Thin film engineering for transparent thin film transistors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) thin films are of interest as oxide semiconductors in thin film transistor (TFT) applications, due to visible light transparency, and low deposition temperature.

Autonomous Folding of Soft Matter From Living Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Origami structures are endowed with “living” polymer creases that grow, remodel, and stiffen in response to nutrient solutions. This post‐fabrication growth enables autonomous folding, iterative regrowth, and mechanical tuning involving origami assemblies, such as cranes, Miura‐ori tessellations, rigid and non‐rigid square‐twist patterns, establishing ...

Observation of lower defect density brought by excess PbI2 in CH3NH3PbI3 solar cells

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
The introduction of excess PbI2 into CH3NH3PbI3 precursors has been reported to boost the efficiency of CH3NH3PbI3 solar cell. It was assumed that the excess PbI2 helped to reduce the defect density in CH3NH3PbI3 solar cell.
