Zusammenfassung: | The interfacial electronic structures of N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)∕Au, NPB∕C60∕Au, and NPB∕CuPc:C60 composite/Au were investigated by in situ ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy to understand the highly efficient hole injection in organic light-emitting diode. The hole-injection barrier of CuPc:C60∕Au was 0.52eV, while those of CuPc∕Au and C60∕Au were 0.96 and 1.62eV, respectively. The lowered injection barrier is attributed to the smaller interface dipole of CuPc:C60 compared to that of pristine CuPc. This small interface dipole pulled up the highest occupied molecular orbital of CuPc in composite, which results in the decreased hole-injection barrier. |
