Molecular semiconductor-doped insulator (MSDI) heterojunctions: an alternative transducer for gas chemosensing

Abstract

New organic devices including a heterojunction between a semiconducting molecular material (MS)--lutetium bisphthalocyanine (LuPc2)--and a doped insulator (DI)--copper phthalocyanine (Cu(F(n)Pc), where n = 0, 8, 16)--are designed and studied as transducers for redox-active species sensing.
