Open AccessHybrid gold/DNA nanowire circuit with sub-10 nm nanostructure arrays
We report on a simple and efficient method for the selective positioning of Au/DNA hybrid nanocircuits using a sequential combination of electron-beam lithography (EBL), plasma ashing, and a molecular patterni...

Post-plasma treatment of a carbon nanowall for use as a counter electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell
This research investigates plasma-treated carbon nanowalls (CNW) for use as counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The CNWs were synthesized on a fluorine-tin-oxide (FTO) glass substrate via...

Increase in the DSSC efficiency when using metal-coated carbon nanowall counter electrodes
This research was conducted to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using metal-layer-coated carbon nanowalls (CNWs) as counter electrodes. The CNWs were synthesized on a fluorine-doped...

Effect of drying time for the qualitative active layer of an organic photovoltaic device
We investigated the effect of the drying time on the active layer based on a regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), as well as the performance of polym...

A study on the properties of microcrystalline and nanocrystalline diamond films synthesized by using a microwave PECVD method
In this study, diamond films were synthesized by using a microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). H2 and CH4 gases were used on a Si wafer after pretreatment with a DC bias instead of the conv...

Spectroellipsometry Studies of Zn1−xCdxSe: From Optical Functions to Heterostructure Characterization
The dielectric functions of 0.5-1.5 µm Zn1−xCdxSe (0≤x≤0.34) epilayers on GaAs have been determined over the photon energy range 1.5≤E≤5.3 eV. These spectra have been parameterized using the Sellmeier approximati...
