Abstract In this work, the optical gain engineering of an ultra-broadband InGaAs/AlAs solution-processed quantum dot (QD) semiconductor optical amplifier using superimposed quantum structure is investigated. The basic unit in the proposed structure (QDs) is designed and fabricated using solution-processed methods with considerable cost-effectiveness, fabrication ease, and QDs size tunability up to various limits (0.1 nm up to the desired values), considering suitable synthesis methods. Increasing the number of QDs, the device can span more than 1.02 μm (O, C, S, and L bands) using only one type of material for all QDs, and is not restricted to this limit in case of using more QD groups. Also, it can manipulate the optical gain peak value, spectral coverage, and resonant energy for customized optical windows, among which 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm are simulated as widely-applicable cases for model validation. This makes the device a prominent candidate for ultra-wide-bandwidth and also customized-gain applications in general. Variation impact of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadenings, injection current and number of QD groups on optical gain are explained in detail. Besides proposing a design procedure for implementation of an ultra-broadband optical gain using superimposed QDs in solution-processed technology, the proposed gain engineering idea using this technology provides practically infinite bandwidth and an easy way to realize. By introducing this idea, one more step is actually taken to approach the effectiveness of solution process technology.

A high-quality dielectric layer is essential for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) operated at a low-power consumption level. In this study, a facile improved technique for the synthesis of solution-processed silica is proposed. By optimizing the synthesis and processing technique fewer pores were found on the surface of the film, particularly no large holes were observable after improving the annealing process, and the improved solution–gelation (sol–gel) SiOx dielectric achieved a higher breakdown strength (1.6 MV/cm) and lower leakage current density (10−8 A/cm2 at 1.5 MV/cm). Consequently, a pentacene based OTFT with a high field effect mobility (~1.8 cm2/Vs), a low threshold voltage (−1.7 V), a steeper subthreshold slope (~0.4 V/dec) and a relatively high on/off ratio (~105) was fabricated by applying a hybrid gate insulator which consisted of improved sol–gel SiOx and polyvinyl phenol (PVP). This could be ascribed to both the high k of SiOx and the smoother, hydrophobic dielectric surface with low trap density, which was proved by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and a water contact angle test, respectively. Additionally, we systematically studied and evaluated the stability of devices in the compressed state. The devices based on dielectric fabricated by conventional sol–gel processes were more susceptible to the curvature. While the improved device presented an excellent mechanic strength, it could still function at the higher bending compression without a significant degradation in performance. Thus, this solution-process technology provides an effective approach to fabricate high-quality dielectric and offers great potential for low-cost, fast and portable organic electronic applications.

Sol-gel processing has been used to control the structure of a material on a nanometer scale in preparing advanced ceramics and glasses. Film coating using the sol-gel process was also found to be a viable process technology in applications such as optical, porous, antireflection and hard coatings. In this study, organically modified silicate (Ormosil) coatings are applied to PET films for various industrial applications. Sol-gel materials are known to exhibit nanometer scale structures which havepreviously been characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), neutron scattering and light scattering. Imaging of the ultrafine sol-gel structures has also been performed using an ultrahigh resolution replica/TEM technique. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ultrafine structures inthe sol gel coatings using a direct imaging technique: atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, correlation of microstructures with processing parameters, coating density and other physical properties will be discussed.The materials evaluated are organically modified silicate coatings on PET film substrates. Refractive index measurement by the prism coupling method was used to assess density of the sol-gel coating.AFM imaging was performed on a Nanoscope III AFM (by Digital Instruments) using constant force mode. Solgel coating samples coated with a thin layer of Ft (by ion beam sputtering) were also examined by STM in order to confirm the structures observed in the contact type AFM. In addition, to compare the previous results, sol-gel powder samples were also prepared by ultrasonication followed by Pt/Au shadowing and examined using a JEOL 100CX TEM.

<div>Renewable harvesting clean and hydrogen energy using the benefits of novel multicatalytic materials of high entropy alloy (HEA equimolar Cu-Ag-Au-Pt-Pd) from formic acid with minimum energy input has been achieved in the present investigation. The synthesis effect of pristine elements in the HEA drives the electro-oxidation reaction towards non-carbonaceous pathway . The atomistic simulation based on DFT rationalize the distinct lowering of the d-band center for the individual atoms in the HEA as compared to the pristine counterparts. This catalytic activity of the HEA has also been extended to methanol electro-oxidation to show the unique capability of the novel catalyst. The nanostructured HEA, properties using a combination of casting and cry omilling techniques can further be utilized as fuel cell anode in direct formic acid/methanol fuel cells (DFFE).<br></div>
