Abstract

Single-phase crystalline luminophore tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) has been synthesized at Т = 483 K and a partial pressure of 8-hydroxyquinoline vapor from 0.15 to 6.12 Torr. The influence of P 8-Hq on the luminescent characteristics of crystalline Alq3 samples has been studied. It has been found that an increase in P 8-Hq led to a shift of the photoluminescence-band maximum and to a change in the photoluminescence-decay kinetics. It has been shown that Alq3 synthesized at Т = 483 K and P 8-Hq = 6.12 Torr had the most stable spectral-luminescent characteristics. The results obtained are discussed taking into account defect formation in crystalline Alq3.
