Abstract

We have fabricated single organic layer devices of the organolanthanide complex, terbium tris-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(tertiarybutyry)pyrazol-5-one)triphenylphosphine oxide [$(tb-PMP)_{3}Tb-(Ph_{3}PO)$] for the investigation of its light emission and electrical conduction properties. The thickness of ($(tb-PMP)_{3}Tb-(Ph_{3}PO)$) layer was varied to 60, 75, 95 nm. Mg and Ca layers were used for the cathode contact. The electrical conduction in the $(tb-PMP)_{3}Tb-(Ph_{3}PO)$ single layer devices was dominated by the injection of electrons into the organic layer from the cathode. A higher current density at much lower voltages can be attained with Ca cathode because of the enhanced electron injection. The device shows very sharp emission at 548 nm. The FWHM of the strongest emission peak was 12 nm.
