The thin layers of ZnPc are coated onto Au and Mn thin-film substrates to form ohmic and Schottky interfaces, respectively. The Au/ZnPc and Mn/ZnPc devices are structurally and electrically characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and impedance spectroscopy techniques in the frequency domain of 0.01-1.80 GHz, respectively. The structural investigations show that both interfaces exhibit strained structures of the monoclinic phase of ZnPc. It is also observed that while the Au/ZnPc/Ag devices display negative capacitance (NC) effects in the microwave region above 1.46 GHz, the Mn/ZnPc/Ag devices show resonance-antiresonance capacitive response in the radiowave region accompanied with NC effects in the range of 0.06-1.80 GHz. In addition, analyses of the reflection coefficient spectra have shown the ability of the (Mn, Au)/ZnPc/Ag interfaces to behave as a typical high-/low-bandpass filters. The filters can be operated in microwaves and radiowave ranges. The return loss spectral investigations on these filters have shown their ability to reach the market standards.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessband filtersimpedance spectraMnZnPCreturn lossesX-ray diffractionsArticleQ3Q321722WOS:000573850300001
