Characteristics of pentacene organic thin film transistor with top gate and bottom contact

High performance pentacene organic thin film transistors (OTFT) were designed and fabricated using SiO₂ deposited by electron beam evaporation as gate dielectric material. Pentacene thin films were prepared on glass substrate with S--D electrode pattern made from ITO by means of thermal evaporation through self-organized process. The threshold voltage V_TH was --2.75± 0.1V in 0---50V range, and that subthreshold slopes were 0.42± 0.05V/dec. The field-effect mobility (μ_EF) of OTFT device increased with the increase of V_DS, but the μ_EF of OTFT device increased and then decreased with increased V_GS when V_DS was kept constant. When V_DS was --50V, on/off current ratio was 0.48× 10⁵ and subthreshold slope was 0.44V/dec. The μ_EF was 1.10cm²/(V.s), threshold voltage was --2.71V for the OTFT device.     

Slope enclosures for functions given by two or more branches

In this paper, we consider the automatic computation of slope enclosures for continuous real functions given by two or more branches, such as piecewise defined nonsmooth functions. We show that a commonly used formula found in the literature does not always provide a slope enclosure for such functions. Furthermore, we prove a similar formula that always holds.

Adaptive Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method for complex geometry problems on Cartesian grid

A Cartesian grid method using immersed boundary technique to simulate the impact of body in fluid has become an important research topic in computational fluid dynamics because of its simplification, automation of grid generation, and accuracy of results. In the frame of Cartesian grid, one often uses finite volume method with second order accuracy or finite difference method. In this paper, an h‐adaptive Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method on Cartesian grid with ghost cell immersed boundary method for arbitrarily complex geometries is developed. A ghost cell immersed boundary treatment with the modification of normal velocity is presented. The method is validated versus well documented test problems involving both steady and unsteady compressible flows through complex bodies over a wide range of Mach numbers. The numerical results show that the present boundary treatment to some extent reduces the error of entropy and demonstrate the efficiency, robustness, and versatility of the proposed approach.

Anomalous Scaling of Surface Growth Equations with Spatially and Temporally Correlated Noise

Based on the scaling idea of local slopes by Lopez et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 （2005） 166103], we investigate anomalous dynamic scaling of （d ＋ 1）-dimensional surface growth equations with spatially and temporally correlated noise. The growth equations studied include the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang （KPZ）, Sun-Guo-Grant （SGG）, and Lai-Das Sarma-Villain （LDV） equations. The anomalous scaling exponents in both the weak- and strong-coupling regions are obtained, respectively.     

Efficient construction of high‐resolution TVD conservative schemes for equations with source terms: application to shallow water flows

High‐resolution total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes are widely used for the numerical approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws. Their extension to equations with source terms involving spatial derivatives is not obvious. In this work, efficient ways of constructing conservative schemes from the conservative, non‐conservative or characteristic form of the equations are described in detail. An upwind, as opposed to a pointwise, treatment of the source terms is adopted here, and a new technique is proposed in which source terms are included in the flux limiter functions to get a complete second‐order compact scheme. A new correction to fix the entropy problem is also presented and a robust treatment of the boundary conditions according to the discretization used is stated.

Slope parameter and scaling of differential cross-section of Λ-p scattering

The claim of Mohapatra and Maharana thattb(s) is a better scaling variable thant(lns)² is put to test in the case of Λ-p scattering, after parametrizingb(s) asC ₁ +C ₂(lns)α. It was observed that in this case the data also prefer anα value which is close to those obtained by Mohapatra and Maharana for other scattering processes.     

Composition assessment of ferric oxide by accurate peak fitting of the Fe 2p photoemission spectrum

A quantitative study of the surface composition of ferric oxide employing photoemission spectra is presented. It was possible to accurately reproduce the expected composition (Fe_2.00±0.05O₃) by modeling the background as a combination of Shirley‐type (Shirley–Vegh–Salvi–Castle) and slope backgrounds through the active approach. The line‐shape employed to fit apparent peak asymmetries was the double‐Lorentzian. It was possible to resolve a previously unreported satellite located at ~729 eV.

Adaptive hierarchic transformations for dynamically p-enriched slope-limiting over discontinuous Galerkin systems of generalized equations

We study a family of generalized slope limiters in two dimensions for Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) solutions of advection-diffusion systems. We analyze the numerical behavior of these limiters applied to a pair of model problems, comparing the error of the approximate solutions, and discuss each limiter’s advantages and disadvantages. We then introduce a series of coupled p-enrichment schemes that may be used as standalone dynamic p-enrichment strategies, or may be augmented via any in the family of variable-in-p slope limiters presented.
