We investigate experimentally the origins of gain in PbS colloidal quantum dot photodetectors. We employ measurements of photocurrent, its transient behavior, and dark current over a wide range of temperatures. We find the hole mobility to have an activation energy of 0.16eV, and we identify photosensitizing centers a…

Chalcogenide alloys are materials of interest for optical recording and nonvolatile memories. We perform ab initio molecular dynamics simulations aiming at shading light onto the structure of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), the prototypical material in this class. First principles simulations show that amorphous GST obtain…

Two delocalized states of metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes near the Dirac point can be localized by the Aharanov-Bohm magnetic field around 20 Tesla. The dependence of the localization on the length and diameter of the nanotubes shows that the localization-delocalization transition can be observed for 2 nm diameter tu…

Using solid inorganic peroxides (including Li2O2, Na2O2, SrO2 and BaO2) as starting materials, three reaction paths for singlet oxygen (1O2) production were developed and studied. Their 1O2 emission spectra in the near- IR region and visible region from these reaction paths were simultaneously recorded by a near-IR se…

Density functional calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to mimic the oxygen vacancy formation on rutile TiO 2 (110) surface as well as for its interaction with molecular oxygen using extended cluster models. It was shown that the experimental temperature-programmed desorption observation on triply exc…

Ni−ZSM-5 zeolite reduced in CO was characterized by DRIFTS measurements of adsorbed CO, N 2, and H 2 molecules and EPR spectroscopy. The results indicate that N 2 and H 2 molecules adsorbed on Ni + ions are strongly perturbed, resulting in large bathochromic shifts of their vibration frequencies. Ni + sites in Ni−ZSM-…
