Inverted top-emitting organic light-emitting devices (ITOLEDs) employing thin film of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) capped with vacuum deposited semitransparent silver layer as top anode were studied. The devices consisted of C-545T doped in Alq3 as emitting layers exhibited a maximum external current efficiency of ~11cd/A and a turn on voltage of ~6.4V.We attribute the good performance of the devi...

A platform for high index-contrast integrated photonics based on tantalum pentoxide submicrometer waveguides on silicon substrates is introduced. The platform allows demonstration of microring resonators with loaded quality factor, Q, of 67,000 and waveguides with a propagation loss of 4.9 dB/cm. Grating couplers, with an insertion loss of ~6 dB per coupler and 3 dB bandwidth of ~50 nm, are als...

A new series of 30 miscellaneous National Toxicology Program chemicals has been evaluated prospectively for carcinogenicity and overt toxicity by COMPACT (Computer Optimised Molecular Parametric Analysis for Chemical Toxicity. CYP1A and CYP2E1). Evaluations were also made by Hazardexpert, and for metal ion redox potentials; and these, together with COMPACT, were compared with results from the A...
