The present invention provides a layered structure including a fullerene
layer exhibiting Ohmic behavior. The layered device includes a layer of
fullerenes and a layer of a fluoride compound of pre-selected thickness.
The layered structure includes a third layer of an electrically
conductive material located on the second layer to which electrical
contact can be made. The thickness of the second layer is selected so
that the layered structure exhibits substantially Ohmic contact across
the first, second and third layers. The present invention also provides a
light-emitting device which includes a substrate and a first electrically
conductive layer defining an anode electrode layer on the substrate. The
device includes an electron transport layer which includes fullerenes,
and a second electrically conductive layer defining a cathode electrode
layer on the electron transport layer. The device includes a layer of
light-emissive material between the anode electrode layer and the
electron transport layer.
