Abstract
We have fabricated a heterojunction diode by vapor depositing a thin film of polyaniline on top of the crystalline copolymer: poly(vinylidene fluoride with trifluoroethylene). The formation of a diode is expected from the band offsets of the two polymers near the Fermi level. The interface between the two components was investigated, and an abrupt interface was found that is very different from the inorganic analog.
