The fundamental competition between order and disorder lies at the heart of materials science and technology. Interactions between atoms or electrons with sub nanometer spacings can lead to collective organization into states with long-range order. Order in electronic states gives rise to physical consequences such as magnetism, ferroelectricity and superconductivity. In bulk materials, the col...

Introduction CdSe-P3HT (poly(3-hexylthiophene))) nanocomposites are studied for their application in hybrid solar cells. Semiconductor inorganic/organic hybrid solar cells offer many advantages relative to their non-hybrid counterparts. They have the advantages of conjugated polymers such as light weight, flexibility, abundance of resources, the potential for roll-to-roll and non-vacuum process...
