AbstractInterfacial electronic structures related to organic electroluminescent (EL) devices were studied by UV photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). The two classes of interfaces studied were: (1) interfaces in a typical multilayer device AI/AIq3TPD/ITO, where Alq3 is tris(8-hydroxyquinolino)- aluminum, TPD is N,N×-diphenyl-NN×-(3-methylphenyl)- 1, 1‘-biphenyl-4,4’-diamine, and ITO is indium tin oxide, and (2) TTN/metals and TCNQ/metals interfaces, where TTN is tetrathianaphthacene and TCNQ is tetracyanoquinodimethane. The UPS studies of the specimen formed by the successive deposition of TPD, Alq3, and Al on ITO revealed interfacial energy diagrams, with the vacuum level shift of - 0.25 eV (downward) and - 0.1 eV (downward) at the TPD / ITO and the Alq3 / TPD interfaces, respectively. The deposition of TTN and TCNQ on metals showed opposite direction of the shift of the vacuum level, with the positive and negative charge at the vacuum side. This can be explained by considering the chargetransfer between the metal and the organic molecule, with these directions being consistent with the electron donating and accepting ability of these molecules.

ABSTRACTElectronic structures of the ionic liquids were studied by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES). The sample materials contain 1-buthyl-3-alkylimidazolium ion [Cnmim]+ (n=4, 8, 10) as the cation in combination with fluorine-containing anions (tetrafluoroboronate BF4−, hexafluorophosphate PF6−). Comparing the calculated density of states with the observed spectra, we found that the ionization thresholds of these ionic liquids are determined by the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) of the cation, although the calculated HOMOs of the isolated anions are higher than that of isolated cation. The combination of the UPS and IPES results reveals that the band gaps of these ionic liquids are determined by only cation.
