Polymer composite films of tris‐(8‐hydroxy‐quinoline) aluminum (Alq3) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) at two different concentrations were investigated. Dielectric properties of the samples were measured in broad frequency range and results show an increase in specific conductance and susceptance by adding Alq3 in PMMA. Changes in dielectric spectra caused by irradiation of the samples with LED lamps at different wavelengths were also recorded. The samples were examined by UV–Vis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The interaction between Alq3 and the polymer matrix was observed in the photoluminescence spectroscopy spectra. The doping of the PMMA with different concentrations of the Alq3 leads to the unique photodielectric properties of the resulting composite, and that is the main result of this study. Due to its interesting optical and photodielectric properties, PMMA/Alq3 film may find application in solar cells and optoelectronics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
