STRUCTURAL-ANALYSIS OF THE COMPOSITE FILM FABRICATED BY SIMULTANEOUS EVAPORATION OF NICKEL AND PHTHALOCYANINE IN VACUUM

A composite film (Ni Pc) was prepared by evaporating nickel (Ni) and phthalocyanine (Pc) simultaneously from different sources in a vacuum . The visible absorption spectra of dilute solutions of the Ni Pc sa mple were measured. As a result, the formation of phthalocyanine compl ex (NiPc) in the sample was confirmed. And, by X-ray diffraction measu rement, electron diffraction measurement and TEM observation of the Ni Pc, the crystallinity and crystallite size of Pc or NiPc component in the sample were found to decrease largely compared with those of Pc deposition only. Such a reaction for NiPc synthesis may be caused by drastic depression in crystallinity of Pc component by simultaneous ev aporation with Ni.
