Electrical and structural studies on copper tetra- tert- butyl phthalocyanine Langmuir-Blodgett films

Copper and zinc derivatives of tetra- tert-butyl phthalocyanine (TBP) form monolayers on the water surface. Electron microscopy of a single monolayer of Cu-TBP supported on amorphous carbon indicates that the film consists of small ordered domains in an amorphous matrix. In-plane conduction is ohmic...

Description
Summary:Copper and zinc derivatives of tetra- tert-butyl phthalocyanine (TBP) form monolayers on the water surface. Electron microscopy of a single monolayer of Cu-TBP supported on amorphous carbon indicates that the film consists of small ordered domains in an amorphous matrix. In-plane conduction is ohmic with a resistivity of approximately 10 4Ωm and an activation energy of 0.19 eV. Preliminary measurements of conduction normal to the plane also indicate ohmic behaviour with a resistivity an order of magnitude higher.
