Abstract |
|
|
|
Electrical dark and photo conductivity of vinylferrocene (abbreviated as VFc) doped poly(methylmethacrylate) (abbreviated as PMMA) thin films have been studied in vacuum by using surface type sample cells. VFc doped PMMA thin films were prepared from solution in chloroform. The changes in current have been studied upon photoexcitation (white light) and after turning it off as a function of illumination of light of various intensities (mercury lamp 125 W) and sample cell temperatures. The rise and decay of current have been measured and interesting photoswitching behavior of current in vacuum has been noticed. Photoinduced enhancement in current followed by a quenching in photocurrent during photoexcitation was noticed. The results have been discussed on the basis of formation of photoinduced charge-transfer complexes of VFc with chloroform molecules confined in the PMMA thin films, secondary thermal reaction, creation of photoinduced charge carriers, trapping and detrapping of charge carriers, etc.
