Electric field-induced hole transport in copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) thin-films processed from solution at room temperature

Abstract

The optical, structural and charge transport properties of solution-processed films of copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) are investigated in this work. As-processed CuSCN films of ∼20 nm in thickness are found to be nano-crystalline, highly transparent and exhibit intrinsic hole transporting characteristics with a maximum field-effect mobility in the range of 0.01–0.1 cm2 V−1 s−1. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
