Article Abstract
The high responsivity and broad spectral sensitivity of organic photodetectors (OPDs) present a bright future of commercialization. However, the relatively high dark current density still limits its development. Herein, two novel nonpolar p-type conjugated small molecules, NSN and NSSN, are synthesized as interface layers to enhance the performance of the OPDs, which not only can tune energy alignments and increase the reverse charge injection barrier but also can reduce the interfacial trap density. Moreover, benefiting from the smoother surface morphology and enhanced conductivity, the NSN exhibited superior charge transport and collection properties. Consequently, the OPD with NSN achieved a dark current density of 0.37 nA cm and a high specific detectivity of 2.77 × 10 Jones at -2 V. More importantly, the optimized OPDs can be successfully integrated into optical communication systems, demonstrating precise digital signal communication without obvious distortion, showing promising application potential in the wireless transmission system.

This study employs first-principles calculations to investigate the behavior of two-dimensional carriers at the interfaces and surfaces of polar/polar LaAlO/KTaO (LAO/KTO) heterostructures. Unlike traditional LaAlO/SrTiO (LAO/STO) polar/nonpolar heterostructures with LaAlO unit-cell thickness-dependent critical conductive behavior, the LaAlO/KTaO heterostructures are demonstrated to have intrinsic two-dimensional carriers with carrier concentrations reaching up to 10 cm, significantly higher than those observed in LaAlO/SrTiO systems. Furthermore, in contrast to traditional sandwich heterostructure models, the single-interface LaAlO/KTaO heterostructures exhibit no bandgap dependence on the LaAlO thickness.

A surfactant-free ammonia and carbamide precursor-modulated engineering of self-assembled flower-like 3D NiO nanostructures based on ordered β-Ni(OH) and turbostratic Ni(OH)(NO) nanoplate-structured intermediates is reported. By employing complementary structural and spectroscopic techniques, fundamental insights into structural and chemical transformations from intermediates to NiO nanoparticles (NPs) are provided. FTIR, Raman and DSC analyses show that the transformation of intermediates to NiO NPs involves subsequent loss of NO and OH species through a double-step phase transformation at 306 and 326 °C corresponding to the loss of free interlayer ions and HO species, respectively, followed by the loss of chemically bonded OH and NO ions.

In this study, we employ density functional theory based first-principles calculations to investigate the spin-orbit effects in the electronic structure of a polar-nonpolar sandwich heterostructure namelyLaAlO3/SrTiO3/LaAlO3. Our focus on theTi-3dbands reveals an inverted ordering of theSrTiO3-t2gorbital near the n-type interface, which is consistent with earlier experimental work. In contrast, toward the p-type interface, the orbital ordering aligns with the natural ordering ofSrTiO3orbitals, influenced by crystal field splitting.

We report the observation of a magnetocapacitance effect at the interface between Ni and epitaxial nonpolar BiInO thin films at room temperature. A detailed surface study using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals the formation of an intermetallic Ni-Bi alloy at the Ni/BiInO interface and a shift in the Bi 4f and In 3d core levels to higher binding energies with increasing Ni thickness. The latter infers band bending in BiInO, corresponding to the formation of a p-type Schottky barrier.
