We report on the employ of several kinds of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) dispersions as hole injection layer to increase the stability and the charge injection in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The PEDOT:PSS dispersions are different for PEDOT:PSS ratios and their prope…

A theoretical framework for light scattering from individual nanoscale particles or structures is developed. The main considerations distinguishing the present treatment from the theories developed for conventional light-scattering experiments are the experimental requirements for the detection of the limited light fr…

AAO membranes were detached from Al substrates via an anodic voltage pulse using aqueous HClO 4 solution without any organic reagents. Previous studies used a mixture of HClO 4 (aq) and 2,3-butanedione or methanol. However, 2,3-butanedione has a strong disagreeable odour, methanol is harmful, and the oxidized products…

A straightforward methodology for the synthesis of multifunctionalized dendrimers that is based on an orthogonal functionalization strategy has been developed. Polyamide-based dendrimers that possess both a single aldehyde and a single azide moiety on their periphery have been synthesized by using a convergent synthet…

This work investigates the transformation mechanism, at atomic level, of anatase to titanate-type structures by carrying out ab initio molecular dynamics (ab-MD) calculations with the Harris functional, including the Γ-point approximation and also several k -points. The transformation mechanism is presented and discus…

We have demonstrated the reorientation of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) molecules in a thick cell by acoustic streaming. In the thick cell, the initial CLC does not have a planar alignment but a focal conic state in spite of the surface being coated with a planar polyimide and rubbed unidirectionally. The acoustic…

Novel porphyrin dimer ligand and cobalt complexes by directly bridging with l-glutamic acid have been prepared and characterized. The intensities of circular dichroism and UV-vis spectra that change the aggregate morphologies of the porphyrin dimer under different temperatures have been investigated.

In this paper, we report a simple method of fabricating silver and gold nanostructures at the air - water interface, which can be spontaneously assembled through the reduction of AgNO3 and HAuCl4 with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in the presence of polyacrylic acid (PAA), respectively. It was found that the building b…

Carbon nanocoils (CNCs) were synthesized via thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) with C2H2 and NH3 gases at 600 °C. A Ni catalyst was placed upon the copper micro-tip structures that were fabricated on a silicon substrate. Our CNCs had a long rope shape with a length not exceeding 100 µm and a nanoscale diameter.…

Ultrathin manganese monoxide films on silver substrates are studied as a function of the thickness using x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. By combining these techniques, an improved understanding of both the local geometry and the electronic structure is achieved. It was found that bo…

A weakly Ti-doped copper nitride (Cu 3 N) film was prepared by cylindrical magnetron sputtering. The XPS results indicate that Ti atoms do not substitute for the Cu atoms but probably locate at the grain boundaries. The columnar grains size is about half of that of the undoped Cu 3 N film and the surface is smoother.…
