electron Injection Enhancement by Diamond-Like Carbon Film in Polymer Electroluminescence Devices

A diamond-like carbon （DLC） film is deposited as an electron injection layer between the polymer light-emitting layer（MEH-PPV） and aluminum （Al） cathode electrode in polymer electroluminescence devices （PLEDs） using a radio frequency plasma deposition system. The source material of the DLC is n-butylamine. The devices consist of indium tin oxide （ITO）/MEH-PPV/DLC/Al. Electron injection properties are investigated through I-V characteristics,and the mechanism of electron injection enhancement due to a thin DLC layer has been studied. It is found that： （1） a DLC layer thinner than 1.0nm leads to a higher turn-on voltage and decreased electroluminescent （EL） efficiency; （2） a 5.0nm DLC layer significantly enhances the electron injection and results in the lowest turn-on voltage and the highest EL efficiency; （3） DLC layer that exceeds 5.0nm results in poor device performance;and（4） EL emission can hardly be detected when the layer exceeds 10.0nm. The properties of ITO/MEH-PPV/DLC/Al and ITO/MEH-PPV/LiF/Al are investigated comparatively.

Ti-containing hydrogenated carbon films fabricated by high-power plasma magnetron sputtering

To improve the characteristics of a diamond-like carbon （DLC） film, Ti-containing amorphous hydrogenated carbon thin films were deposited on sus304 stainless steel substrates by high-power plasma-sputtering with titanium metal as the solid plasma source in a mixed ArC2H2 atmosphere. The films were fabricated to obtain a multilayered structure of Ti/TiC/DLC gradient for improving adhesion and reducing residual stress. The effects of substrate bias and target-substrate distance on the films＇ properties were studied by glow discharge spectroscope, X-ray diffractometer, Raman spectroscope, nanoindenter, and a pin-on-disk tribometer. The results indicate that the films possess superior adhesive strength and toughness.

Thermal effects on structure and photoluminescence properties of diamond-like carbon films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

Un-hydrogenated Diamond-like Carbon （DLC） films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique at different substrate temperature. The Raman spectra, the absorption and the photoluminescence spectra were measured. The dependence of structure and phetoluminescence properties on deposition temperature were studied in detail. The experimental results indicate that the sp^2 sites form small clus ters that consist of both olefinic chains and aromatic ring groups within the sp^3 matrix. With raising deposition temperature,the optical band gaps increase from 1.87 to 2.85 eV. The main band of photoluminescence centered at around 700nm shifts to short wavelength, and the intensity of this band increases. The photoluminescence can be attributed to carrier localization within an increasing sp^2 clusters. It was clarified that the DLC films are ordered with increasing deposition temperature.

Deposition of diamond like carbon films by using a single ion gun with varying beam source

Diamond like carbon films have been successfully deposited on the steel substrate, by using a single ion gun with varying beam source. The films may appear blue, yellow and transparent in color, which was found related to contaminants from the sample holder and could be avoided. The thickness of the films ranges from tens up to 200 nanometers, and the hardness is in the range 20 to 30 GPa. Raman analytical results reveal the films are in amorphous structure. The effects of different beam source on the films structure are further discussed.

Study of colors of diamond-like carbon films

Reflective and transmissive film interference colors were calculated for DLC films on the Si and SiO 2 substrates.The calculated interference colors were compared with photographed colors of the prepared DLC samples.The observed film colors were found to match reasonably well with the corresponding calculated colors,indicating that DLC film colors come from interference instead of color center effects.Color charts for DLC films on the Si and SiO 2 substrates with various optical gaps were constructed,and the relationship between interference color and film properties such as optical gap,thickness and substrate were investigated.Usefulness of the calculated color charts in estimating optical gap or thickness of DLC films were demonstrated.

Visible photoluminescence from ZnO/diamond-like carbon thin films

ZnO/diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films are deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on Si (111) wafer. Visible room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) is observed from ZnO/DLC thin films by fluorescence spectrophotometer. The Gaussian curve fitting of PL spectra reveals that the broadband visible emission contains three components with λ=508 nm, 554 nm and 698 nm. The origin and possible mechanism of the visible PL are discussed, and they can be attributed to the PL recombination of ZnO and DLC thin films.

Optical properties of ZnO thin films grown on diamond-like carbon by pulsed laser deposition

ZnO/diamond-like carbon(DLC)thin films are deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD),and the room-temperature photoluminescence(PL)is investigated.Using a fluorescence spectrophotometer,we obtain the PL spectra of DLC/Si and ZnO/Si thin films deposited at different substrate temperatures.The ZnO/DLC thin films show a broadband emission almost containing the entire visible spectrum.The Gaussian fitting curves of PL spectra reveal that the visible emission of ZnO/DLC thin films consists of three peaks centered at 381 nm,526 nm and 682 nm,which are attributed to the radiative recombination of ZnO and DLC,respectively.The Commission International de l,Eclairage(CIE)1931(x,y)chromaticity space of ZnO/DLC thin films indicates that the visible PL spectrum is very close to the standard white-light region.
