The Interplay of Contact Layers: How the Electron Transport Layer Influences Interfacial Recombination and Hole Extraction in Perovskite Solar Cells.

2018

Charge-selective contact layers in perovskite solar cells influence the current density–voltage hysteresis, an effect related to ion migration in the perovskite. As such, fullerene-based electron transport layers (ETLs) suppress hysteresis by reducing the mobile ion concentration. However, the impact of different ETLs on the electronic properties of other constituent device layers remains unclear. In this Kelvin probe force microscopy study, we compared potential distributions of methylammonium lead iodide-based solar cells with two ETLs (planar TiO2 and C60-functionalized self-assembled monolayer) with different hysteretic behavior. We found significant changes in the potential distributio…

Are Ocular Response Analyzer useful to measure corneal hysteresis in patients with intracorneal rings?

2008

Purpose Corneal hysteresis is a viscoelastic property characterized by the difference in behavior under loading and unloading. The aim of the study was to determine corneal hysteresis in different eyes: healthy eyes, keratoconic eyes and keratoconic eyes after intracorneal ring implants. Methods This study comprised 95 eyes of 59 patients. The study population was divided into 3 groups. We analyze 30 healthy human eyes, 35 keratoconic eyes (Amsler grade II-III) and 30 keratoconic eyes after intracorneal rings implantation. Corneal biomechanical properties of these eyes were measured with the Ocular Response Analyser (ORA-Reichert) according to two parameters: corneal hysteresis (CH) and cor…

Electromagnetic response of LaO_0.94F_0.06FeAs: AC susceptibility and microwave surface resistance

2009

We discuss on the electromagnetic response of a polycrystalline sample of LaO_0.94F_0.06FeAs exposed to DC magnetic fields up to 10 kOe. The low- and high-frequency responses have been investigated by measuring the AC susceptibility at 100 kHz and the microwave surface resistance at 9.6 GHz. At low as well as high DC magnetic fields, the susceptibility strongly depends on the amplitude of the AC driving field, highlighting enhanced nonlinear effects. The field dependence of the AC susceptibility exhibits a magnetic hysteresis that can be justified considering the intragrain-field-penetration effects on the intergrain critical current density. The microwave surface resistance exhibits a cloc…

Zeolite-gas systems and solar refrigeration : a study of the adsorptive properties at high pressures in the R22 freon-13X zeolite and ammonia-13X zeo…

1990

The adsorption of ammonia and R22 freon on 13X zeolite was studied in the conditions of possible use of these fluids in heat machines for solar refrigeration. The ranges of temperature and pressure, investigated in this study, extended from 0 to 80 °C and from 10-1 to 6 105 Pa respectively. The adsorption isotherms were collected by microgravimetry using a thermobalance specially built to be used in aggressive gases at pressures up to 106 Pa. Weak hysteresis was detected when ammonia was desorbed below 80 °C. A critical study concerning both applicability of classical adsorption equations (Dubinin-Radushkevitch and Langmuir) and comparison with other zeolite-gas systems is presented. Compar…

Exploring the High-Temperature Frontier in Molecular Nanomagnets: From Lanthanides to Actinides.

2019

Molecular nanomagnets based on mononuclear metal complexes, also known as single-ion magnets (SIMs), are crossing challenging boundaries in molecular magnetism. From an experimental point of view, this class of magnetic molecules has expanded from lanthanoid complexes to both d-transition metal and actinoid complexes. From a theoretical point of view, more and more improved models have been developed, and we are now able not only to calculate the electronic structure of these systems on the basis of their molecular structures but also to unveil the role of vibrations in the magnetic relaxation processes, at least for lanthanoid and d-transition metal SIMs. This knowledge has allowed us to o…

A Dysprosium Metallocene Single-Molecule Magnet Functioning at the Axial Limit

2017

Abstraction of a chloride ligand from the dysprosium metallocene [(Cpttt)2DyCl] (1Dy Cpttt=1,2,4‐tri(tert‐butyl)cyclopentadienide) by the triethylsilylium cation produces the first base‐free rare‐earth metallocenium cation [(Cpttt)2Dy]+ (2Dy) as a salt of the non‐coordinating [B(C6F5)4]− anion. Magnetic measurements reveal that [2Dy][B(C6F5)4] is an SMM with a record anisotropy barrier up to 1277 cm−1 (1837 K) in zero field and a record magnetic blocking temperature of 60 K, including hysteresis with coercivity. The exceptional magnetic axiality of 2Dy is further highlighted by computational studies, which reveal this system to be the first lanthanide SMM in which all low‐lying Kramers doub…

Unemployment dynamics and NAIRU estimates for accession countries: A univariate approach

2005

Abstract In this paper we test for hysteresis effects versus the natural rate hypothesis on unemployment rates of new members in the European Union (EU) using unit root tests that account for the presence of level shifts. In addition, we estimate the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) from a univariate perspective. The precision of these NAIRU are investigated by studying two sources of inaccuracy that derive from the estimation of the break points, and the estimation of the autoregressive parameters. The results indicate up to four structural breaks in the NAIRU of transition countries that can be associated with institutional changes from implementing market-oriented …

Magnetic characteristics of industrial dust from different sources of emission: A case study of Poland

2015

Abstract Dust emission and deposition in topsoil have negative effect on individual components of the ecosystem. In addition to routine geochemical analyses, magnetic measurements may provide useful complementary information related to the type, concentration and grain-size distribution of the technogenic magnetic particles (TMPs) and thus the degree of contamination of the environment. The aim of this contribution is to use magnetic parameters in distinguishing dust from a wide range of sources of air pollution (power industry, cement, coke, ceramic industries and biomass combustion). We measured magnetic susceptibility, hysteresis parameters and thermomagnetic curves. Our results suggest …

Pressure and Thermally Induced Spin Crossover in a 2D Iron(II) Coordination Polymer {Fe[bipy(ttr)2]}n

2021

Using magnetic measurements and UV -visible spectroscopy we have studied the pressure influence on the spin crossover (SCO) properties of the 2D Fe (II) coordination polymer formulated {Fe[bipy(ttr) 2 ]} n . At variable temperature and fixed pressure, we have measured the magnetic property of this compound. Under different pressures and at room temperature, the visible spectroscopy has been observed. The magnetic experiment displays a two-step spin crossover behavior under pressure. The visible spectroscopic measurements at room temperature show a spin crossover with an asymmetric hysteresis at 0.4GPa.
