Temperature dependent photoluminescence of ZnSe/Alq3 hybrid heterostructure

Abstract

II-VI inorganic/organic heterostructures consisting of ZnSe and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) were prepared by electron beam evaporator. Alq3 layer with 20 nm was grown between 200-nm ZnSe layers. Photoluminescence measurement was conducted at various temperatures in order to investigate the important temperature-dependent parameters of this structure. PL spectra revealed thermal population of exciton state and the change in PL quantum efficiency of the film. © 2008 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
