Spectral Selective and Low‐Noise Thin‐Film Organic Photodetectors Enabled by Electric‐Field Engineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular doping redistributes the internal electric field in organic photodetectors, providing a new degree of freedom to spatially control carrier transport and collection. Simulations and experiments reveal distinct transport pathways for injected and photogenerated carriers, enabling low dark current under reverse bias and wavelength‐selective ...

Decision Models for On-Premises Parcel Lockers Service Revenue Management

International Journal of Production Economics
On-premises parcel lockers (OPLs) have recently garnered attention as a convenient, safe, and secure parcel delivery solution in urban areas. Companies like Amazon Hub, GroundFloor, and My Parcel Locker have adopted basic Service Revenue Models (SRMs), providing OPLs in buildings under different contract arrangements, such as subscription models and ...

Epitaxially Integrated Electro‐Optic KNbO3 Thin Films on Silicon

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the first epitaxial integration of electro‐optic KNbO3 thin films on silicon using suboxide molecular‐beam epitaxy. Combining adsorption‐controlled molecular‐beam epitaxy, advanced characterization, and phase‐field modeling, we demonstrate phase‐pure crystalline films mirroring bulk crystals with robust Pockels response, enabling future ...

Accelerated Materials Discovery Through In Situ X‐ray Diffraction: Solvothermal Formation of PdxMy (M═Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) Intermetallic Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In situ PXRD data on solvothermal reactions accelerate materials discovery while simultaneously providing fundamental insights into complex crystal formation processes. Using PdxMy (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) as an example, a general formation mechanism is identified, and specific synthesis strategies for ex situ preparation of SnPd2, Sn13Pd20, and SnPd ...

Highly Sensitive Broadband Photodetectors Based on Donor–Acceptor 2D Conjugated Coordination Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor molecular design and chemical vapor deposition growth enable the two‐dimensional nickel‐tetraaminobenzoquinone films with strong broadband absorption and efficient charge separation. The resulting photodetectors exhibit a structured broadband response with a high responsivity of ∼3.1 A W−1 and a response time of ∼170 µs, which surpasses ...
