Abstract
Electromodulation of photoluminescence (EML) has been investigated in vacuum-evaporated lms of Ir(ppy)3 (tris(2-phenylpyri-
dine)iridium) commonly used as a phosphorescent emitter in organic light-emitting diodes. The quenching of photoluminescence up
to 30% is observed in the external electric eld applied to sandwich cells Al/Ir(ppy)3/Al/glass. The electric eld characteristics, the emis-
sion and excitation spectra of EML signals are interpreted in terms of eld-induced dissociation of excited states into free and/or trapped
charge carriers according to the Onsager theory. In addition, the existence of internal electric elds of (13) 105 V/cm in Ir(ppy)3 lms is
inferred from the (1x)EML signals measured at the rst harmonic of the applied electric eld frequency, in accordance with previous
electroabsorption results.

In the present paper, we report on electromodulation
of photoluminescence (EML) in thin neat lms of
Ir(ppy)3. Applying low excitation intensities (<1015 pho-
tons/cm2 s) and weakly injecting electrodes allowed us to N
ignore excitonexciton and excitoncharge carrier interac-
tions, and thus to examine the electric eld-induced PL
quenching due to exciton dissociation alone. The EML Ir

erature on this subject, see Refs. [1416]). The preliminary
EML results for Ir(ppy)3 lms have already been pre-
sented [6]. However, in our previous study only the
EML measurements in steady state (dc) electric eld were fac-Ir(ppy)3
carried out which restricted our data to a high electric
eld range. In the present paper, we study the quenching
eect applying a more sensitive ac electromodulation tech-
nique. In the (ac)EML experiments we could extend elec-
tric eld range and record the emission and excitation
spectra of EML signals. Comparing the (2x)EML emis-
sion spectrum for a Ir(ppy)3 lm with the recently
reported PL spectrum for a single crystal of Ir(ppy)3
[17] we discuss the possible involvement of crystal defect
states in exciton dissociation in Ir(ppy)3 lms. The all
observed EML results are satisfactorily rationalized on
the grounds of the Onsager model of charge separation.
Additionally, the analysis of the (1x)EML signals mea-
sured at the rst harmonic of the applied electric eld fre-
quency (x) enabled us to evaluate the internal electric Fig. 1. (a) The molecular structure of fac-Ir(ppy)3. (b) A schematic
