Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the related technical field of photoelectric measurement, and particularly relates to a method and a device for measuring the exciton orientation of a luminescent material.
Background
The exciton orientation of the light emitting material determines the physical and optical properties of the film layer, such as charge mobility, birefringence, ionization potential, etc. Therefore, the photoelectric properties of the light emitting device are closely related to the orientation of excitons of the film layer, such as device lifetime, efficiency, ionization potential, carrier mobility, and the like. Therefore, understanding and controlling the exciton orientation of a light emitting material has been a very important issue in the research of light emitting devices. In terms of optics, one of the methods to improve the light coupling efficiency of light emitting devices is to make the exciton orientation level. When the excitons are oriented horizontally, most of the light is emitted at an angle perpendicular to the substrate of the device, which can reduce the loss of reflected light within the device and thus increase the external quantum efficiency and the proportion of light extracted from the device. Among all the methods, this method is suitable for most cases and is simple and convenient because it can be used independently of the manufacturing equipment; and no extra processing steps such as gratings, high-refractive-index layers and the like are required to be introduced, and no extra processing of a substrate or other functional layers is required. Electrically, the horizontal exciton orientation not only increases the efficiency of the device, but also has an effect on the transport of charge. When the excitons of the charge transport layer of the light emitting device are in the horizontal direction, the disorder degree can be reduced, the overlap of pi-pi bonds is increased, and the mobility of charge carriers can be improved by 30 times. Therefore, understanding and controlling the exciton orientation in light emitting materials has been a very important research topic in electronics and photonics, including applications in liquid crystals, semiconductors, organic field effect transistors (OTFTs), Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs), Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), where pursuing horizontal exciton orientation of light emitting materials is a culprit to improve the coupling efficiency of light emitting devices.
To better explore the exciton orientation of the light-emitting material, the efficiency of the light-emitting material is improved. Many optical measurement methods are used for analyzing the molecular orientation, such as ellipsometry, excited state lifetime measurement, angle resolution electroluminescence measurement, measurement of absorption before and after thermal annealing, and angle resolution photoluminescence measurement. The excited state lifetime method is to measure the excited state lifetime of the light emitting layer at different distances from the high reflectivity layer (e.g., the OLED cathode). The method still has large errors, and the method is inaccurate when applied to triplet-triplet exigences, triplet polaron exigences and exciton generation delay of fluorescent materials. The absorption amount before and after thermal annealing is measured, namely the absorption amount before and after annealing is measured to calculate the molecular orientation. This method does not require a mold, is quite simple but requires that the luminescent material be isotropically oriented prior to thermal annealing and the results are not quite accurate. At present, ellipsometry is commonly used to measure the optical constants of materials to determine the molecular orientation of luminescent materials, which is to measure the polarization and phase changes of linearly polarized light (S light and P light) reflected by a sample for multiple times, however, this measurement method is not suitable for doped material systems.

The angle-resolved photoluminescence spectrum measuring device is the measuring device for the exciton orientation of the luminescent material, and the measuring device comprises a light source 101, an emission optical system 1, a receiving optical system 3 and a spectrometer 109 which are sequentially arranged along the horizontal direction at intervals. The light source 101 is a light-emitting layer for irradiating a light-emitting material to be measured so that the light-emitting layer emits light. The light source 101 selects a single-wavelength ultraviolet LED light source with higher energy to ensure the power, and the volume of the whole device is reduced.
The emission light source system 1 includes a first optical filter 102, a focusing lens 103, and a diaphragm 104, wherein stray light is filtered from light emitted from the light source 101 through the first optical filter 102, light beams of the light source are focused through the focusing lens 103, an interface agent of the light is adjusted through the diaphragm 104, and the stray light is prevented from entering, so that the purpose of controlling the size of a light spot is achieved, and the size of the light spot is smaller than 1mm × 1 mm.
The transmission mechanism 2 includes an electric rotating platform 106, the emission optical system 1 is disposed on the electric rotating platform 106, and the light source 101, the first optical filter 102, the focusing lens 103, the diaphragm 104, and the semi-cylindrical fused silica lens 105 rotate together with the electric rotating platform 106. The light spot irradiates on the organic light-emitting sample, and the sample emits light.
The receiving optical system 3 comprises a wire grid polarizer 107, a second optical filter 108 and an optical fiber, after a sample is excited, emergent light passes through the semi-cylindrical fused quartz lens 105, polarization vectors of light emitted by dipoles in the vertical direction are all parallel to an incident plane, polarized light (namely P light) parallel to horizontal plane incident is collected through the polarizer, then light of a light source is filtered through the optical filter, light waves are coupled into the optical fiber, and light intensity of the P polarized light recorded by only the spectrometer 109 is transmitted.

The transmission mechanism is mainly used for providing power to realize multi-angle rotation, and the purpose of angle resolution is achieved. The rotating arm mechanism is used for bearing the emission optical system and the sample table and providing installation positions for the optical elements, so that all the light source elements of the emission optical system and the sample table can be on the same straight line. The rotating arm mechanism consists of a mounting bracket, a support rod, a sleeve, a cage plate connecting rod and the like.
For the compactness of the angle-resolved photoluminescence spectrum measuring device, the sample stage is set to be capable of installing a semi-cylindrical fused quartz lens and reasonably placing a sample. The sample stage is the center of rotation and should be on the central axis. By installing the bracket on the rotating motor and fixing the sample stage and the plano-convex cylindrical mirror at the same time, the sample and the emission light source system are ensured to rotate together and be in a straight line.
The measuring device performs a calibration before the measurement. The light source enters the emission optical system from a certain angle, the light wave generated by the sample after being excited is emitted through the semi-cylindrical fused quartz lens, and the receiving optical system receives signals; meanwhile, when the transmitting optical system rotates a certain angle, the receiving optical system can receive signals. To achieve this, the angle-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy measurement system needs to meet the following requirements: firstly the optical paths of the transmitting optical system must be coaxial and secondly the optical paths of the receiving optical system must also be coaxial. The optical path of the receiving optical system is defined to be 0 °, and when the transmitting optical system is also 0 °, the optical path of the transmitting optical system must be coaxial with the receiving optical system. Finally the sample must be coaxial with the emission optics. To achieve this, the calibration method is described with reference to fig. 2, and the specific measures are as follows: the light source 101, the optical filter 102, the focusing lens 103, the aperture 104, and the semi-cylindrical fusion lens 105 are aligned in this order with the optical path, and the polarizing plate 107 and the optical filter 108 are also aligned in this order with the optical path. By covering the reticle alignment target on the optical mount of polarizer 107, only the light wave from the light source is detected without placing a sample. If the light from the light source strikes exactly the center of the reticle alignment target, the transmit optics are aligned with the receive optics. Or detecting the spectrum of-90 degrees by a spectrometer. The light intensity is highest at 0 degree, the spectra of 0-90 degrees and-90-0 degrees are symmetrical according to the 0 degree axis, and the measuring device can be calibrated by using isotropic luminescent materials to fix the 0 degree angle of the rotating motor.

representing the transmit power of the vertical dipole; sigma p2Represents the total transmit power; cos (chemical oxygen demand)2θ represents the average projection of the transition dipole moment to the substrate normal. Parameters such as dipole orientation, a light emitting area, an optical constant, thickness and the like are necessarily known in the emission spectrum obtained according to a forward light emission calculation model of the emission spectrum of the light emitting material, and in the forward light emission calculation model, the parameters are used as input parameters, and different exciton orientations can obtain unique corresponding emission spectra. To quantify the transition dipole moment direction of the dipoles, inverse inversion was used to fit the exciton orientation. The angle-resolved spectrum of the luminescent material is obtained by the angle-resolved photoluminescence device, and the molecular orientation can be reversely solved according to the light intensity data obtained by experiments by utilizing a least square method.
In the optical model used to quantify the molecular orientation, the refractive index and thickness of the sample stack are the necessary input parameters. With variable angle ellipsometry, the relevant optical constants and thickness, i.e. refractive index n, extinction coefficient k, and thickness d, can be determined. The inverse inversion is to obtain the exciton orientation by using the exciton orientation as a unique fitting parameter (knowing a plurality of parameters such as optical constants, thicknesses, dipole distribution areas and the like of each layer of the light-emitting device) through a least square method after an actual emission spectrum of the light-emitting material is obtained through experiments, and the error between the angle-resolved spectrum in the orientation and the angle-resolved spectrum obtained through the experiments is minimized.
The method in which the ellipsometer characterizes the exciton orientation of the luminescent material is as follows: after the ellipsometry parameters of a sample are measured by a multi-angle spectrum ellipsometer, a Cauchy dispersion dielectric function is adopted in a transparent wave band in the fitting process, the thickness of a luminescent material is preliminarily determined, then a B-spline model is used for expanding to a full wave band, a proper step length is required to be selected at this moment, an oscillator model is selected for fitting according to a dielectric function curve, a combination of Tauc-Lorentz and a plurality of Gaussian oscillators is generally selected, and finally the optical constant of the obtained material is obtained.
The exciton orientation of a material is determined by measuring the anisotropic optical constants of the material.

And step three, comparing the obtained molecular orientation result with the result of the ellipsometry to verify the correctness of the measurement method.
The accuracy of the measuring instrument is verified as follows: the ellipsometry measurement of the luminescent material (pure material is not doped) is accurate and well-recognized, so that the data of incidence angle in the range of 60 ° to 70 ° every 5 ° is recorded by an ellipsometer, and the optical constants and thickness of the luminescent material are determined in combination with the analysis software thereof, and the molecular orientation of the pure luminescent material is found according to the analyzed optical constants; the spectral data of the luminescent material is measured by the built angle-resolved photoluminescence instrument to further obtain the molecular orientation of the luminescent material. And comparing the results of the two, and correspondingly debugging the angle-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy instrument to ensure that the measurement result of the instrument is accurate and reliable.

The optical constants of the sample to be measured were obtained by the additive oscillator matching analysis, and as shown in fig. 7, the solid line indicates the index of refraction and extinction coefficient of the luminescent material RD in the horizontal direction by the subscript o, and the broken line indicates the index of refraction and extinction coefficient of the luminescent material RD in the vertical direction by the subscript e. The exciton orientation parameter S of the luminescent material RD was determined to be 0.008 from the analyzed optical constants, and Θ is 0.3386, i.e., the vertical dipole ratio 0.3386.
Because it is a pure luminescent material, the results of the default ellipsometer measurement and characterization of the molecular orientation of RD are accurate. By comparing the results of measuring and characterizing the RD luminescent material with the ellipsometer and the angle-resolved photoluminescence device, the error between the molecular orientation of the angle-resolved spectroscopic molecules and the ellipsometric analysis parameter Θ is about 0.04. The reason for the error may be inaccurate fitting at low angles in the inverse simulation. But this error is within an acceptable range. The deviation of the fit from the experiment occurs mainly at low and high angles. The low angle error may be the effect of stray light from the light source on the angle-resolved spectrum, and the high angle error is the sensitivity of the spectrometer.
Example 2
This example relates to the molecular orientation of the doped luminescent material RHRD. RHRD is a luminescent material RH as a main material, the RD doping proportion is 3 percent as a luminescent film, the substrate is glass, and the RHRD is prepared by vacuum evaporation, and the area size of the RHRD is about 20mm multiplied by 20 mm. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) the luminescent layer material with glass as the substrate is coated with refractive index matching oil and is fixed on a sample stage of an angle-resolved photoluminescence instrument. The LED light source (375nm) was turned on, debugged to determine and fix the 0 ° position of the rotary stage, the rotary stage was rotated 80 °, the angle resolved spectral data was measured every 1 ° using a spectrometer through a semi-cylindrical fused silica lens and the spectral data was recorded using a spectrometer as shown in fig. 8.
(2) The spectrum data with the wavelength of 400nm to 800nm in each angular spectrum range of 0 to 80 degrees is obtained, the band with the strongest luminescence is selected from the spectrum data according to the PL spectrum of the luminescent material as shown in FIG. 9, the spectrum is normalized, the abscissa is the angle, and the ordinate is the intensity after normalization. An angle resolved spectrum (single wavelength) is obtained as shown by the dots in FIG. 10.
(3) The experimental data are imported into MATLAB, and also the thickness and optical constants of the sample to be tested and the glass are imported. The molecular orientation parameter S of the organic luminescent material RHRD obtained by the inverse inversion method is-0.2750, theta is 0.15, namely the vertical dipole ratio is 0.15, and the angle-resolved spectrum corresponding to the orientation is shown in a curve of FIG. 10.
(4) The data of the incidence angle measurement RHRD in the range of 60 ° to 70 ° were recorded by an ellipsometer and the optical constants thereof were analyzed in conjunction with the software thereof. And (4) carrying out analysis on the transparent waveband by using a Cauchy model, extending the band to the whole waveband through a b-spline model, and meeting the consistency of a k-k relation. The optical constants of the sample to be measured obtained by the additive oscillator matching analysis are shown in fig. 11, in which the solid line indicates that the refractive index and the extinction coefficient of the light-emitting material RHRD in the horizontal direction are indicated by the subscript o, and the broken line indicates that the refractive index and the extinction coefficient of the light-emitting material RHRD in the vertical direction are indicated by the subscript e. Obtaining an exciton orientation parameter S of the luminescent material RHRD according to the analyzed optical constants to be 0.0543, wherein theta is 0.2971, namely the vertical dipole ratio 0.2971;
from the analysis of the RD material, it was confirmed that the angle-resolved photoluminescence device combined with the inverse fit could yield the correct molecular orientation. When the ellipsometer measures the doped material, the measurement result is inaccurate because the doping ratio of the luminescent material is too small. At this time, the molecular orientation result of the ellipsometry analysis is greatly different from the result of the angle-resolved spectroscopic analysis, which proves the superiority of the angle-resolved photoluminescence device and the inverse fitting thereof in the aspect of the doped luminescent material.
The invention selects an angle-resolved photoluminescence spectrum method to measure the angle-resolved spectrum of the organic luminescent material, utilizes photoluminescence to excite the luminescent material to emit light, and uses an optical component, namely a semi-cylindrical fused quartz lens, to ensure that the emergent angle of the optical component is not deflected and a substrate mode and an emergent mode are extracted. The angular distribution spectrum of the far field emission corresponding to all polarization modes (p-and s-light) is detected for angular resolution by rotating the light source and stage. The vertical dipole only contributes to the TM polarization (i.e., p-light), and the polarization parallel to the horizontal plane of incidence (i.e., p-light) is collected by the polarizer, and the spectrometer records the intensity of the p-polarized light. Therefore, the proportion of vertical dipoles can be extracted based on the inversion of the emergent spectrum obtained by experiments so as to obtain the exciton orientation of the luminescent material. The device can accurately measure and characterize the molecular orientation of various luminescent materials. Compared with an ellipsometry method, the angle-resolved spectroscopic measurement realizes accurate measurement of the organic luminescent material of the doping system, can meet the requirement of the optical field on characterization of exciton orientation, provides support for simulation analysis and optimization design of a luminescent device, and has the advantages of simplicity, compactness, high speed, low cost and the like.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
