摘要
We have found that polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) contain high concentrations of metal impurities prior to operation. Narrow peaks in the electroluminescence spectrum unambiguously demonstrate the presence of atomic indium and aluminum. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling data corroborate this result. An average indium concentration of 5 x 10(19)atoms/cm(3) originating from the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode has been found in the polymer layer. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
