Recent advances in spin transport in organic semiconductors

The spin relaxation time is long in organic semiconductors because of the weak spin-orbit and hyperfine interactions,leading to intensive study on spin transport in organic semiconductors.The rapid progress towards utilizing spin degree of freedom in organic electronic devices is occurring.While the spin injection,transport and detection in organic semiconductors are demonstrated,the fundamental physics of these phenomena remains unclear.This paper highlights recent progress that has been made,focusing primarily on present experimental work.

Preparation of Silver Nanoshells on Silica Particles by a Simple Two-step Process

A simple two-step method was developed to prepare silver nanoshells coated on silica paticles. The method involves two steps: concentration of reaction precursor (AgNO3) on particle surfaces and subsequent reduction by formaldehyde. The obtained composite particles were characterized by TEM, ED, and SEM-EDS measurements. The results show that the silver nanoshell is coated on silica particle surface in the form of a polycrystalline (cubic structure) layer with average thickness of 20 nm and weight percentage of 1.9%.

Hybrid photoanode films based on sparse ZnO rod array-TiO2 nanoparticles in dye-sensitized solar cells

ZnO-TiO2 hybrid photoanodes were fabricated via the doctor-blade method by integrating vertically-grown sparse ZnO arrays with hydrothermal TiO2 nanoparticles. A special surface-coating technique was developed to deposit a thin TiO2 layer on the surface of ZnO rods. Microstructure, optical and photoelectrochemical performance of the hybrid photoanodes were investigated. The denser ZnO array exhibited bad filling behavior of nanoparticles in the interspace of ZnO rods, strong scattering and low conversion efficiency (0.27%). The sparser array showed a much better integrated microstructure, improved transmittance and high conversion efficiency (2.68%). The surface modification of ZnO rods by the TiO2 thin layer was found useful in improving the interfacial microstructure between the ZnO rod and the TiO2 bulk film, and the total conversion efficiency of 3.01% was achieved, higher than that of the pure TiO2 nanoparticle cell (2.93%). The increased scattering effects on the incident light, the enhanced electron transportation at TiO2/dye/electrolyte interface, and the inhabited recombination were responsible for this improvement.     

Spin injection in the multiple quantum-well LED structure with the Fe/AlOx injector

A spin-injection/-detection device has been fabricated based on the multiple quantum well light emitting diode (LED) structure. It is found that only a broad electroluminescence (EL) peak of a full width at half maximum of 8.6 nm appears at the wavelength of 801 nm in EL spectra with a circular luminescence polarization degree of 18%, despite PL spectra always show three well resolved peaks. The kinetic energy gained by injected electrons and holes in their drift along opposite directions broadens the EL pe...
