Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are considered promising in their application as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs). However, they suffer from low performance, especially in large-area devices. One of the key issues is the self-absorpti...

Recently, active research has been conducted on the development of flexible electronic devices. Hence, the transparent conductive film (TCF), an essential component of the device, must also be flexible. However, the commonly used indium tin oxide (IT...

Batteryless hybrid printed electronic systems manufactured on glass substrates are reported. The electronic system contains a sensor capable of detecting water, an electrochromic display, conductors, a silicon chip providing the power supply through...

A unique method was developed to significantly improve the strength of Bi_(1−x)Sb_x single crystals, the most effective thermoelectric (TE) materials in the temperature range from 100 to 200 K due to their plastic deformation by extrusion. After plasti...

The p-type semiconductors Cu${}_2$O and ZnRh${}_2$O${}_4$ have been under investigation for potential applications as transparent conducting oxides. Here, we re-evaluate their structural, electronic, and optical properties by means of first-principles calculations...

In this paper, we build a numerical p-n Si/GaAs heterojunction model using quantum-mechanical tunneling theory with various quantum tunneling interfacial materials including two-dimensional (2D) materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and gr...

Heteroepitaxial growth of Ge films on Si is necessary for the progress of integrated Si photonics technology. In this work, an in-house assembled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor was used to grow high quality epitaxial Ge films on Si...

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers with unique properties are becoming increasingly important as precursors for the fabrication of carbon fibers. Here, we suggest the preparation of porous PAN composite fibers to increase the homogeneity and thermal stab...

In this paper, we investigate a commercial nematic liquid crystal (LC) mixture namely E7 dispersed with small concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The dielectric and electro-optical characterizations have been carried out in the...

In this work, we demonstrate P3HT (poly 3-hexylthiophene) organic rectifier diode both in rigid and flexible substrate with a rectification ratio up to 10⁶. This performance has been achieved through tuning the work function of gold with a self-assem...
