A transparent anode imaging technique was used to record the spatial distribution of individual emission sites and the total emission current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of the films. This study has revealed that stable electron emission can be obtained from both types of film at fields as low as 3 - 6 MV/m. A quasi-direct tunneling model is proposed to explain the observed emission.","PeriodicalId":362287,"journal":{"name":"Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125105096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In time resolved luminescence spectra, with increasing the delay times (ns), the broad emission band shifts to low energy side and full width at half maximum decreased, which showed the typical characteristic of donor-acceptor pairs (DAP) emission. And then, the reason that the excitonic emission peak and the DAP band decay with same speed was discussed and it was attributed to the free carriers relax effect.","PeriodicalId":362287,"journal":{"name":"Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115038039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hematin LB films were deposited on quartz and glass substrates.

The absorption spectra of the film recover back when the exposing gas was cut off. While for the film deposited on glass substrate, there is no significant change in the spectra due to this gas. Atomic force microscope images were taken for the hematin LB films both on glass and quartz substrates. Both images show different features indicating that the optical respond of the films to the gas depends on the arrangement of molecules on the substrate.","PeriodicalId":362287,"journal":{"name":"Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127708512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
