Organometallic Luminescence A Case Study on Alq3, an OLED Reference Material

Organometallic Luminescence: A Case Study of Alq3, an OLED Reference Material contains many discoveries on Alq3, an important organometallic material to the optoelectronics community that includes insights that can be applied to other organic compounds. The book contains groundbreaking research from the author's own investigation into the Alq3 material that is based on years of experiments, the results of which initially escaped any logical explanation. The book describes a simple method based on photoluminescence to observe optical properties in Alq3, also covering the optical properties of absorption and long decay from theoretical and experimental perspectives.

• Considers both theoretical and experimental measurements and an analysis of the optical properties of a key OLED reference material
• Includes detailed experimental data and a large number of tables and figures
• Describes and applies the photoluminescence method of considering the optical properties of Alq3 that can be applied to other optoelectronics materials
