The effect of the emission layer deposition method on the characteristics of OLEDs was studied on the example of the europium mixed ligand complex Eu(tta)3DPPZ (tta: 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, DPPZ: dipyrido[3,2-a:2’c,3’c-c]phenazine), which...
The targeted design of lanthanide-based emitters for solution-processed OLEDs was aimed at the combination of high luminescence efficiency with solubility and charge carrier mobility.
The design of new materials for non-contact temperature sensors is an important task for scientists working in the fields of chemistry, physics, and materials science. In the present paper, a novel cholesteric mixture based on a copolymer doped with a highly luminescent europium complex was prepared and studied. It was found that the spectral position of the selective reflection peak strongly depends on temperature and a shift towards shorter wavelengths is observed upon heating with an amplitude of more than 70 nm, from the red to green spectral range. This shift is associated with the existence and melting of clusters of smectic order, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction investigations. The extreme temperature dependence of the wavelength of selective light reflection provides a high thermosensitivity of the degree of circular polarization of the europium complex emission. The highest values of the dissymmetry factor are observed when the peak of selective light reflection fully overlaps with the emission peak. As a result, the highest sensitivity of 65%/K for luminescent thermometry materials was obtained. In addition, the ability of the prepared mixture to form stable coatings was demonstrated. The obtained experimental results, i.e., the high thermosensitivity of the degree of circular polarization, and the ability to form stable coatings allow us to consider the prepared mixture as a promising material for luminescent thermometry.
