Carrier injection from organic contacts to tetramethyltetrathiafulvalene (TMTTF) is investigated in the thin-film transistors. When 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) is patterned on a TMTTF film, the resulting (TMTTF)(TCNQ) works as highly conducting source and drain electrodes. Such self-contact transistors,…

We explore ground-state structures and stoichiometries of the Be-B system in the static limit, with Be atom concentrations of 20 % or greater, and from P = 1 atm up to 320 GPa. At P = 1 atm, predictions are offered for several known compounds, the structures of which have not yet been determined experimentally. Specif…

The unique properties of gallium nitride (GaN) crystal, such as a wide band-gap and high thermal conductivity, make it ideal material for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Achieving room temperature (RT) ferromagnetism in GaN becomes crucial. In previous works, gallium vacancy (VGa) was expected to be promising f…

Organically modified nanoclays have been reported to play the role of a compatibilizer for immiscible polymer blends. However, the mechanism of compatibilization by nanoclay has been reported differently. In this work, we investigated the exact mechanism of compatibilization of nanoclay in immiscible polystyrene (PS)/…
