Abstract

The investigation of the temperature effect on optical properties of porphyrins has tremendous impact for modern organic-based photonics and nanoelectronics. We performed temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy study of H2TPP, ZnTPP tetraphenylporphyrin-based thin films and their composites with C60 fullerene in the range of 77–370 K. The films under study were deposited by vacuum evaporation technique under quasi-equilibrium condition. We experimentally observed a monotonic temperature quenching for H2TPP and H2TPP-C60 films, and abnormal increase of luminescence intensity for ZnTPP and its composite at heating from 77 to 175 K. We suggest that this nonmonotonic behavior is associated with a charge carriers capture on the non-radiative-trapped centers. Further, we have estimated traps activation energy by the Arrhenius equation. Our results carry great importance in view of the widespread research on porphyrins with aim of their future industrial applications.
