We developed a series of highly crystalline double-cable conjugated polymers for application in single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs). These polymers contain conjugated backbones as electron donor and pendant perylene bisimide units (PBIs) as electron acceptor. PBIs are connected to the backbone via alkyl units varying from hexyl (C 6 H 12 ) to eicosyl (C 20 H 40 ) as flexible linkers. For double-cable polymers with short linkers, the PBIs tend to stack in a head-to-head fashion, resulting in large d -spacings (e.g. 64 Å for the polymer P12 with C 12 H 24 linker) along the lamellar stacking direction. When the length of the linker groups is longer than a certain length, the PBIs instead adopt a more ordered packing likely via H -aggregation, resulting in short d -spacings (e.g. 50 Å for the polymer P16 with C 16 H 32 linker). This work highlights the importance of linker length on the molecular packing of the acceptor units and the influences on the photovoltaic performance of SCOSCs.

Magnetic manipulation, fluorescent tracking, and localized delivery of a drug payload to cancer cells in vitro is demonstrated, using nanostructured porous silicon microparticles as a carrier. The multifunctional microparticles are prepared by electrochemical porosification of a silicon wafer in a hydrofluoric acid-containing electrolyte, followed by removal and fracture of the porous layer into particles using ultrasound. The intrinsically luminescent particles are loaded with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin. The drug-containing particles are delivered to human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells in vitro, under the guidance of a magnetic field. The high concentration of particles in the proximity of the magnetic field results in a high concentration of drug being released in that region of the Petri dish, and localized cell death is confirmed by cellular viability assay (Calcein AM).

This paper discusses the influence of ion bombardment on the characteristics of SiN films. In this study, the double-tube coaxial-line microwave plasma CVD system, which is suitable for the investigation of ion bombardment, is used to deposit SiN films. The ion bombardment energy is varied by varying the RF bias at constant ion density, As the RF bias is increased, the film density increases and the hydrogen concentration decreases, but the dangling bond density increases. The increase in the film density and decrease of hydrogen concentration are caused by the increase in film surface temperature, while the increase of the dangling bond density is caused by bond breakage due to the N+ ion implantation. When the substrate temperature is 200 degrees C and the RF bias is -175 V, the film density is 3 g/cm(3) and the hydrogen concentration is 9 at.% because of the film surface heating effect of ion bombardment acid also due to substrate heating. Substrate heating at 200 degrees C suppresses the increase in the dangling bond density. It is also demonstrated that the film surface temperature is about 200 degrees C when RF bias is -70 similar to-80 V and the substrate is unheated by any heater.

New low-temperature methods to produce GaN:Eu and Ga 2 O 3 :Eu (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) highly-luminescent powders are presented. These procedures yield finely divided powders through exothermic reactions between the precursors. The preparation of Eu-doped Ga 2 O 3 powders was achieved using a new combustion synthesis technique (hydrazine/metal-nitrate method). The process starts with aqueous solutions of Eu(NO 3 ) 3 and Ga(NO 3 ) 3 as the precursors and hydrazine as (non-carbonaceous) fuel. A spontaneous combustion reaction occurs by increasing the temperature to between 150 and 200 °C in a closed vessel filled with argon, and produces (Eu x Ga 1— x ) 2 O 3 directly. The preparation of Eu-doped GaN uses the ammonium hexafluoro-metal method. The powders present strong luminescence associated with the dopant. A sharp and strong GaN luminescence is observed, indicative of high purity and crystallinity as determined by low-temperature cathodoluminescence. The composition and powder morphology have been studied using energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
