Discontinuous freeform lens based secondary optics are essential to LED illumination systems. Surface roughness and smooth transition between two discrete sub-surfaces are two of the most common manufacturing defects existing in discontinuous freeform lenses. The effects of these two manufacturing defects on the optic…

Abstract Little things count: The number of protons and the nature of cations of the dye influence the open‐circuit potential and the short circuit current of dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs, see picture). Thus, the effect of substituting the two tetrabutylammonium counter ions in the standard N719 dye by sodium ions…

Two new 6,6-open phenyl-C(81)-butyric acid methyl ester metallofulleroids, M(3)N@C(80)PCBM (M = Sc, Y), were synthesized by diazoalkane addition reactions and fully characterized. The results demonstrate that the reactive sites are the same for M(3)N@C(80) (M = Sc, Y) but dramatically different from that of C(60).

Low-energy electrons (LEEs) interact with a DNA model system to create a variety of excited states. In the gas phase, dissociative (sigma*) states are accessible by LEEs with energy <4 eV (see picture) and cause facile strand breaks through a dissociative electron attachment mechanism. However, under solvation these d…
