Blade Coating Aligned, High-Performance, Semiconducting-Polymer Transistors

February 22, 2018
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Hyun W. Ro, Regis J. Kline, Daniel A. Fischer, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Lars Thomsen, Christopher McNeil, Dawei Wu, Maria Kaplan, Eliot H. Gann
Recent demonstration of mobilities in excess of 10 cm2V-1s-1 have energized research in solution deposition of polymers for thin film transistor applications. Due to the lamella motif of most soluble, semiconducting polymers, the local mobility is

A practical superconducting-microcalorimeter X-ray spectrometer for beamline and laboratory science

May 16, 2017

William B. Doriese, Peter Abbamonte, Douglas A. Bennett, Edward V. Denison, Yizhi Fang, Daniel A. Fischer, Colin P. Fitzgerald, Joseph W. Fowler, Johnathon D. Gard, Gene C. Hilton, Cherno Jaye, Jessica L. McChesney, Luis Miaja Avila, Kelsey M. Morgan, Young Il Joe, Galen C. O'Neil, Carl D. Reintsema, Fanny Rodolakis, Daniel R. Schmidt, Hideyuki Tatsuno, Jens Uhlig, Leila R. Vale, Joel N. Ullom, Daniel S. Swetz
We describe a series of microcalorimeter X-ray spectrometers designed for a broad suite of measurement applications. The chief advantage of this type of spectrometer is that it can be orders of magnitude more efficient at collecting X-rays than more

Magnetic Field Landscapes Guiding the Chemisorption of Diamagnetic Molecules

September 23, 2016
Author(s)
Cherno Jaye, Tobias Weidner, J. E. Baio, A. P. Hitchcock, Daniel A. Fischer
It is shown that the self-assembly of diamagnetic molecule sub-monolayers on a surface can be influenced by magnetic stray field landscapes emerging from artificially fabricated magnetic domains and domain walls. The directed local chemisorption of

Microcalorimeter Spectroscopy at High Pulse Rates: a Multi-Pulse Fitting Technique

August 24, 2015
Author(s)
Joseph W. Fowler, Bradley K. Alpert, William B. Doriese, Young Il Joe, Galen C. O'Neil, Cherno Jaye, Joel N. Ullom, Daniel A. Fischer, Daniel S. Swetz
Transition edge sensor microcalorimeters can measure x-ray and gamma-ray energies with very high energy resolution and high photon-collection efficiency. For this technology to reach its full potential in future x-ray observatories, each sensor must be

Dry graphene transfer print to polystyrene and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene ? detailed chemical, structural, morphological and electrical characterization

May 17, 2015

Evegeniya Lock, Dean DeLongchamp, Scott Schmucker, Blake Simpkins, Matthew Laskoski, Shawn Mulvaney, Daniel R. Hines, Mira Baraket, Sandra Hernandez, Jeremy Robinson, Paul Sheehan, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Scott Walton
In this paper we apply a transfer print approach that relies on differential adhesion to remove graphene from Cu foil to polystyrene (PS) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) without etching of the metal foil. The polymer surfaces are

High-resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy with transition-edge sensors: present performance and future potential

May 1, 2015
Author(s)
W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Joseph Fowler, Daniel Swetz, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Carl D. Reintsema, Douglas Bennett, Leila R. Vale, Gene C. Hilton, Dan Schmidt, Joel Ullom, Jens Uhlig, Ujjwal Mandal, Galen O'Neil, Luis Miaja Avila, Young I. Joe, wilfrid fullagar, Fredrick P. Gustafsson, Dharma Kurunthu, Villy Sundstrom
X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is a powerful element-selective tool to analyze the oxidation states of atoms in complex compounds, determine their electronic configuration, and identify unknown compounds in challenging environments. Until now the low

Interrogating the Carbon and Oxygen K-edge NEXAFS of a CO2-dosed Hyperbranched Aminosilica

December 19, 2014
Author(s)
Laura Espinal, Martin L. Green, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Watcharop Chaikittisilp, Jarod C. Horn, Miles Sakwa-Novak, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Nicholas Brunelli, Christopher Jones
Near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was used to study the adsorption of CO2 in a hyperbranched aminosilica (HAS) compound, a porous solid state material with great potential for carbon capture applications. After dosing a

Interfacial Mechanical Properties of n-Alkylsilane Monolayers on Silicon Substrates

February 1, 2013
Author(s)
Brian G. Bush, Frank W. DelRio, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Robert F. Cook
The interfacial properties of n-alkylsilane self-assembled monolayers on silicon were investigated by normal force spectroscopy and lateral force measurements and correlated with molecular structure via near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS)

ELECTRICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BILAYER CARBOXYLIC ACID FUNCTIONALIZED MOLECULAR LAYERS

January 30, 2013

Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Joseph W. Robertson, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Curt A. Richter, Christina A. Hacker
We have used Flip Chip Lamination (FCL) to form monolayer and bilayer molecular junctions of carboxylic acid-containing molecules with Cu atom incorporation. Carboxylic acid-terminated monolayers are self-assembled onto ultrasmooth Au using thiol chemistry

Molecular beam growth of graphene nanocrystals on dielectric substrates
