Various volume concentration ratios of gold nanoparticles and nanorods ranging from 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% were used to determine an optimum condition. An indicative 2% optimum condition led to synergistic tests. Synergistic coupling of gold nanorods with backcontact grating revealed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.88%. Since post thermal annealing process results in optimum interfacial surface morphology and structural reorganization, a post process hypothesis was performed to observe the behavior of the devices at room temperature with further comparisons at 40°C. A further increase in the initial performance of the devices were observed with an optimum PCE of 5.43%. The behavior in the performances revealed stable measurements mostly attributed to conditions below glass transition temperature of P3HT:PC61BM.","PeriodicalId":505044,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"15 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141020251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultimately, we used viscoelastic stamp transfer technology to successfully transfer Micro-LED arrays to various types of substrates, including tape and copper foil (Cu), thus enabling applications in different scenarios. The results show that the threshold voltage and EL intensity of Micro-LEDs on the tape and Cu substrates increase slightly, and the peak of the electroluminescence (EL) spectrum was basically stable at 458nm.

Furthermore, the off-current in the p-ch CLC poly-Si0.9Ge0.1 TFTs decreased with decreasing film thickness. These properties of the CLC poly-Si1-xGex TFTs can be attributed to the generation of acceptors and increment of gate SiO2/poly-Si1-xGex interface charge state with increasing Ge content. Generation of acceptors was also supported by Hall effect measurements. In addition, the thermal stability of acceptors up to 700 ℃ was elucidated through Hall effect measurements and TFT performance evaluations. Furthermore, we examined the origins of these acceptors.

The acoustic cavitation noise was found to have spatial coherence characteristics similar to the \"thermal light\" in optics, unlike ultrasound generated by general transducers, which are analogous to \"laser\" with high coherence. The experiments validated the derived theory and showed that the spectral degree of coherence of the acoustic cavitation noise depends on the product between the distribution width of the shockwave origin, proportional to the horn diameter, and the angle between the hydrophones viewed from the horn. The lower the product gives, the higher the spectral degree of coherence at a higher frequency range.","PeriodicalId":505044,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141022395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These films were prepared via a combination of RF magnetron sputtering and sulfur vapor annealing (SVA) treatment. Structural analyses, including cross-sectional STEM and in-plane and out-of-plane XRD measurements, revealed an increase in the S/Mo ratio and grain size of the MoS2 films following SVA treatment. Notably, the in-plane thermal conductivity of MoS2 films treated with SVA was found to be at least an order of magnitude higher than that of films without SVA treatment.

In this paper, we discuss the coarse-graining of OVLAS as a method to improve time resolution and reduce computational resources achieved by replacing the camera with a quadrant photodiode (QPD). Measurement image data obtained from a camera was numerically coarse-grained to evaluate the feasibility of measurements using a QPD. Subsequently, the transverse flow velocity was measured by QPD. Measured transverse flow velocity had a mean absolute percentage error of 18%, confirming the practical validity of coarse-graining OVLAS.
