RESUMO

The aim of the present work was to study and analyses the energy and electron transfer process in molecular devices. The molecular devices were fabricated by using the polystyrene polymer because this material, as it was verified in this work, showed a good insulator features. The optical and electrical molecular devices were fabricated by using the spin-coating techniques from the PS, Alq3 and Rh520 solution in organic solvent. The thin film obtained by this technique showed a 200 nm of thickness and 2 nm RMS of roughness, that it is a good parameter values in order to obtain a molecular devices. The thin film of PS with Alq3 and Rh520 as host molecules acts as a good energy transfer device yielding the transfer efficiency of 86%. The transfer efficiency showed dependence on relative concentration of molecules in the PS film and in the good emission an absorption spectra overlapping of molecules. The molecular device of type ITO/PS:Alq3/Al and ITO/PS:Alq3:Rh520/Al used as molecular device of electrical type showed that the electrons transfer mechanism is limited by charge trapped in the localized level between HOMO and LUMO levels of the molecules. The devices of the type ITO/PS:Alq3/Al showed additionally a memory and negative resistance features that it was attributed to the change in the charge trapped levels due to device polarization and to the existence of Al nano particles into the PS film. The results obtained in this work showed high cientific and technological relevance in order to project and fabricate the molecular devices.
