Organic Electrochemical Transistor Channel Materials: Copolymerization Versus Physical Mixing of Glycolated and Alkoxylated Polymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work discusses the use of blended channel materials in OECTs. It explores how mixing glycolated and alkoxylated polymers in various ratios offers a simpler and more efficient route to tuning OECT properties. The performance of the polymer blends is compared to the corresponding copolymers, demonstrating similar OECT characteristics, swelling ...

Intermolecular Interactions as Driving Force of Increasing Multiphoton Absorption in a Perylene Diimide‐Based Coordination Polymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study uncovers the unexplored role of intermolecular interactions in multiphoton absorption in coordination polymers. By analyzing [Zn2tpda(DMA)2(DMF)0.3], it shows how the electronic coupling of the chromophores and confinement in the MOF enhance two‐and three‐photon absorption.

Intramolecular Down‐ and Up‐Conversion in Dimeric Tetracene Complexes Centered via Platinum(II) and Palladium(II)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐tetracene dimeric complexes are synthesized through the pyridyl coordination to either Pt(II) or Pd(II). Photophysical properties are systematically compared as a function of the metal using steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy. The Pt(II) dimer exhibits efficient intramolecular singlet fission and subsequent intramolecular up‐conversion ...

Grounded theory and action research as pillars for interpretive information systems research: A comparative study

Egyptian Informatics Journal, 2015
In the literature survey, there is evidence “why an interpretive paradigm is more suitable for evaluating e-government systems”. However, more than one method can be used when applying interpretive paradigm for evaluating information systems (as we do ...

Grounded Theory: methodology applied in education research

Educação & Realidade, 2019
A teoria fundamentada é pouco utilizada nas pesquisas em educação e apresenta diferentes modos de interpretação, de acordo com a vertente (straussiana ou construtivista). Este artigo questiona como caracterizar os passos da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD) e as possíveis aplicações na pesquisa em educação, limitando-se a descrever os passos para ...

Ab Initio Study on 3D Anisotropic Ferroelectric Switching Mechanism and Coercive Field in HfO2 and ZrO2

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a new switching mechanism in HfO2 and ZrO2, where the absence of a non‐polar layer along the a‐direction induces interaction between polar layers. Consequently, the switching barriers for growth are lower than those for nucleation in this direction, leading to a size‐dependent coercive field that matches experimental observations ...

"Let the Fear Go and Trust the Process"—Experiencing Grounded Theory Over a Lifetime. Odis E. Simmons in Conversation With Astrid Gynnild

Forum: Qualitative Social Research
Odis SIMMONS was among the first students who learned grounded theory method (GTM) directly from the co-founders GLASER and STRAUSS. Except for GLASER himself, SIMMONS is probably the grounded theorist who has taught the method to most students globally.

Moving Beyond Substantive Grounded Theory

Grounded Theory Review: An International Journal
The grounded theory methodology has been primarily used to develop substantive theories; however, since its inception, the developers of the methodology have encouraged researchers to move beyond substantive grounded theory by developing mid-range and ...
