摘要
Octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) is an organic molecule that has unique optical properties, such as high fluorescence quantum yields, strong light absorption, etc. Here we investigate the structural, optical, and electrical characteristics of spin-coated PtOEP thin film. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated an increase in the crystallite of the annealed film. Field emission-scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images clearly showed agglomeration and an increase in the nanoparticle size of the annealed film. The Raman spectra of the thin films revealed symmetrical peak positions and improved peak strength for the annealed film. UV-Vis-NIR and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to examine optical characteristics. The findings demonstrated that energy gap and PL peak emission were significantly influenced by the grown crystallite size as well as a decrease in lattice defect concentration at the grain boundary during annealing. The optical constant and interband transition strength spectra (Jcv) were estimated and addressed. Based on the linear refractive index and optical gap, third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3), nonlinear refractive index n2, and two-photon absorption coefficient, βc of spin-coated PtOEP thin films were calculated and discussed. Finally, the dark current-voltage (J-V) curves were utilized to assess the diode parameters, specifically the zero-bias barrier height (ΦB) and the ideality factor (n), for the ITO/PtOEP/Al diode using thermionic emission theory. Additionally, an investigation was conducted to examine the conduction mechanism of the ITO/PtOEP/Al diode under both forward and reverse bias voltage conditions. On the basis of these findings, spin-coated PtOEP thin films were concluded to be helpful in producing cutting-edge optoelectronic devices. © 2023 Elsevier GmbH
