Abstract
Abstract The interfacial electronic structure of layer-by-layer 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTB)/fullerene C 60 was investigated using ultra-violet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). Photoemission data of period of DCJTB/C 60 /DCJTB films suggested the formation of surface dipole and interfacial band bending across the interfaces, which greatly facilitates the charge transfer from DCJTB to C 60 and from C 60 to DCJTB layer as well. When applied this layer-by-layer structure to a near-infrared photodetector, a maximum of photocurrent was achieved by the device with 3 periods of DCJTB/C 60 thin films. Finally, the detailed work mechanism of this detector was discussed.
