Effect of silver nanoparticles deposited on indium tin oxide by plasma-assisted hot-filament evaporation on phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode performance

This study investigates a high-density of silver (Ag) nanoparticles deposition in a two-dimensional array via a plasma-assisted hot-filament evaporation system on indium tin oxide (ITO) anodes for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The nanoparticles deposition process was conduc...
