Triboelectrification can occur between any two materials with different charge affinities. This phenomenon represents the fundamental physics of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Organic such as polymers have been widely used in TENGs because their dielectric properties. Inorganic are, however, not studied despite increasing attention paid to perovskite materials. In this paper, a new type ...

In this work, we attempted to design phospholipid bilayers tethered semiconducting metal oxide films. The layers assembled on compact monocomponent self-assembled monolayers (SAM) films were accomplished earlier; however, previous studies indicated a poor ability of these functionally reconstitute transmembrane proteins. Commercially available fluorine doped tin (FTO) sheet glass was chosen as ...

2014 We report resistivity measurements along the high conductivity axis of (TMTSF)2AsF6 for various hydrostatic pressures up to 12 kbar, and for transverse magnetic fields of up to 70 kOe, in the temperature range 0.1 K-300 K. We derive a phase diagram which shows a « triple » point near Tc = 1.22 K and Pc = 10.5 kbar, and a reentrant behaviour of the superconducting state inside the semicondu...

Stannyloligosilanes, Preparation, Crystal Structure Stannyloligosilanes 1 and 2 with terminal organotin groups are available by reacting alkali metal trior diorganostannides with a,-dichloroor difluorosilanes, or by treatm ent of organochlorostannanes with a,a»-difluorosilanes in the presence o f m agnesium . A ttem pts to functionalize the triorganotin derivatives 2 by halogenation reagents...

Despite the great success that theoretical approaches based on density functional theory have in describing properties of solid compounds, accurate predictions of the enthalpies of formation ( Hf ) of insulating and semiconducting solids still remain a challenge. This is mainly due to incomplete error cancellation when computing the total energy differences between the compound total energy and...

In this review, we give an overview of the properties and applications of samarium monosulfide, SmS, which has gained considerable interest as a switchable material. It shows a pressure-induced phase transition from the semiconducting to the metallic state by polishing, and it switches back to the semiconducting state by heating. The material also shows a magnetic transition, from the paramagne...
