Extending the ionic conductivity is pre-requisite of electrolytes in fuel cell technology for high-electrochemical performance. In this regards, introduction semiconductor-oxide materials and approach heterostructure formation by modulating energy bands to enhance conduction acting as electrolyte cell-device are employed. Semiconductor (n-type; SnO2) plays key role introducing into p-type SrFe0...

The semiconductor properties of a carbon nanotube film can be changed from p-type to n-type by molecular wrapping oxyethylene surfactants.

Organic thin film transistor (OTFT) performance is highly materials interface-dependent, and dramatic performance enhancements can be achieved by properly modifying the semiconductor/gate dielectric interface. However, the origin of these effects is not well understood, as this is a classic "buried interface" problem that has traditionally been difficult to address. Here we address the question...

A theory based on the Bardeen formalism is developed for computing the tunnel current between a metal tip and a semiconductor surface. Tip-induced band bending in the semiconductor is included, with the electrostatic potential computed in a fully threedimensional model whereas the tunnel current is computed in the limit of large tip radii. Localized states forming at the semiconductor surface a...

Interfacial engineering at the dielectric/semiconductor interface is highly crucial for fabricating organic field-effect transistors with high performance. In this study, a bilayer MXene/semiconductor configuration introduced to fabricate high-performance n-type transistor, where electrical charges are formed and modulated SiO2/semiconductor interface, MXene nanosheets serve as primary charge c...

Recently, we developed a computational model that allowed us to study the influence a semiconductor membrane has on a DNA molecule translocating through a nanopore in this membrane. Our model incorporated both the self-consistent Poisson-Nernst-Planck simulations for the electric potential of a solid state membrane immersed in an electrolyte solution together with the Brownian dynamics of the b...

Spectral sensitization by metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc) films was observed on various semiconductor electrodes (single-crystal n-TiO2, n-SrTi03, n-WO3, n-ZnO, n-CdS, n-CdSe, n-Si, and n-Gap; Sn02 conducting glass). The spectral response of the sensitized photocurrent was generally the same as the absorption spectrum of the phthalocyanine. The rather thick (400 8, to 1 pm) H2Pc films showed b...
