Tin oxide SnO 2 films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. The effects of oxygen partial pressure percentage on the SnO 2 property have been investigated to obtain relatively high-resistivity SnO 2 films which could be used as buffer layers to optimize the performance of CdTe/CdS solar cells. The oxygen partial p…

In this article, based on first-principles calculations, we systematically study functionalization induced diamondization of graphene bilayer and graphene-BN hybrid bilayer. With single-side functionalization, the diamondized structures are magnetic semiconductors. Interestingly, if both sides of the bilayer are funct…

Sulphur-doped carbon was synthesized using a thiophene-based twin monomer. While tetra(thiophene-2-ylmethoxy)-silane can be converted into sulphur containing nanocomposites, which lead to microporous sulphur-doped carbon, it is possible to produce additional mesopores by the use of templates. Thus, a variety of sulphu…
