Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Plasma-Assisted Hot-Filament Evaporation for Enhancing in Luminescence Properties of Organic Light Emitting Diode

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, silver (Ag) nanoparticles were synthesized using plasma-assisted hot-filament evaporation, both with and without plasma deposition environments. This technique was used for the deposition of the nanoparticles in high-density, with controlling the size and interparticle separation. The size and interparticle separation acted as the primary factors of the variation of the localized surface plasmon resonance characteristics of the nanoparticles. The Ag nanoparticles reflected an additional layer in a typical organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The OLED with the Ag nanoparticles layer resulted in a low operating voltage, with a high luminance that reached 62.9 % under the hydrogen plasma environment, as compared to the reference device (OLED without the Ag nanoparticles layer). The effects of the Ag nanoparticles synthesis layer, both with and without plasma deposition on the OLED luminance, were also discussed.
