摘要
Charge transport and gas sensing characteristics of cobalt phthalocyanine films deposited along (ATB) and perpendicular (PTB) to the natural twin boundaries of (001) LaAlO3 substrate have been investigated. The charge carrier mobility of ATB films (similar to 5 cm(2) V-1 s(-1)) is five orders of magnitude higher compared to that of PTB films (similar to 7 x 10(-5) cm(2) V-1 s(-1)), suggesting that twin boundaries acts like a template for ordering of molecules. The ATB films on exposure to ammonia showed a reversible increase of resistance, with fast response and recovery. In contrast PTB films showed same sensitivity, but exhibits base resistance drift along with sluggish response. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
