Even though the term `organic electronics' evokes rather organic devices, a significant part of its scope deals with physical properties of `active elements' such as organic films and interfaces. Examination of the film growth and the evolution of the interface formation are particularly needful for the understanding…

Asymmetric peak profiles for the application in spectroscopy can be obtained in a simple way by substituting the usually constant full width at half maximum parameter in Pseudo‐Voigt functions with an energy‐dependent expression, for instance of sigmoidal shape. While this approach has been successfully applied to vib…

The red-emitting phosphor LaMgAl11O19:Sm(3+), Eu(3+) was prepared by solid-state reaction at 1600 °C for 4 h. The phase formation, luminescence properties, and energy transfer from Sm(3+) to Eu(3+) were studied. With the addition of 5 mol % Sm(3+) as the sensitizer, the excitation wavelength of LaMgAl11O19:Eu(3+) phos…

Graphene's high mobility and Fermi velocity, combined with its constant light absorption in the visible to far-infrared range, make it an ideal material to fabricate high-speed and ultrabroadband photodetectors. However, the precise mechanism of photodetection is still debated. Here, we report wavelength and polarizat…
