Wavy‐Interlocked Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Enhanced by Liquid Metal Microflowers for Self‐Powered Wearable Motion Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic showing a stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator based on interlocked wavy architectures that uses EGaIn microflower‐embedded PVDF‐TrFE and Nylon‐6 nanofiber membranes. The multi‐petaled, electron‐rich EGaIn microflowers enhance interfacial polarization and capacitance, while the interlocked wavy architecture enlarges the effective contact ...

Defects in silicon nanowires [PDF]

Applied Physics Letters, 2006
Defects in silicon nanowires have been investigated using the electron spin resonance (ESR) method. The ESR signals consist of three features: a strong resonance at g=2.00249, a weak line at g=2.00048, and a broad feature at g=2.00541. From the saturation behavior and oxidation-related and temperature dependence analysis, we ascribe that the strong ...
