The performance of semiconducting polymers has been steadily increasing in the last 20
years. Improved control over the microstructure of these materials and a deeper …

The ligand K-edge probes the ligand 1s→ valence np transitions. These transitions acquire
intensity when the ligand is bound to an open shell metal ion. This intensity quantifies the …

Gel electrolytes have attracted increasing attention for solid-state supercapacitors. An ideal
gel electrolyte usually requires a combination of advantages of high ion migration rate …

The electrical performance of doped semiconducting polymers is strongly governed by
processing methods and underlying thin-film microstructure. We report on the influence of …

A challenge in molecular electronics is to control the strength of the molecule–electrode
coupling to optimize device performance. Here we show that non-covalent contacts between …

abstract The exchange bias effect, discovered more than fifty years ago, is a fundamental
interfacial property, which occurs between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials …

Chondrites accreted the oldest solid materials in the solar system including dust processed
in the protoplanetary disk and diverse organic compounds. After accretion, asteroidal …

Resonant soft X‐ray scattering (RSoXS) is an emerging, powerful technique to probe the
nano‐to‐mesoscale structure of polymers and other molecules. It joins together small‐angle …

Seemingly simple yet surprisingly difficult to probe, excess protons in water constitute
complex quantum objects with strong interactions with the extended and dynamically …

Polymer semiconductors such as the alkyl-substituted polythiophenes have long been
recognized as solution-processable materials for device applications, but the carrier mobility …
