Size-filtering effects by stacking InAs/InP (001) self-assembled quantum wires into multilayers
2002
Multilayer structure containing vertically stacked InAs/InP self-assembled quantum wires have been successfully grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The influence of the InP spacer layer thickness on the structural and optical properties of the wire superlattice has been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence. The coherent propagation of the strain field in the sample with a 5-nm-thick spacer determines by a size filtering effect a good homogeneity and uniformity of the wire stacks, and hence a good optical quality. The exciton recombination dynamics in the wire superlattice cannot be related to thermal escape of carriers out to the barriers, as occurs in sin…

Optical properties of wurtzite GaN/AlN quantum dots grown on non-polar planes: the effect of stacking faults in the reduction of the internal electri…
2016
The optical emission of non-polar GaN/AlN quantum dots has been investigated. The presence of stacking faults inside these quantum dots is evidenced in the dependence of the photoluminescence with temperature and excitation power. A theoretical model for the electronic structure and optical properties of non-polar quantum dots, taking into account their realistic shapes, is presented which predicts a substantial reduction of the internal electric field but a persisting quantum confined Stark effect, comparable to that of polar GaN/AlN quantum dots. Modeling the effect of a 3 monolayer stacking fault inside the quantum dot, which acts as zinc-blende inclusion into the wurtzite matrix, result…
The “accumulation effect” of positrons in the stack of foils, detected by measurements of the positron implantation profile
2013
The profiles of positrons implanted from the radioactive source 22Na into a stack of foils and plates are the subject of our experimental and theoretical studies. The measurements were performed using the depth scanning of positron implantation profile method, and the theoretical calculations using the phenomenological multi-scattering model (MSM). Several stacks consisting of silver, gold and aluminum foils, and titanium and germanium plates were investigated. We notice that the MSM describes well the experimental profiles; however when the stack consisting of silver and gold foils, the backscattering and linear absorption coefficients differ significantly from those reported in the litera…
Twin coarsening in CdTe(111) films grown on GaAs(100)
2006
Abstract We present a scanning force microscopy study of twin coarsening in CdTe(1 1 1) films grown on GaAs(1 0 0). Two types of CdTe(1 1 1) twins grow epitaxially and with equal probability on the long-range wavy surface structure developed by previous in situ annealing of the GaAs(1 0 0) substrate. Due to this initial substrate wavy structure, the grain coarsening during film growth leads to a quasi-one-dimensional rippled pattern. We propose a coarsening mechanism between twins driven by the formation of stacking faults.
Effect of glass fiber hybridization on the durability in salt-fog environment of pinned flax composites
2021
The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the effect of the hybridization with external layers of glass fibers on the durability of flax fiber reinforced composites in severe aging conditions. To this scope, full glass, full flax and hybrid glass–flax pinned laminates were exposed to a salt-fog environment for up to 60 days. Double-lap pinned joint tests were performed to assess the pin-hole joints performances at varying the laminate stacking sequence. In order to better discriminate the relationship between the mechanical behavior and the fracture mechanisms of joints at increasing the aging time, different geometries (i.e., by varying both the hole diameter D and the free edge distance…
Efficient and Long-Living Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells
2010
Three new heteroleptic iridium complexes that combine two approaches, one leading to a high stability and the other yielding a high luminescence efficiency, are presented. All complexes contain a phenyl group at the 6-position of the neutral bpy ligand, which holds an additional, increasingly bulky substituent on the 4-position. The phenyl group allows for intramolecular π–π stacking, which renders the complex more stable and yields long-living light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). The additional substituent increases the intersite distance between the cations in the film, reducing the quenching of the excitons, and should improve the efficiency of the LECs. Density functional theory…
Phosphine oxide functionalized pyrenes as efficient blue light emitting multifunctional materials for organic light emitting diodes
2015
In a search for blue light emitting multifunctional materials, the electron transport enhancing diphenyl phosphine–oxide (Ph2PO) group has been appended to blue light emitting pyrene derivatives. This design, we observe, leads to highly efficient electron transporting blue-emitters for non-doped organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) with good film formation characteristics. The superior performance is attributed to enhanced charge transport and formation of pyrene excimers assisted by thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in the device. We report the synthesis and characterization using experimental and computational methods of six such pyrene derivatives. Although three of these…
Effect of high-k materials in the control dielectric stack of nanocrystal memories
2004
In this paper we studied program/erase characteristics by FN tunneling in Si nanocrystal memories. Starting from a very good agreement between experimental data and simulations in the case of a memory cell with a thin tunnel oxide, Silicon dots as medium for charge storage, and a CVD silicon dioxide used as control dielectric, we present estimated values of the charge trapping when a high-k material is present in the control dielectric. We then show preliminary results of nanocrystal memories with control dielectric containing high-k materials. ©2004 IEEE.
Geometry and stacking sequence effect on composite spinnaker pole’s stiffness: experimental and numerical analysis
2006
Composite materials are widely employed in sailing sports, a possible application is for the mast pole or other sail poles. In the paper the attention is focused on the spinnaker poles mechanical performances; in particular the focus is on axial and ring compressive properties of three different carbon fibre/epoxy resin spinnaker poles, to investigate both the diameter and stacking sequence effect on the mechanical performance of the structure. Starting from the stacking sequence used in the production of a particular spinnaker pole, the effect of a lamina at 0- in the middle of wall thickness is investigated with the purpose to obtain a more stiff structure. Moreover to test the proposed s…
