Novel ITO-Si nanowire (NW) metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) photodetectors were fabricated by using n-type Si NWs as detection units and ITO films as top gate electrodes. Measurements on the Si NW based device reveal a significant photoresponse, including photocurrent generation with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of approximately 35% at a peak wavelength of 600 nm at zero external bia...

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films on flexible PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) substrates are used as transparent, flexible anodes for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). For polymer-based OLEDs having the structure: SWNT/PEDOT-PSS:MeOH/TFB (poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-N-(4-butylphenyl)diphenylamine)) + TPD-Si(2) (4,4'-bis[(p-trichlorosilylpropylphenyl)phenylamino]biphenyl) /BT (poly...

Luminescent properties of two heteroleptic dibenzoylmethanate europium(III) complexes with 1,3-bis(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propane (H2L1) and 1,4-bis(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)butane (H2L2) as ancillary ligands are described. The two double-layer-type electroluminescent cells with the structures: (1) ITO/NPB(40 nm)/Eu(DBM)2HL1 (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) and (2) ITO/NPB(40 ...

Nickel oxide (NiO) semiconductors thin films were prepared by e-beam evaporation technique at different substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400 C on glass substrate. Glancing incident X-ray diffraction depict that with the increases in substrate temperature the preferred orientation changes from (111) to (200) direction. Atomic force microscopy was used to investigate the su...

We present a Diaz–Metcalf type operator inequality as a reverse Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and then apply it to get some operator versions of Pólya–Szegö’s, Greub–Rheinboldt’s, Kantorovich’s, Shisha–Mond’s, Schweitzer’s, Cassels’ and Klamkin–McLenaghan’s inequalities via a unified approach. We also give some operator Grüss type inequalities and an operator Ozeki– Izumino–Mori–Seo type inequality...

Cardiac ion channels and their respective accessory subunits are critical in maintaining proper electrical activity of the heart. Studies have indicated that the K+ channel interacting protein 2 (KChIP2), originally identified as an auxiliary subunit for the channel Kv4, a component of the transient outward K+ channel (Ito), is a Ca2+ binding protein whose regulatory function does not appear re...

The diuretic agent indapamide has been reported to block the slow component of the delayed rectifier K+ current (IKs) without altering the rapid component (IKr) or the inward rectifier current and has been used as a pharmacological probe for IKs; however, the effects of indapamide on Na+ (INa), L-type Ca2+ (ICa), and transient outward K+ (Ito) currents have not been determined. We applied tight...

In this   paper,  we   present  some  refinements  of the   famous Young  type  inequality.   As  application  of   our   result, we  obtain  some  matrix inequalities   for   the  Hilbert-Schmidt norm  and   the  trace   norm. The results    obtained   in  this  paper  can  be   viewed   as  refinement  of  the   derived  results   by  H.  Kai  [Young  type  inequalities  for matrices,  J.  Ea...
