Space-charge-limited conductivity in thin vacuum-evaporated cc-form copper
phthalocyanine (CuPc) films with columnar molecular structure perpendicular
to the substrate plane was investigated. The shape of current-voltage char
acteristics and the density-of-states function (DOS) were strongly influenc
ed by adsorbed oxygen. Oxygen formed hole traps distributed in energy about
0.38 eV deep. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
