PURITY-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS IN ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTION.

Abstract

The removal of naturally occurring impurities from oxazole scintillators reduced both the dark and photoconductivity. The addition of charge-transfer acceptors (e.g. chloranil) reduced the Ip/Id ratio in the host at concentrations as low as 0.00001 mole fraction. Impurities reduced both Ip/Id and solid state fluorescence values. Sodium salicylate and 1,3,4,7-tetraphenylisobenzofuran were also studied. The dark conductivities of the cyanine (photosensitizing) dyes showed a decrease in activation energy with increasing molecular conjugation. Flash photolysis was investigated as an analytical tool. Triplet state absorption in anthracene was absent when highly purified reagents were used. (Author)
