Interfacial modifying layer-driven high-performance organic thin-film transistors and their nitrogen dioxide gas sensors

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based on bottom-gate bottom-contact configuration were fabricated by inserting two kinds of modifying layers at the interface of source/drain electrode and organic semiconductor, while nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) sensing capability was also evaluated based on the obtained OTFTs. Compared to OTFT without interfacial layer, the field-effect mobility (μ) was enhanced from 0.018 cm²/Vs to 0.15 cm²/Vs by incorporating with MoO_x interfacial layer. Moreover, when exposed to 30 ppm NO₂, the saturation current and μ of OTFT with MoO_x interfacial layer increase 22.7% and 26.7%, respectively, while in original OTFT, the values are only 3.0% and 3.7%, respectively. The mechanism of performance improvement of OTFT sensor was systematically studied by focusing on the interface of source/drain electrode and organic semiconductor. The reduced contact resistance leads to higher μ, meanwhile, pentacene morphology modulation on MoO_x contributes to better diffusion of NO₂ molecules. As a result, higher μ and more diffused gas molecules enhance the gas sensing property of the transistor.     

Efficient red phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes based on solution processed all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite as hole transporting layer

An efficient red phosphorescent organic light emitting diode (PhOLED) has been realized by utilizing a composite hole transporting layer comprised of all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbBr₃ via spin-coating and 1,3-bis(9-carbazolyl) benzene (mCP) by vacuum depositing, in which CsPbBr₃ film is used as a hole transporting layer and mCP plays a dominant role in electron and exciton blocking. And this PhOLED shows a saturated red emission coordinated at CIE (0.65, 0.33) driven at 7.5 V, a maximum brightness of 20,750 cd/m², and a maximum current efficiency of 10.64 cd/A, which is as 1.87 times as that 5.68 cd/A of the reference PhOLEDs based on traditional small organic molecular hole transporting material N,N′-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)-benzi (NPB). The electroluminescent (EL) spectra and the energy level alignment of different PhOLEDs are investigated. The enhanced EL performances are ascribed to improved hole injecting and transporting behaviors, and better electron and exciton confinements by introducing the composite hole transporting layer CsPbBr₃/mCP.     

Sputtered Zn(O,S) buffer layers for CIGS solar modules—from lab to pilot production

Sputtering of Zn(O,S) from ZnO/ZnS compound targets has been proven to be a promising buffer layer process for Cd‐free CIGS modules due to easy in‐line integration, low cost and high efficiency on lab scale. In this publication, we report on successful upscaling of the lab process to pilot production. A record aperture efficiency of 13.2% has been reached on a 50 × 120 cm² sized module. Neither a non‐doped ZnO layer nor additional annealing steps are required. Moreover, this very reproducible process yields a standard deviation comparable with that of the CdS base line. In contrast to lab experiments, strong performance gain after light soaking has been observed. The light‐soak‐induced power increase depends on the preparation of the window layer. Accelerated aging tests show high stability of module power. This is confirmed by outdoor testing for 20 months. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A survey of cross‐layer protocols for IEEE 802.11 wireless multi‐hop mesh networks

There has been an escalation in deployment and research of wireless mesh networks by both the business community and academia in the last few years. Their attractive characteristics include low deployment cost, a low‐cost option to extend network coverage and ease of maintenance due to their self‐healing properties. Multiple routes exist between the sender and receiver nodes because of the mesh layout that ensures network connectivity even when node or link failures occur. Recent advances among others include routing metrics, optimum routing, security, scheduling, cross‐layer designs and physical layer techniques. However, there are still challenges in wireless mesh networks as discussed in this paper that need to be addressed. Cross‐layer design allows information from adjacent and non‐adjacent layers to be used at a particular layer for performance improvement. This paper presents a survey of cross‐layer protocol design approaches applied to the IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless multi‐hop mesh networks that have been proposed over the last few years for improved performance. We summarize the current research efforts in cross‐layer protocol design using the IEEE 802.11 standard in identifying unsolved issues that are a promising avenue to further research.

FaceHunter: A multi-task convolutional neural network based face detector

In this paper, we propose a new multi-task Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based face detector, which is named FaceHunter for simplicity. The main idea is to make the face detector achieve a high detection accuracy and obtain much reliable face boxes. Reliable face boxes output will be much helpful for further face image analysis. To reach this goal, we design a deep CNN network with a multi-task loss, i.e., one is for discriminating face and non-face, and another is for face box regression. An adaptive pooling layer is added before full connection to make the network adaptive to variable candidate proposals, and the truncated SVD is applied to compress the parameters of the fully connected layers. To further speed up the detector, the convolutional feature map is directly used to generate the candidate proposals by using Region Proposal Network (RPN). The proposed FaceHunter is evaluated on the AFW dataset, FDDB dataset and Pascal Faces respectively, and extensive experiments demonstrate its powerful performance against several state-of-the-art detectors.
