Abstract

Investigations of the electrical characteristics of benzylated cyclodextrins (β-CDs (Bz)) diodes are reported. We present current–voltage characteristics and impedance spectroscopy measurements performed on partially benzylated cyclodextrins β-CDs (Bz) thin films in sandwich structures ITO/b-CDs (Bz)/Al. The static electrical characterizations show a space charge limited conduction (SCLC) and a conductivity with power low frequency behavior characteristic of a hopping transport in disordered materials. The impedance spectra can be discussed in terms of an equivalent circuit model designed as a parallel resistor Rp and capacitor Cp network in series with resistor Rs. We extract numerical values of these parameters by fitting experimental data. Their evolution with bias voltages has shown that the SCLC mechanism is characterized by an exponential trap distribution. We estimated from the capacitance voltage characteristic an acceptor concentration of about 1011 cm−3 due to trap states.
