Abstract

Thin films of poly-d-lysine act as polar organic and are also light sensitive. The capacitance-voltage, current-voltage, and transistor behavior were studied to gauge the photoresponse of possible poly-d-lysine thin film devices both with and without methylene blue as an additive. Transistors fabricated from poly-d-lysine act as inverse phototransistors, i.e., the on-state current is greatest in the absence of illumination. The poly-d-lysine thin film capacitance and the transistor current decrease with illumination, both with and without methylene blue as an additive. This suggests that the unbinding of photo exciton is significantly hindered in this system which is supported by the significant charge carrier lifetime for poly-d-lysine films both with and without methylene blue. For the majority carrier, the transistor geometry appears to depend on the gate voltage; in other words, the majority carrier depends on the polarization of the poly-d-lysine films, both with and without methylene blue as an additive.
