Ad. Lu et al., STUDY ON THE STABILITY OF A COPPER PHTHALOCYANINE LANGMUIR-BLODGETT-FILM GAS-SENSITIVE ELEMENT, Thin solid films, 244(1-2), 1994, pp. 955-957
The stability of an asymmetrically substituted copper phthalocyanine (
AsyCuPc) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film gas-sensitive element which showe
d good selective sensitivity to NH3 in air was inspected by an aging t
est on the device. The reasons leading to the change in response chara
cteristic with time are discussed. It is indicated that the change in
gas-sensing response of the AsyCuPc LB film probably arises from the v
ariation in film structure due to the influence of some external facto
r such as environmental temperature and vibration.
