摘要：

Manganese phthaloyanine polymer thick films were fabricated using screen-printing techniques. The optical parameters were obtained from the analysis of the absorption spectra over a wavelength range of 385-900nm. The d. c. electrical measurements were carried out in a range of 0-30 volts. The effects of gamma-radiation on the optical and the electrical properties were investigated for dosimetry applications. The optical energy band gaps of these films showed a decrease in their values with the increase in the radiation dose. The electronic transition has changed from direct allowed for the as-printed films (unexposed to gamma-rays) to indirect allowed for the irradiated samples. Both the as-printed and irradiated Ag/MnPc/Ag devices demonstrated a Schottky conduction mechanism. Both the absorbance and the capacitance of the MnPc thick films displayed a highly consistent linear response to gamma-ray exposure.
