The Voltage–Current Characteristics and Photoelectric Effect of Fullerene C60–N-Isoamylisatin 4-Methylphenylhydrazone Heterostructures

Abstract

The results of using N-isoamylisatin 4-methylphenylhydrazone for the optimization of fullerene-based heterostructures are presented. The synthesis and microscopy of thin films of this hydrazone in combination with fullerene C₆₀ are described alongside with the results of IR spectroscopy and study of their electrophysical properties. The addition of the considered organic compound to fullerene films has increased the photoconductivity by two orders of magnitude in comparison with the photoconductivity of C₆₀ films. The synthesized thin-film structures have rectifying illumination voltage–current characteristics.
