Built-in Potential of a Pentacene Pin Homojunction Studied by Ultraviolet Photoemission Spectroscopy

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we investigate the energetic alignment in an organic p-i-n homojunction using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The device is made of pentacene and we emploay the small molecules NDN1 for n-doping and NDP2 for p-doping the layers. The full p-i-n structure is deposited stepwise on a silver substrate to learn about the interface dipoles and band bending effects present in the device. From the change in work function between the p- and n-doped layers we gain knowledge of the built-in potential of this junction.
