DOI: 10.1016/j.jlumin.2017.03.058
Abstract: Abstract Photoexcited ultra-thin films of the organic semiconductor N,N'-bis( n -octyl)-dicyanoperylene-3,4:9,10-bis dicarboximide (DPI8-CN2), grown on thermal Si/SiO 2 , exhibit an intense room temperature emission, strongly dependent on molecular coverage, even for sub-monolayer thicknesses. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1557/mrc.2019.67
Abstract: This paper reports the molecular organization and mechanical properties of electrospun, post-drawn polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. Without post-drawing, the polymer chain was kinked and oriented in hexagonal crystalline structures. Immediate post-drawing in the semi-solid state disrupted… read more here.
