First-principles study of the polar O-terminated ZnO surface in thermodynamic equilibrium with oxygen and hydrogen
Using density-functional theory in combination with a thermodynamic formalism
we calculate the relative stability of various structural models of the polar
O-terminated (000-1)-O surface of ZnO. Model surfaces with different
concentrations of oxygen vacancies and hydrogen adatoms are considered.
Assuming that the surfaces are in thermodynamic equilibrium with an O2 and H2
gas phase we determine a phase diagram of the lowest-energy surface structures.
For a wide range of temperatures and pressures we find that hydrogen will be
adsorbed at the surface, preferentially with a coverage of 1/2 monolayer. At
high temperatures and low pressures the hydrogen can be removed and a structure
with 1/4 of the surface oxygen atoms missing becomes the most stable one. The
clean, defect-free surface can only exist in an oxygen-rich environment with a
very low hydrogen partial pressure. However, since we find that the
dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen and water (if also the
Zn-terminated surface is present) is energetically very preferable, it is very
unlikely that a clean, defect-free (000-1)-O surface can be observed in
experiment.Comment: 10 pages, 4 postscript figures. Uses REVTEX and epsf macro
OVPD
The precise control of organic thin film processing by
organic vapor phase deposition (OVPD®) is presented and
analyzed on device level. OVPD® offers accurate and individual control of
deposition layer properties like mixing of several materials (co-deposition)
and the control of various morphologies by a wide process parameter space
given by, e.g. substrate temperature, deposition rate and pressure. The
benefit of precise co-deposition is demonstrated by an OLED with a sensitive
twofold-doped emissive layer and revealed a doping level of 0.26% for the
red dopant with a std. dev. of 0.38%. The effect of the various
morphologies is investigated by optimizing the efficiency of molecular
organic solar cells consisting of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and C60.
With defined process parameters efficiencies of up to 3.0% were
demonstrated
