Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel low‐bandgap random terpolymer is designed for narrow band detection in charge collection narrowing (CCN) based organic photodetectors. With a relative thin active layer (<1 µm), the CCN‐based devices achieved a narrowband response of 68 nm full‐width‐at‐half‐maximum at 916 nm, together with Responsivity values of 0.13 A W−1 and dark current of ...

The ICC* Algorithm: A fast way to include dielectric boundary effects into molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 We employ a fast and accurate algorithm to treat dielectric interfaces within molecular dynamics simulations and demonstrate the importance of dielectric boundary forces (DBFs) in two systems of interests in soft-condensed matter science. We investigate a salt solution confined to a slit pore, and a model of a DNA fragment translocating thorugh a ...

A Flexible Photovoltaic Fatigue Factor for Quantification of Mechanical Device Performance
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The flexible Photovoltaic fatigue factor (F) quantifies mechanical and photovoltaic performance as a function of the power conversion efficiency (PCE), the strain (ε${\varepsilon}$), and the number of bending cycles (NBC) in bending tests. The strain depends on the bending radius (R) and the thicknesses of the substrate (ts) and the photovoltaic device

Dynamics of Symmetry Breaking Out of Equilibrium: From Condensed Matter to QCD and the Early Universe [PDF]
arXiv, 1999 The dynamics of symmetry breaking during out of equilibrium phase transitions is a topic of great importance in many disciplines, from condensed matter to particle physics and early Universe cosmology with definite experimental impact. In these notes we provide a summary of the relevant aspects of the dynamics of symmetry breaking in many different ...

Experimental soft-matter science
, 2017 Soft condensed matter refers to materials where the constituent building blocks are larger than atoms but smaller than the system itself. The large size of the constituent particles makes these soft materials distinctive from hard condensed matter ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Novel conjugated polymers with side‐chain π‐conjugation are developed to enhance organic thermoelectric properties. Remarkably, the pendant doping in the conjugated polymers preserved strong intermolecular ordering in the film states even at high FeCl3 dopant concentrations (16 – 32 mM), achieving a promising power factor > 10 µW m−1 K−2 across a wide ...

Dynamical Simulation of Nuclear "Pasta": Soft Condensed Matter in Dense Stars [PDF]
Soft Condensed Matter: New Research", edited by K. I. Dillon (Nova
Science Publishers, New York, 2007), 2005 More than twenty years ago, it was predicted that nuclei can adopt interesting shapes, such as rods or slabs, etc., in the cores of supernovae and the crusts of neutron stars. These non-spherical nuclei are referred to as nuclear "pasta". In recent years, we have been studying the dynamics of the pasta phases using a method called quantum molecular ...

What’s in a Name Change? [PDF]
Physics in Perspective, 2015 When solid state physics emerged in the 1940s, its name was controversial. By the 1970s, some physicists came to prefer “condensed matter” as a way to identify the discipline of physics examining complex matter. Physicists and historians often gloss this transition as a simple rebranding of a problematically named field, but attention to the motives ...

Designing of Self‐Dispersing Soft Dendritic Microcleaners for Microplastics Capture and Recovery
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The capture and recovery of microplastics from open aquatic systems is a complex problem, which necessitates nontrivial solutions. The principles of a comprehensive multistage process based on sustainably sourced microcleaners with hierarchical morphology are demonstrated.
