Langmuir floating layers of two phthalocyanine derivatives, ytterbium bisphthalocyanine and tetra-tert-butyl nickel phthalocyanine, were investigated by means of compression isotherms, surface potential kinetics and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) in order to study the influence of peripheral substituents on the structure and stability of these films and on their suitability for a subsequent transfer onto solid substrates. Specific substitutions that may lead to amphiphilic molecular units seem to play a key role in the development of well organised thin films prepared with this technique.
On the basis of a stochastic model of hopping transport in disordered solids we present results of simulations of the dark discharge of surface charged thin films considering the energetic distribution of the localised states within the sheet. A non- linear differential equation with suitable boundary and initial conditions describes the time evolution of the space charge. We suppose a Gaussian distribution of energies for the carrier transporting states with a standard deviation s. The arrival time of carriers at the rear electrode of the sandwich sample is studied in dependence on film thickness, initial surface charge, and energetic disorder. Our calculations confirm that the transit time increases indirect proportional with initial surface charge and proportional with the square thickness. For standard deviations of energetic distribution of 0.05 eV up to 0.25 eV the normalised transit time grows as s1.44. We discuss this in terms of the stochastic transport model.
