The Influence of Admixtures in n-Alkanes on Electron Traps

Abstract:

The distribution of electron trap depths in hydrocarbons seems to be continuous in the range from 0.6 eV to 2.2 eV. However, it seems that among the deepest traps in n-heptane also the discrete ones appear as well. The influence of the admixture of other alkane on Ps intensity in alkanes was examined. As far as the admixture of an alkane with a shorter chain is concerned, the depth of the traps and their amount remain almost the same like in the case of the pure solvent. When it comes to essentially non-miscible solid heptane and nonane, a total lack of electron accumulation effects was observed. It is an exception among the mixed alkanes investigated here and needs a careful study.
