Abstract
A metal nanomesh structure with regularly arranged nanosized holes has a light transmission property at a certain wavelength region and good conductivity; therefore, it can be applied to the wavelength-selective electrode of optical devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells. In this study, Ag nanomesh structures with hole arrays of different sizes and periods were fabricated, and their electrical and optical properties were evaluated. Alq3, a green light-emitting material for OLEDs, was deposited on the fabricated Ag nanomesh, and its transmission, scattering, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra were investigated. The PL intensity of Alq3 was approximately four times higher than that without the Ag nanomesh. Time-resolved PL measurements showed the presence of a short-lived component in all samples with Ag nanomesh, indicating plasmonic emission enhancement. These results indicate that Ag nanomeshes can be applied as plasmonic electrodes in optical devices.
