A2Bi8Se13 (A = Rb, Cs), CsBi3.67Se6, and BaBi2Se4: New ternary semiconducting bismuth selenides
(2001)Rb2Bi8Se13 (I), Cs2Bi8Se13 (II), CsBi3.67Se6 (III), and BaBi2Se4 (IV) were synthesized by direct combination reactions of the A/Se (A = Rb, Cs, Ba) and Bi2Se3 at ≥650 °C. Their structures were determined by single-crystal ...

Charge generation in inorganic/organic photovoltaic blends
(2004)We apply ultrafast spectroscopy to investigate charge generation kinetics in blends of semiconducting polymers and cadmium selenide nanocrystals with photovoltaic applications. The rate is limited by diffusion of the primary ...

Crystal/glass phase change in KSb5S8 studied through thermal analysis techniques
(2004)The reversible crystal-glass and glass-crystal transitions discovered in KSb5S8 were studied in detail with nonisothermal scanning calorimetry techniques. When cooled, molten KSb5S8 becomes a metastable glass, which can ...

Direct observation of ultrafast long-range charge separation at polymer-fullerene heterojunctions
(2014)In polymeric semiconductors, charge carriers are polarons, which means that the excess charge deforms the molecular structure of the polymer chain that hosts it. This results in distinctive signatures in the vibrational ...

Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions in lanthanum cobalt oxide at low temperatures
(2001)Systematic dc and ac magnetic susceptibility studies have been performed on single-phase (formula presented) powder samples. Evidence is presented in support of the existence of ferromagnetic (FM1, FM2) and antiferromagnetic ...

In vivo imaging of quantum dots encapsulated in phospholipid micelles
(2002)Fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) have the potential to revolutionize biological imaging, but their use has been limited by difficulties in obtaining nanocrystals that are biocompatible. To address this ...

Lead halide perovskites and other metal halide complexes as inorganic capping ligands for colloidal nanocrystals
(2014)Lead halide perovskites (CH3NH3PbX3, where X = I, Br) and other metal halide complexes (MXn, where M = Pb, Cd, In, Zn, Fe, Bi, Sb) have been studied as inorganic capping ligands for colloidal nanocrystals. We present the ...

Thermoelectric properties and site-selective Rb+/K+ distribution in the K2-xRbxBi8Se13 series
(2003)β-K2Bi8Se13 possesses promising thermoelectric properties whereas Rb2Bi8Se13 does not. The formation of solid solutions between these two compounds was attempted to study the alkali metal distribution in the structure and ...

Thickness dependence of Hall transport in Ni1.15Mn 0.85Sb thin films on silicon
(2004)Highly spin polarized Heusler alloys, NiMnSb and Co2MnSi, attract a great deal of interest as potential spin injectors for spintronic applications. Spintronic devices require control of interfacial properties at the ...

The trapped human experiment
(2011)This experiment observed the evolution of metabolite plumes from a human trapped in a simulation of a collapsed building. Ten participants took it in turns over five days to lie in a simulation of a collapsed building and ...
