Cadmium telluride nanocrystals that form in the TeO2-Li2O-B2O3-P2O5 glass matrix have been synthesized and studied.They are investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD),optical transmission and infrared spectroscopy.It has been shown that the long annealing time effect on present samples leads to the growth of CdTe nanoparticles and an increase of tellurium oxide on the surface of nanocrystallites.On the other hand,the infrared spectroscopy shows that the phosphate and borate networks of the glass matrices are modified with doping by CdTe nanoparticles.
This paper investigates the effects of concentration on the crystalline structure, the morphology, and the charge carrier mobility of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT) field-effect transistors (FETs). The RR-P3HT FETs with RR-P3HT as an active layer with different concentrations of RR-P3HT solution from 0.5 wt% to 2 wt% are prepared. The results indicate that the performance of RR-P3HT FETs improves drastically with the increase of RR-P3HT weight percentages in chloroform solution due to the formation of more microcrystalline lamellae and bigger nanoscale islands. It finds that the field-effect mobility of RR-P3HT FET with 2 wt% can reach 5.78×10^-3 cm^2/Vs which is higher by a factor of 13 than that with 0.5 wt%. Further, an appropriate thermal annealing is adopted to improve the performance of RR-P3HT FETs. The field-effect mobility of RR-P3HT FETs increases drastically to 0.09 cm^2/Vs by thermal annealing at 150 ℃, and the value of on/off current ratio can reach 104.
