ABSTRACT: Here, we show that the Charge Transfer (CT) absorption signal in bulk (BHJ) solar cell blends, measured by photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS)
Regression calibration is a method for fitting models when the independent variable X is measured with error. In regression calibration, the noisy independent
Direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectrometry was used for trace detection of the nitrate ester explosive, erythritol tetranitrate (ETN), and its sugar
Experimental measurements were carried out using a novel laser-heating technique with the most commonly used HME mixture materials, i.e., ammonium nitrate
