When Poor Exciton Dissociation Limits Photocurrents in Organic Solar Cells: Why Low Offset Non‐Fullerene Acceptor Blends Can't Be Efficient

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The energetic offset between the donor and the acceptor components in organic photoactive layers is central to the tradeoff between photovoltage and photocurrent losses. This Perspective covers the most important issues surrounding this topic in non‐fullerene acceptor blends, from the difficulty of accurately determining state energies and driving ...

Back-illuminated Light-spot-mapping Algorithm for Dual Rotation Robotic Fiber Positioners Based on an Artificial Probability Potential Field Method

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Back-illuminated spot mapping is essential for observations with modern spectroscopic survey telescopes. In the fiber position detection system, after the fiber view camera (FVC) detects the positions of the light spots from the robotic fiber positioners

ORFEES – a radio spectrograph for the study of solar radio bursts and space weather applications

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2021
Radio bursts are sensitive tracers of non-thermal electron populations in the solar corona. They are produced by electron beams and shock waves propagating through the corona and the heliosphere, and by trapped electron populations in coronal mass ...

Measuring the Hall Effect in Hysteretic Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The authors highlight common pitfalls in measuring the Hall effect: in hysteretic magnets, improper data processing can create signals that look exotic but are not real. This Perspective explains the origin of these artifacts and presents practical measurement strategies that help researchers identify reliable Hall responses in complex magnetic ...

Focal Ratio Degradation for Fiber Positioner Operation in Astronomical Spectrographs

open access: yes, 2019
© 2019 The Author(s). Focal ratio degradation (FRD), the decrease of light's focal ratio between the input into an optical fiber and the output, is important to characterize for astronomical spectrographs due to its effects on throughput and the point ...
