Molecular beam growth of graphene nanocrystals on dielectric substrates

November 27, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel A. Fischer, Ulrich Wurstbauer, Theanne Schiros, Cherno Jaye, A. S. Plaut, R. He, Albert Rigosi, Liuyan Zhao, Christopher Gutierrez, P. Kim, L. N. Pfeiffer, A. Pasupathy, A. Pinczuk, J. M. Garcia
A variety of methods have been reported to create graphene. These include the pervasive mechanical exfoliation of graphite1, as well as methods that obtain large area graphene such as thermal decomposition of SiC2,3, chemical vapor deposition on transition

Molecular Order in High-Efficiency Polymer/Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

September 22, 2011
Author(s)
Matthew R. Hammond, Regis J. Kline, Andrew A. Herzing, Lee J. Richter, David Germack, Hyun W. Ro, Christopher L. Soles, Daniel A. Fischer, Tao Xu, Luping Yu, Michael F. Toney, Dean M. DeLongchamp
We report quantitative measurements of ordering, molecular orientation, and nanoscale morphology in the active layer of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells based on a thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-alt-benzodithiophene copolymer (PTB7), which has been

Structure-property relationships for methyl-terminated alkyl self-assembled monolayers

July 20, 2011
Author(s)
Frank W. DelRio, Dave Rampulla, Cherno Jaye, Gheorghe Stan, Richard S. Gates, Daniel A. Fischer, Robert F. Cook
Structure-property relationships for methyl-terminated alkyl self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are developed using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). NEXAFS C K-edge spectra are used to compute

Characterization of the non-uniform reaction in chemically-amplified calix[4]resorcinarene molecular resist thin films

July 19, 2011
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Shuhui Kang, Regis J. Kline, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Daniel A. Fischer, Wen-Li Wu, Sushil K. Satija, Jing Sha, Christopher K. Ober, Peter V. Bonnesen
The ccc stereoisomer-purified tert-butoxycarbonyloxy (t-Boc) protected calix[4]resorcinarene molecular resists blended with photoacid generator exhibit a non-uniform photoacid catalyzed reaction in thin films. The surface displays a reduced reaction extent

Influence of substrate on crystallization in polythiophene/fullerene blends

January 13, 2011
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Christine He, David Germack, R Joseph Kline, Dean DeLongchamp, Daniel A. Fischer, Chad R. Snyder, James G. Kushmerick
The nanoscale morphology of the active layer in organic, bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells is crucial to device performance. Often a combination of casting conditions and post deposition thermal treatment are used to optimize the morphology. In general

Enhanced Water Splitting Performance of Potassium-Adsorbed Titania Nanotube Arrays

December 7, 2009
Author(s)
Christiaan Richter, Cherno Jaye, Eugen Panaitescu, Daniel A. Fischer, Laura H. Lewis, Ronald J. Willey, Latika Menon
It is demonstrated that vertically-aligned titania nanotube planar arrays fabricated by electrochemical anodization using standard potassium-containing electrolytes invariably contain a significant amount of surface-adsorbed potassium ions that enhance the
