Crack-free large-area single-layer SiO2 inverse opal (IO) films similar to an inverse “moth's eye” structure, are fabricated. The effects of their porous structure on transmittance in the visible region are investigated.

ABSTRACTOrganic electroluminescent (EL) diodes based on fluorescent dyes and conducting polymers have attracted the interest of researchers, mainly because of their emission in the visible region and for application to large area portable flat panel display devices, driven at low voltages. Therefore, for the development of higher efficiency polymer EL diodes, the optimal combination of the merits of organic fluorescent dye molecules with that of conjugated polymer is an important approach. We report electroluminescence studies of polymer light emitting diodes (p-LEDs) fabricated with poly[2-(3-thienyl)ethanol n-butoxy carbonylmethyl urethane] (PURET) and its composite with 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H pyran (DCM) dye. These materials have been chosen in view of the fact that PURET exhibits a small overlap between emission and absorption spectra whereas DCM has a good efficiency of trapping both electrons as well as holes. Polyaniline has been utilized as hole injecting layer whereas tris-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum as electron injecting layer. Enhanced electroluminescence with bright yellow color has been observed in p-LEDs by the addition of dye.

Biomimetic structures such as structural colors demand a fabrication technology of complex three-dimensional nanostructures on large areas. Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is capable of large area replication of three-dimensional structures, but the master stamp fabrication is often a bottleneck. We have demonstrated different approaches allowing for the generation of sophisticated undercut T-shaped masters for NIL replication. With a layer-stack of phase transition material (PTM) on poly-Si, we have demonstrated the successful fabrication of a single layer undercut T-shaped structure. With a multilayer-stack of silicon oxide on silicon, we have shown the successful fabrication of a multilayer undercut T-shaped structures. For patterning optical lithography, electron beam lithography and nanoimprint lithography have been compared and have yielded structures from 10 µm down to 300 nm. The multilayer undercut T-shaped structures closely resemble the geometry of the surface of a Morpho butterfly, and may be used in future to replicate structural colors on artificial surfaces.

Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets modified with zinc oxide nanocrystals were achieved by a green wet-chemical approach. As-obtained products were characterized by XRD, Raman spectra, XPS, HR-TEM, EDS, PL and Photocatalytic studies. XRD studies indicate that the GO nanosheet have the same crystal structure found in hexagonal form of ZnO . The enhanced Raman spectrum of 2D bands confirmed formation of single layer graphene oxides. The gradual photocatalytic reduction of the GO nanosheet in the GO : ZnO suspension of ethanol was studied by using X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy. The nanoscale structures were observed and confirmed using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The evolution of the elemental composition, especially the various numbers of layers were determined from energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS). PL properties of GO : ZnO nanosheet were found to be dependent on the growth condition and the resultant morphology revealed that GO nanosheet were highly transparent in the visible region. The photocatalytic performance of GO : ZnO nanocomposites was performed under UV irradiation. Therefore, the ZnO nanocrystals in the GO : ZnO composite could be applied in gradual chemical reduction and consequently tuning the electrical conductivity of the graphene oxide nanosheet.

The amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) were demonstrated based on a double-layer channel structure, where the channel is composed of an ultrathin nitrogenated a-IGZO (a-IGZO:N) layer and an undoped a-IGZO layer. The double-layer channel device showed higher saturation mobility and lower threshold-voltage shift (5.74 cm2/Vs, 2.6 V) compared to its single-layer counterpart (0.17 cm2/Vs, 7.23 V). The improvement can be attributed to three aspects: (1) improved carrier transport properties of the channel by the a-IGZO:N layer with high carrier mobility and the a-IGZO layer with high carrier concentration, (2) reduced interfacial trap density between the active channel and the gate insulator, and (3) higher surface flatness of the double-layer channel. Our study reveals key insights into double-layer channel, involving selecting more suitable electrical property for back-channel layer and more suitable interface modification for active layer. Meanwhile, room temperature fabrication amorphous TFTs offer certain advantages on better flexibility and higher uniformity over a large area.

Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is a promising material for heterogeneous catalysis and novel 2D optoelectronic devices. In this work, single-layer MoS2 is synthesized on Au(111) by pulsed laser deposition, showing the potentialities of this technique in the synthesis of high-quality 2D materials films.
