Mechanochromic LLDPE Films Doped with NIR Reflective Paliogen Black

Transition‐Metal‐Doped NIR‐Emitting Silicon Nanocrystals

Impurity-doping in nanocrystals significantly affects their electronic properties and diversifies their applications. Herein, we report the synthesis of transition metal (Mn, Ni, Co, Cu)-doped oleophilic silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) through hydrolysis/polymerization of triethoxysilane with acidic aqueous metal salt solutions, followed by thermal disproportionation of the resulting gel into a do...

Rhenium-doped MoS2 films

Black-white Reflective Liquid Crystal Display Prepared with Two Color Reflective Layers

Reflective cholesteric liquid crystal displays (Ch-LCD) with bistability are very attractive because of their excellent readability, low power consumption with image memory, high reflectivity, high contrast ratio at a wide viewing angle, and a low manufacturing cost[1]. Cholesteric liquid crystal displays have several unique features suitable for mobile displays, public information displays, si...

Conductive molecularly doped gold films

We describe a general synthesis of conductive gold thin films doped with entrapped organic molecules, and demonstrate, for the first time, the immobilization of a redox couple within an electrode in a single step. The resulting film is of dual properties: conductivity arising from the gold, and redox behavior originating from the entrapped molecule. Faster electron-transfer rates are found for ...

Effects of NIR annealing on the characteristics of al-doped ZnO thin films prepared by RF sputtering

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by employing radio frequency (RF) sputtering method for transparent conducting oxide applications. For the RF sputtering process, a ZnO:Al2O3 (2 wt.%) target was employed. In this paper, the effects of near infrared ray (NIR) annealing technique on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the AZO thi...
