Thin Film Morphology in Polymer-Fullerene Bulk-Heterojunctions Materials
A promising class of materials for solar energy is conjugated polymer (CP)-fullerene mixtures. They offer the future potential for replacing current inorganic systems with... -
Ligand conformation at semiconductor nanoparticle surfaces for high-efficienc...
The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two... -
Cation vacancy ordering in calcium bismuth molybdate scheelite type phases
Cation-vacancy sheelite-type phases in the Ca1-3xBi2x[]xMoO4 system (where [] represents a cation vacancy) are being investigated for applications in wireless communication... -
Vacancy Distribution in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant... -
Excitations of the Zeeman ladder in a transverse field in the Ising antiferro...
The excitations of an Ising antiferromagnetic chain have been studied in the past and are known to form either continuous spectrum or Zeeman ladders. Such a system can be... -
