Ionic transition metal complexes (iTMCs) are receiving increased attention as materials capable of yielding efficient electroluminescent devices with air-stable electrodes. The operational characteristics of these devices are dominated by the presence of mobile ions that redistribute under an applied bias and assist in electronic charge injection. This article reviews recent efforts in the fiel...

By simply doping the conventional light-emitting polymer F8BT with a helically chiral aromatic molecule, it is shown that substantial levels of CP-electroluminescence can be generated directly. Both photoluminescent and electroluminescent emission from the polymer are observed to become circularly polarized, with the sign of the CP emission directly determined by the handedness of the dopant.

Oxidized triangle terarylenes with asymmetric side-aryl units are synthesized, which show photo-induced turn-on yellow luminescence based on photochemical intramolecular ring-cyclization reaction in the solid state. A direct photo-patterning process for organic electroluminescent devices is successfully demonstrated with selective light irradiation through an appropriate mask-pattern.

vibrio cholerae o1 are classified into two biotypes, classical and el tor based on susceptibility to bacteriophages and some biochemical properties, each encoding a biotype-specific genetic determinants. before 1961, most epidemics had been caused by the classical biotype. however, with the passage of time, the classical biotype missed from the scenario and the el tor emerged as the major bioty...

The influence of explant nodal positions on the in vitro shoot growth and proliferation were studied in the two rose cvs. ‘Bianca’ and ‘El Torro’. Third, fourth and fifth nodal explants were cultured on the modified MS medium supplemented with 1.0 and 5.0 mg/l BA. In both the cultivars, higher rate of proliferation (‘Bianca’ 3.75; ‘El Torro’ 2.65) were obtained from the explants distal to the a...

We have investigated the room-temperature electroluminescent properties of InSb/AlxIn1−xSb quantum-well light-emitting diodes. The maximum emission from diodes containing quantum wells occurred at significantly higher energies than the band gap of InSb. Close agreement between experimental and theoretical data confirms that recombination occurs within the quantum well. © 2006 American Institute...
