Abstract

Abstract Photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra of undoped spiro-TAD films and spiro-TAD films doped either by the organic dyes coumarin 7 or DCM as well as by both of these dyes simultaneously were investigated at different dye concentrations. A widened PL spectrum caused by doping was encountered and violet-to-red emission was obtained. It was established that excitation of the dyes is realized most efficiently through spiro-TAD. The overall integral PL intensity of the coumarin 7 doped films increased with dye concentration due to the suppression of nonradiative recombination in the film caused by a transfer of spiro-TAD excitation energy to the dye molecules. Mainly radiative energy transfer from semiconductor to dye molecules occurs in the case of DCM doping. No mutual influence on the luminescence of both dyes in the spiro-TAD film was observed and as a consequence, the PL band intensity of each dye can be adjusted separately.
