Electrooptical Analysis of Effects Induced by Floating Metallic Interlayers in Organic LEDs

The aim of this paper is to investigate the electrical and optical property modifications that can be related to the presence of a nanometric metallic layer at the interface between two organic emissive materials in a stacked structure. For purposes of comparison, reference devices have also been analyzed to emphasize the increase of electrical switching and hysteresis behaviors in current-voltage plots and spectral variations in electroluminescence. In this paper, we have tried to summarize the electrical effects of the floating nanometric thin metallic layer by extracting a small number of parameters which can represent the current state of the device.
