ABSTRACTThe photocurrent behavior in polydiacetylene (PDA) single crystals of PTS (poly-(2, 4-hexadiyne-1, 6-diol bis(p-toluenesulfonate)) and MADF (poly-(1-(3-(methylamino)phenyl)-4-(3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl)-phenyl) butadiyne)) have been investigated by using steady state photoconductivity measurements. These measurements were carried out as a function of sample temperature and incident light polarization. PTS and MADF show completely different behavior in these measurements. These differences between PTS and MADF suggest that the side groups of PDA strongly influence the photocurrent behavior in PDA.

ABSTRACTCharge carrier generation and transport mechanisms in polydiacetylene thin film single crystals., poly-PTS (2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol bis(p-toluenesulfonate)) and poly- BTFP (bis-(4-n-butyl-2,3,5,6-tetra-fluorophenyl) butadiyne), are studied by using steady state and transient photoconductivity techniques. The electric field dependence of the steady state photocurrent is superlinear for both samples. Dependence of photocurrent on incident light polarization has been investigated. The polarization dependence of photocurrent has completely different behavior for the polydiacetylene PTS and BTFP. Single-gap transmission line experiment has been designed to directly measure the drift velocity of PTS single crystals. A drift velocity of the order of 106cm/s was measured.

Use of the electron microscope to examine wet objects is possible due to the small mass thickness of the equilibrium pressure of water vapor at room temperature. Previous attempts to examine hydrated biological objects and water itself used a chamber consisting of two small apertures sealed by two thin films. Extensive work in our laboratory showed that such films have an 80% failure rate when wet. Using the principle of differential pumping of the microscope column, we can use open apertures in place of thin film windows.Fig. 1 shows the modified Siemens la specimen chamber with the connections to the water supply and the auxiliary pumping station. A mechanical pump is connected to the vapor supply via a 100μ aperture to maintain steady-state conditions.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this work is to provide the basis for the interpretation of the steady state lateral photoeffect observed in p-i-n a-Si:H ID Thin Film Position Sensitive Detectors (ID TFPSD). The experimental data recorded in ID TFPSD devices with different performances are compared with the predicted curves and the obtained correlation's discussed.

Organic phototransistors capable of absorbing in the visible light spectrum without color filters are the best alternatives to conventional inorganic phototransistors. In this study, the effect of illumination on the electrical characteristics of a solution-processed poly(3-hexylthiophene): 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene-blend thin-film transistor (TFT) was investigated. The wavelengths of the irradiated light were determined from the absorbance spectrum of the blended film and changes in the transistor’s electrical characteristics were explained in relation to the electrical and light absorption properties of each component material. The photosensitivity and absorbing properties of the blended TFT were enhanced at 515 and 450 nm and exhibited positively shifted threshold voltages under incident light. The results indicated that the photo-generated exci-ton pair characteristics matched the absorbance properties of the blended material and that the absorption and photocurrent characteristics of the respective components could be combined. This process for the heterogeneous blending of organic semiconductors has the potential to improve phototransistor performance and contribute to the development of broadband absorbing phototransistors.
