淺談Ir(ppy)? 磷光發(fā)射機(jī)制的理論

自從磷光材料被應(yīng)用到OLED以來，基于磷光機(jī)制的有機(jī)發(fā)光器件研究快速發(fā)展，其中代表性的有紅、綠、藍(lán)單基色磷光器件和全磷光白色磷光器件。由于自旋禁阻的原因，磷光量子產(chǎn)率要比熒光低得多，因此通常采用重原子效應(yīng)等方法來提高磷光量子產(chǎn)率。當(dāng)引入重原子后，自旋軌道耦合作用加強(qiáng)，使禁阻的三重態(tài)向單重態(tài)的躍遷變?yōu)樵试S，分子停滯在三線態(tài)的時(shí)間大幅縮短，極大地提高了器件的內(nèi)量子效率，常用的重金屬原子有Ir、Pt、Re、Os、Cu等。

磷光材料一般應(yīng)具備良好的光熱穩(wěn)定性、較大的分子吸光截面、較高的系間竄越能力、室溫下有較高的磷光量子產(chǎn)率和較短的三線態(tài)壽命等特征。由于有機(jī)材料中磷光的綠光材料最容易獲得，因而研究最早也是從磷光綠光OLED開始，其中Ir(ppy)?是最具代表性的材料，被廣泛地應(yīng)用到磷光器件中。

磷光發(fā)射速率是發(fā)光機(jī)理研究中的重要參數(shù)，本文將以Ir(ppy)?為例，使用BDF和MOMAP軟件計(jì)算其磷光發(fā)射速率。首先需要通過BDF量化軟件進(jìn)行結(jié)構(gòu)優(yōu)化、頻率計(jì)算和旋軌耦合計(jì)算，之后基于BDF的結(jié)構(gòu)優(yōu)化和頻率計(jì)算結(jié)果文件、旋軌耦合計(jì)算結(jié)果文件使用MOMAP軟件進(jìn)行磷光輻射速率的計(jì)算。

首先使用量子化學(xué)計(jì)算軟件BDF進(jìn)行Ir(ppy)?的基態(tài)S0和第一激發(fā)三重態(tài)T1的結(jié)構(gòu)優(yōu)化和頻率計(jì)算。
