摘要
We use electroabsorption spectroscopy and modeling studies to probe the electric field in light-emitting electrochemical cells. At room temperature and constant applied bias, the steady-state internal field is zero For a range of biases. However, when the ions are frozen in place by cooling under steady bias, and the bias is subsequently changed, the profile of the electric potential resembles a typical p-n junction.
