    Journal of Applied Physics, American Institute of Physics, 2019, 126 (4), pp.044306. We study by means of Monte-Carlo numerical simulations the resistance of two-dimensional random percolating networks of stick, widthless nanowires. We use the multi-nodal representation (MNR) 1 to model a nanowire network as a graph. We derive numerically from this model the expression of the total resistance as a function of all meaningful parameters, geometrical and physical , over a wide range of variation for each. We justify our choice of non-dimensional variables applying Buckingham π−theorem. The effective resistance of 2D random percolating networks of nanowires is found to write as R eq (ρ, Rc, Rm,w) = A N, L l * ρl * + B N, L l * Rc + C N, L l * Rm,w where N , L l * are the geometrical parameters (number of wires, aspect ratio of electrode separation over wire length) and ρ, Rc, Rm,w are the physical parameters (nanowire linear resistance per unit length, nanowire/nanowire contact resistance, metallic electrode/nanowire contact resistance). The dependence of the resistance on the geometry of the network, one the one hand, and on the physical parameters (values of the resistances), on the other hand, is thus clearly separated thanks to this expression, much simpler than the previously reported analytical expressions.

    Journal of Physical Chemistry C, American Chemical Society, 2019, 123, pp.17728-17734. Ionic migration in halide perovskite materials is now well recognized to affect the electrical properties of perovskite solar cells. Native point defects such as vacancies are considered as responsible for migration of ions. In order to interpret the unusual behavior of current–voltage curves in methylammonium lead tri-iodide perovskite (MAPI) solar cells, we combined two independent experiments: temperature-dependent conductivity measurements (213–363 K) under dark and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) under electrical bias conditions. From the film conductivity measurements, we observed two different conduction regimes: an ionic conduction regime at temperatures higher than 263 K, associated with an activation energy of 0.25 eV, and an electronic conduction regime below 263 K. At room temperature, both conductivities are around 10–7 S/cm. From GD-OES, we observed directly a reversible migration of iodide ions under positive or negative bias (minute time scale) at room temperature and deduced an iodide ion diffusion coefficient of 1.3 × 10–12 cm2·s–1 and a mobility of 5 × 10–11 cm2·V–1·s–1.

  • Synthesis and investigation of 7,7’ disubstituted Isoindigo for organic electronic applications

    , 2019. The development of novel electron-deficient acceptor building blocks plays a vital role in conjugated materials for electronic applications. Incorporation of lactam moieties on conjugated backbones is one of the most important design concepts of acceptor units. Isoindigo (iI) is a lactam core fused with phenyl group, it is an excellent electron-accepting building block and recently it has become very popular in semiconductors for OPV applications. Isoindigo can be functionalized on different position. The electronic effects of substitution pattern (5,5’ vs. 6,6’) and substituent nature have been reported. The study showed that substitution patterns played significant roles on the photo-physical properties of molecular iI compounds. The 6,6’ substituted derivatives had more extended conjugation than the 5,5’ substituted derivatives because of the large contribution of electronic transition dipole moment in the axis aligned with the 6, 6’ carbons. However, little attention has been paid to the substitution at 4,4’ positions and 7,7’ positions, Figure 1. Figure 1: Structure of Isoindigo derivatives In this work, we report on the effect of the substituent at the 4,4’ and 7,7’-positions of the iI-core. Hence, we have developed a new method for the synthesis of various bromo-isatin and bromo oxindole derivatives. Extending the conjugation at the 7-position via Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling reaction yields to useful functionalized-isatin, as synthon for further transformation. Direct condensation of 7-bromoisatin and 7-bromo-oxindole in acetic acid afforded 7,7′-dibromo-iI. However, the large steric hindrance induced by the bromine atom at

    ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Washington, D.C. : American Chemical Society, 2019, 11 (38), pp.35122-35131. We report the fabrication of nanostructured microcantilevers employed as sensors for the detection of organophosphorus (OPs) vapors. These micromechanical sensors are prepared using a two-step procedure first optimized on a silicon wafer. TiO 2 one-dimensional nanostructures are synthesized at a silicon surface by a solvothermal method and then grafted with bifunctional molecules having an oxime group known for its strong affinity with organophosphorus compounds. The loading of oxime molecules grafted on the different nanostructured surfaces was quantified by UV spectroscopy. It has been found that a wafer covered by vertically aligned rutile TiO 2 nanorods (NRs), with an average length and width of 9.5 μm and 14.7 nm, respectively, provides an oxime function density of 360 nmol cm −2. The optimized TiO 2 nanorod synthesis was successfully reproduced on the cantilevers, leading to a homogeneous and reproducible TiO 2 NR film with the desired morphology. Thereafter, oxime molecules have been successfully grafted on the nanostructured cantilevers. Detection tests were performed in a dynamic mode by exposing the microcantilevers to dimethyl methylphosphonate (a model compound of toxic OPs agents) and following the shift of the resonant frequency. The nanostructure and the presence of the molecules on a TiO 2 NR surface both improve the response of the sensors. A detection limit of 2.25 ppm can be reached with this type of sensor.

    Journal of the American Chemical Society, American Chemical Society, 2019, 141 (23), pp.9373-9381. Designing stable open-shell organic materials through the modifications of the π-topology of molecular organic semiconductors have attracted recently considerable attention. However, their uses as an active layer in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are very limited and the obtained hole and electron charge mobilities are around 10 −3 cm 2 V −1 s −1. Herein, we disclosed the synthesis of two materials so-called tetraceno-tetracene (TT) and pentacenopentacene (PP) which have low band gap of 1.79 and 1.42 eV, respectively. Their ground state natures have been investigated by different experiments including steady state absorption, electron spin resonance, superconducting quantum interfering device (SQUID) and variable temperature NMR along with DFT calculations. TT and PP have closed-shell and singlet open-shell structures in their ground state, respectively , and possess high stability. Their biradical characteristics were found to be 0.50 and 0.64. The origin of the open-shell character of PP is related to the concomitant opening of two tetracenes with the recovering of two extra aromatic sextets and a small HOMO-LUMO energy gap (gap < 1.5 eV). Thanks to the high stability, thin film OFET devices could be fabricated. In TG-BC configuration PP shows remarkably high hole mobility of 1.4 cm 2 V −1 s −1 while TT exhibits a hole mobility of 0.77 cm 2 V −1 s −1. In configuration of BG-TC, ambipolar behaviors for both were obtained with hole and electron mobilities of 0.21 and 0.01 cm 2 V −1 s −1 for PP and 0.14 and 0.006 cm 2 V −1 s −1 for TT.

    Plasma Sources Science and Technology, IOP Publishing, 2019, 28 (5), pp.055003. In this paper, we use a fluid model to simulate the excitation of a hydrogen radio-frequency discharge, and employ tailored voltage waveforms to assess the effect of charged species transport properties. Results of the fluid simulation are compared with experimental data and previous results obtained with a hybrid model. Several expressions for electron and ion transport coefficients are compared, and their impact on the self-bias potential is studied. The self-bias is shown to be insensitive to the choice of electron transport coefficients, while remarkably sensitive to variations in ion mobility. Besides, our results show that fluid models can be competitive with hybrid models, provided self-consistent ion transport models and rate constants are used. (10.1088/1361-6595/ab067d)

Herein, the experimental physicochemical and chiroptical properties of a series of phosphahelicenes are reported, focusing on their UV/Vis absorption, luminescence, electronic circular dichroism, optical rotations, and circularly polarized luminescence. Furthermore, detailed analysis of absorption and ECD spectra performed with the help of quantum-chemical calculations allowed us to highlight general features of these helicenic phosphines. Finally, due to well-suited electrochemical properties and thermal stability, the systems were successfully used as emitters in organic light-emitting diodes. (10.1002/chem.201806140)
