Engineering Charge Injection Interfaces in Hybrid Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells
2014
Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) consists of a thin film of an ionic organic semiconductor sandwiched between two electrodes. Because of the large density of ions, LECs are often reported to perform independently on the electrodes work function. Here we use metal oxides as charge injection layers and demonstrate that, although electroluminescence is observed independently of the electrodes used, the device performances are strongly dependent on the choice of the interface materials. Relying on metal oxide charge injection layers, such hybrid devices are of interest for real lighting applications and could pave the way for new efficient, stable, low-cost lighting sources.
ChemInform Abstract: Selecting Speed-Dependent Pathways for a Programmable Nanoscale Texture by Wet Interfaces
2013
The realization of well-defined and ordered structures on the nanoscale is a main issue in nanoscience and nanotechnology, biotechnology and other related fields like plastic or organic electronics. Among the bottom-up approaches, to date, self-assembly (equilibrium aggregates) received a major attention. In spite of this, far from equilibrium conditions allow for the generation of a wider landscape of organized systems depending on the set of control parameters employed. Under an adaptation vision of the structures, here we report some case studies showing how it is possible to programme and control the nanoscale features of ordered super- or supra-aggregates at wet interfaces by modulatin…

Impacts of Copper Position on the Electronic Structure of [Au25-xCux(SH)18]− Nanoclusters
2015
Here, we use density functional theory to model the impact of heteroatom position on the optoelectronic properties of mixed metal nanoclusters. First, we consider the well-described [Au25(SH)18]− motif, and substitute Cu atoms at the three geometrically unique positions within the cluster. These clusters are atomically precise and show an electronic structure that is a function of both composition and heteroatom position. We then model clusters containing Cu substitutions at two positions, and demonstrate an additional and significant impact from heteroatom proximity with respect to one another. For each system, we report the formation energy, HOMO–LUMO gap, and energy level structure, and …
Photoelectrical properties of thin films of DMABI derivatives
2011
Organic thin films with semiconducting properties have been intensively studied in nowadays due to very promising applications in organic electronics, for example, organic photovoltaic. Among organic semiconductors, group of indandiones with their photoelectrical properties, thermal and chemical stability are good candidates for use in design of novel molecular electronic devices. We have investigated photoconductivity quantum efficiency and its spectral dependence of two dimetilaminobenzylidene-1,3-indandione derivatives. Values of the photoconductivity threshold energy and optical energy gap are obtained. These results are compared with calculated transfer energy gap estimated according t…
A Statistical Model of Spine Shape and Material for Population-Oriented Biomechanical Simulation
2021
In population-oriented ergonomics product design and musculoskeletal kinetics analysis, digital spine models of different shape, pose and material property are in great demand. The purpose of this study was to construct a parameterized finite element spine model with adjustable spine shape and material property. We used statistical shape model approach to learn inter-subject shape variations from 65 CT images of training subjects. Second order polynomial regression was used to model the age-dependent changes in vertebral material property derived from spatially aligned CT images. Finally, a parametric spine generator was developed to create finite element instances of different shapes and m…
Linear Non Linear Digital control for DC/DC Converters with fast transient response PARTE II
2009
This article presents a digital control that improves the stability of the system, solves the problem of the limit cycle, shortens the recovery time and limits the overcoming of the rectified output voltage. The digital linear-nonlinear control function for DC / DC converters is described. The simulation model in the mixed environment of matlab-simulink / active -hdl is described. Preliminary results of the preliminary hardware test on a step-down-phase converter are presented and simulation and experimental results are also presented.

The COMPASS Setup for Physics with Hadron Beams
2015
The main characteristics of the COMPASS experimental setup for physics with hadron beams are described. This setup was designed to perform exclusive measurements of processes with several charged and/or neutral particles in the final state. Making use of a large part of the apparatus that was previously built for spin structure studies with a muon beam, it also features a new target system as well as new or upgraded detectors. The hadron setup is able to operate at the high incident hadron flux available at CERN. It is characterised by large angular and momentum coverages, large and nearly flat acceptances, and good two and three-particle mass resolutions. In 2008 and 2009 it was successful…
Bone Regeneration and Soft Tissue Enhancement Around Zygomatic Implants: Retrospective Case Series
2020
Purpose: To present a case series of zygomatic implants combined with bone regeneration and soft tissue enhancement techniques to reduce the risk of biological delayed complications such as maxillary sinusitis and soft tissue recession. Materials and methods: Zygomatic implants placed simultaneously with different bone regeneration techniques (buccal, palatal and buccal-palatal bone regeneration) and soft tissue enhancement techniques (pediculate and free connective tissue graft) were followed for at least 12 months. The following information was collected: patient age and sex, number of zygomatic implants, zygomatic implant success rate, zygomatic implant position according to classificati…
