Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) are promising hole‐transporting materials for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), but suffer from self‐aggregation and poor large‐area uniformity. We find that interfacial modification using nicotinic hydrazide can eliminate the residual SAM aggregates by forming energetically favorable complexes, yielding uniform SAM.

Determining the inefficient space and ranking of DMUs with undesirable outputs
Journal of Applied Research on Industrial Engineering, 2014 One of the applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is in ranking of Decision Making Units (DMUs). When some DMUs are the same in efficiency score, this ranking results in failure.
