Impact Thickness on Structural and Electrical Characterization of Nickel Phthalocyanine Thin Films

Abstract

Thin films of Nickel Phthalocyanine have been prepared by evaporation technique for (50-350 nm) of thickness. XRD studies show that the thin films have single crystalline structure for low thicknesses with (100) orientation and the crystallite size increased with increased thickness. Also from the AFM technique for NiPc films, the roughness was determined and the grain size increases with increasing of thickness from except at thickness 350 nm. The studies of electrical properties, morphology and orientations of the crystallites are important to understand and predict the nature of the films and essential for their successful applications in solar cell and sensors. The electrical properties of these films were studied with different thickness, NiPc has three activation energy. Carrier's concentration and mobility was calculated. Hall measurements showed that all the films are p-type.

Adsorption and passivation behavior of copper alloy by phthalocyanine complexes in an aqueous chloride solution

“…В последнее время область применения ФЦ сильно расширилась в связи с открытием у них оптических и электрических свойств, а также термической устойчивости [6]. Для улучшения электрической, оптической и термической стабильности более 70 различных ионов металлов могут быть введены в центральную полость ФЦ [4,7]. ФЦ могут применяться не только как датчики газа и солнечные элементы [8], но и как фотокатализаторы и фотосенсибилизаторы [9].…”

Synthesis, Characterization and Gas Sensor Application of New Composite Based on MWCNTs:CoPc:Metal Oxide

“…Mono or binuclear metal phthalocyanines are widely used in solar cell, sensor, and light-emitting device (17). More than 70 different metal ions into the central cavity can be introduced to improve physical properties of the phthalocyanine which can be with different electrical, optical, and their thermal stability (12,18). Phthalocyanines are the second most important class of colorant compounds (14,15).…”
