Interfaces play an essential role in the performance of ever-shrinking semiconductor devices, making comprehensive determination of their three-dimensional (3D) structural properties increasingly important. This becomes even more relevant in compositional interfaces, as is the case for Ge/GeSi heterostructures, where chemical intermixing is pronounced in addition to their morphology. We use the electron tomography method to reconstruct buried interfaces and layers of asymmetric coupled Ge/GeSi multiquantum wells, which are considered a potential building block in THz quantum cascade lasers.

Structural electronics, as well as flexible and wearable devices are applications that are possible by merging polymers with metal nanoparticles. However, using conventional technologies, it is challenging to fabricate plasmonic structures that remain flexible. We developed three-dimensional (3D) plasmonic nanostructures/polymer sensors via single-step laser processing and further functionalization with 4-nitrobenzenethiol (4-NBT) as a molecular probe.

These multilayer materials integrate structural, morphological, and compositional versatility provided by alternating layer-by-layer polymer deposition with the capability for dramatic and reversible changes in volumes upon environmental triggers, a characteristic of chemically cross-linked responsive networks. Despite their intriguing potential, there has been limited knowledge about the structure-property relationships of multilayer hydrogels, partly because of the challenges in regulating network structural organization and the limited set of the instrumental pool to resolve structure and properties at nanometer spatial resolution.

Background: State-of-the-art 3-dimensional (3D) electron microscopy approaches provide a new standard for the visualization of human platelet ultrastructure. Application of these approaches to platelets rapidly fixed prior to purification to minimize activation should provide new insights into resting platelet ultrastructure.
Objectives: Our goal was to determine the 3D organization of α-granules, dense granules, mitochondria, and canalicular system in resting human platelets and map their spatial relationships.

Fluorination of conjugated molecules has been established as an effective structural modification strategy to influence properties and has attracted extensive attention in organic solar cells (OSCs). Here, we have investigated optoelectronic and photovoltaic property changes of OSCs made of polymer donors with the non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) ITIC and IEICO and their fluorinated counterparts IT-4F and IEICO-4F. Device studies show that fluorinated NFAs lead to reduced but increased and fill-factor (FF), and therefore, the ultimate influence to efficiency depends on the compensation of loss and gains of and FF.
