Title: | The impact of ZnO nanotube on the performance of hybrid inorganic/organic light-emitting diode as a single-mode ring-core UV waveguide | Authors: | Rezaie, Mahdiyar Nouri Mohammadnejad, Shahram AHADZADEH, Shabnam |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER | Source: | Surfaces and Interfaces, 28 (Art N° 101666) | Abstract: | After a systematic survey in hybrid inorganic/organic light-emitting heterostructure devices based on ZnO in the last decay, in this novel work, the impact of the single-mode ring-core waveguide based on ZnO nanotube (NT)/MEH-PPV for ultraviolet organic light-emitting diode (UV-OLED) application has been carefully scrutinized for the first time. The proposed structure has been fabricated, simulated and compared with conventional ZnO nanorod (NR)/MEH-PPV structure. To synthesize ZnO NTs, the as-grown chemical bath deposited ZnO NRs have been etched in KCL solution in various molar (M) concentration, etching time and etching temperature. The optimized etching condition is obtained in 1 M concentration of KCL solution, 4 h etching time and 90 degrees C temperature. The structural properties (such as strain, stress and texture coefficient), electrical properties (such as band gap energy) and optical properties (such as Urbach energy, absorbance and photoluminescence spectra) of ZnO NTs have been investigated, systematically. In continue, hybrid UV-OLEDs have been fabricated based on ZnO NRs and ZnO NTs. According to the results, ZnO NT-based OLED depicts superior electrical and optical results including lower turn-on voltage (11.2 V < 15 V) and higher UV peak in electroluminescence spectra with respect to ZnO NR-based device. To acquire more enlightenment about UV emission mechanism, the proposed devices have been simulated through Silvaco TCAD and Lumerical FDTD software. The results from simulations illustrate great agreement with experimental results. Higher radiative recombination rate, higher Purcell factor and single-mode waveguiding effect of ring-core ZnO NT lead to major superiority of the ZnO NT-based UV-OLED fabricated and simulated in this work. | Notes: | Mohammadnejad, S (corresponding author), POB 1684613114, Tehran, Iran.
