Abstract

Organic phototransistors based on high-quality 2,8-dichloro-5,11-dihexyl-indolo[3,2-b]carbazo (CHICZ) single crystals show the highest photoresponsivity of 3×103 A W−1, photosensitivity of 2×104 and the detectivity can achieve 8.4×1014 Jones. We also discovered good linear dependence of log(photosensitivity) versus the wavelength when the devices were illuminated with a series of sameintensity but different-wavelength lights. The organic phototransistors based on CHICZ single crystal have potential applications in wavelength-detection.

摘要

高质量的2, 8 - 二氯- 5, 1 1 - 二己基- 吲哚[ 3, 2 -b] 咔唑(CHICZ)单晶被应用于光电晶体管, 并表现出高性能的光响应度 (Rmax=3×103 A W−1)和光敏感性(Pmax=2×104 以及Dmax*=8.4×1014 Jones). 此外, 我们首次发现当这些器件被一系列相同强度但不同波长的 光照亮时, 光敏度的对数与波长呈现非常好的线性关系. 这一现象为拓展有机光控晶体管在波长检测中的应用提供了新视角.
