The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a DPP-based polymer solar cell is significantly improved by using DIO or DCB as processing additives. The discovery that DCB outperforms DIO with a significantly wider solvent mixture operation window suggests different optimization mechanisms. Although both solvent mixture sys…

Biotemplating is an effective strategy to obtain morphology-controllable materials with structural specificity, complexity, and corresponding unique functions. Different from traditional biotemplating strategies replicating the morphology and using biogenic elements of biomaterials (e.g., C, Si, N, Fe, P, S), we take…

Abstract We study the Marangoni propulsion of a spheroidal particle located at a liquid–gas interface. The particle asymmetrically releases an insoluble surface-active agent and so creates and maintains a surface tension gradient leading to the self-propulsion. Assuming that the surface tension has a linear dependence…

In open resonators the energy associated with a localized photonic excitation is lost in the form of a radiated wave, in the same manner that a classical charged particle in a curved orbit loses energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. As a consequence, photonic modes in conventional spatially bounded open res…
