Abstract :
Nanocomposite thin films consist of conjugated polymer; MEH-PPV and inorganic material; ZnO were deposited using low cost spin coating method. The thin films characteristics were investigated in term of their electrical and optical properties; as each of it were heated at different temperature. The electrical properties of the thin films were studied to identify whether the nanocomposite thin films have ohmic capability or vice versa. Optical properties of the thin films were characterized by photoluminescence measurement. This study will provide the evidence that the nanocomposite thin films produced give better performance and suitable for several applications especially in optoelectronic devices.
