A workshop report on Electron Microscopy Frontiers: Challenges and Opportunities

December 21, 2017
Author(s)
June W. Lau, John E. Bonevich, Andrew A. Herzing, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay, Robert R. Keller
For two days beginning on March 8, 2017, a planning workshop entitled “Electron Microscopy Frontiers: Opportunities and Challenges” was hosted by the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Grass

Structural and electrical analysis of epitaxial 2D/3D vertical heterojunctions of monolayer MoS2 on GaN

August 4, 2017
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Terrance P. O'Regan, Andrew A. Herzing, Dimitry Ruzmetov, Robert A. Burke, Kehao Zhang, A. Glen Birdwell, DeCarlos Taylor, E Byrd, Joshua A. Robinson, Tony G. Ivanov, M R. Neupane, S D. Walck
Integrating two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) semiconductors to realize vertical heterojunctions with novel electronic and optoelectronic properties is gaining interest from the device community. In this study, we utilize an approach that

Morphological characterization of fullerene and fullerene-free organic photovoltaics by combined real and reciprocal space techniques

May 26, 2017
Author(s)
Donglin Zhao, Qinghe Wu, Luping Yu, Harald Ade, Dean DeLongchamp, Lee J. Richter, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Andrew Herzing
Morphology can play a critical role in determining function in organic photovoltaic (OPV) systems. Recently molecular acceptors have showed promise to replace¬ fullerene derivatives as acceptor materials in bulk heterojunction solar cells and have achieved

Optical Asymmetry and Nonlinear Light Scattering from Gold Nanorods

May 16, 2017
Author(s)
Andrew Herzing
A systematic study is presented of the intensity-dependent nonlinear light scattering spectra of gold nanorods under resonant excitation of the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The spectra exhibit features due to coherent second and third

Reduced Bimolecular Recombination in Blade-Coated, High-Efficiency, Small-Molecule Solar Cells

March 22, 2017
Author(s)
Sebastian Engmann, Hyun W. Ro, Andrew A. Herzing, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Chad R. Snyder, Lee J. Richter, Adam J. Barito, David J. Gundlach
The full benefit of emerging solution deposited photovoltaic devices requires development of processes compatible with high speed manufacturing. Extensive studies of the lab-to-fab challenge have been performed on polymer donor based organic photovoltaics

In situ X-ray scattering studies of the influence of an additive on the formation of a low-bandgap bulk- heterojunction

February 21, 2017
Author(s)
Felicia A. Bokel, Lee J. Richter, Sebastian Engmann, Andrew Herzing, Brian A. Collins, Hyun W. Ro, Dean DeLongchamp
The evolution of the morphology of a high-efficiency, blade-coated, organic-photovoltaic (OPV) active layer containing the low band-gap polymer poly[(4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophene-2-yl]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene)-2,6-diyl-alt-(4-(2-ethylhexanoyl)

Structure and Order in Organic Semiconductors

January 17, 2017
Author(s)
Chad R. Snyder, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Ryan C. Nieuwendaal, Andrew A. Herzing
Several techniques for characterizing semiconducting polymer order on different length scales are presented, including (1) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), (2) solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), (3) transmission electron

Origins and Demonstrations of Electrons with Orbital Angular Momentum

January 9, 2017
Author(s)
Benjamin McMorran, Amit Agrawal, Peter Ercius, Vincenzo Grillo, Andrew Herzing, Tyler R. Harvey, Martin Linck
The surprising message of the 1992 paper of Allen, Beijersbergen, Spreeuw, and Woerdman (ABSW) was that photons could exhibit orbital motion in free space, which subsequently launched advancements in optical manipulation, microscopy, quantum optics
