We demonstrate a heterojunction amorphous Se (a-Se)/organic semiconductor photodetector that extends the long wavelength spectral response of pure a-Se devices from a cutoff of about 500 nm to 1000 nm. We show that a-Se/organic interfaces behave similarly to organic/organic interfaces in terms of energy level alignmen…

Zr65Al7.5Ni10Cu12.5Pd5 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) in various relaxation states were prepared under different cooling rates. The grain growth rate of the primary quasicrystal was examined near the crystallization temperature. It was approximately 1 × 10−9 m/s in less relaxed BMGs and approximately twice as large in r…

Abstract Novel formaldehyde novolac resins at various molar ratios of monomers (4,4′‐methylenedianiline/p‐nonylphenol/p‐formaldehyde) were synthesized in the presence of an acid catalyst. The obtained resins were characterized by using elemental analysis, FT IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopic methods. Subsequently, these re…

We demonstrate In-assisted desorption of native GaAs surface oxides at substrate temperatures of 480–550 °C. The oxides are removed through production of volatile Ga and In suboxides, Ga2O, and In2O. Compared to a Ga-assisted desorption process, excess In is easily removed at low substrate temperature, favouring a cle…

Differences in the [V 2 Te 2 O 10 ] n 2 n – layer topologies in [C 6 H 16 N 2 ][V 2 Te 2 O 10 ] and [C 5 H 14 N 2 ][V 2 Te 2 O 10 ] are the result of deviations in the C–H···O hydrogen-bonding networks. Stronger influences, such as reagent concentrations and charge density matching, were minimized through the use of b…

Sustained ability to absorb impulses at varied temperatures using light, hard materials and at length scales of few centimeters has been a challenge. The tapered chains while effective have been difficult to construct for applications. Here we build on Hong’s granular protector concept to show that strong inertial mis…

Geometry plays a major role in our attempts to understand the activity of large molecules. For example, surface area and volume are used to quantify the interactions between these molecules and the water surrounding them in implicit solvent models. In addition, the detection of pockets serves as a starting point for p…

We have developed a method based on the Mie theory for determining the local polymer concentration inside spherical nanoparticles, thereby obtaining vital information about whether the particles are swelling in the solvent or if they are contracted into a more compact structure. In addition, this method can be used to…

Hesperetin, the aglycone of hesperidin present in citrus fruits, possesses various biological activities. We assessed the tissue distribution of hesperetin in rats fed with a 0.2% hesperetin diet for 4 weeks. Its highest concentration was found in the liver, and the second highest was in the aorta. The aorta is assume…

Complementary circuits, processing digital signals, are a cornerstone of modern electronics. Such circuits require both p- and n-type transistors. Polyelectrolytes are used as gate insulators in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) to establish an electric double layer capacitor upon gate bias that allows low operati…
