This study examined the effect of adding cesium (Cs) at C-60/rubrene heterointerfaces by using synchrotron-radiation photoelectron spectroscopy. A C-60/rubrene heterostructure is the basis of a novel organic dual device found to facilitate efficient integration of both electroluminescent and photovoltaic functions. With Cs doping, the interfacial dipole potential was considerably enlarged, as was the separation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of C-60 and the highest occupied molecular orbital of rubrene. However, the energy-level diagram indicated that a high Cs concentration prevents the formation of photoexcitons. By contrast, adding a small amount of Cs can effectively improve the efficiency of light-and current-generating devices. In particular, the deficiency of the dopants at the heterointerface may benefit the survival of photoexcitons. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

This study examines the effect of adding magnesium (Mg) at Codrubrene heterointerfaces by using synchrotron-radiation photoetnission spectroscopy. The heterointerface was obtained by depositing C-60 on a 4-angstrom Mg/rubrene surface. The photoemission spectra showed that the added Mg preferentially interacts with and transfers negative charges to C-60. The interfacial dipole potential was significantly enlarged, as was the separation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of C-60 and the highest occupied molecular orbital of rubrene. The results demonstrate that the addition of Mg should be an effective method for improving the efficiency of light- and current-generating devices. (C) 2013 AlP Publishing LLC.
