Abstract
The effect of injected charges on fluorescence of organic thin films c onsisting of the donor molecule tetra(N,N-diphenyl-4-aminopheny-1)ethy lene (TTPAE) was investigated. Fluorescence was efficiently quenched b y charge injection. By comparison of fluorescence measurements and cur rent measurements, it was found that hole injection had essential role in fluorescence quenching and electron injection did not. Coulomb int eraction between photoexcited molecules and injected carriers was foun d to cause fluorescence quenching. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A, All rights reserved.
