We present the combined analysis of electroluminescence (EL) and current-voltage (-) behavior of single, freestanding (In,Ga)N/GaN nanowire (NW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in an unprocessed, self-assembled ensemble grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The data were acquired in a scanning electron microscope equipped with a micromanipulator and a luminescence detection system. Single NW spectra consist of emission lines originating from different quantum wells, and the width of the spectra increases with decreasing peak emission energy. The corresponding - characteristics are described well by a modified Shockley equation. The key advantage of this measurement approach is the possibility to correlate the EL intensity of a single-NW LED with the actual current density in this NW. This way, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) can be investigated as a function of the current in a single-NW LED. The comparison of the EQE characteristic of single NWs and the ensemble device allows for a quite accurate determination of the actual number of emitting NWs in the working ensemble LED and the respective current densities in its individual NWs. This information is decisive for a meaningful and comprehensive characterization of a NW ensemble device, rendering the measurement approach employed here a very powerful analysis tool.

The performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules is greatly impacted by dust accumulation and defects appearing in photovoltaic (PV) modules. Existing studies primarily focus on the effect of dust on general photovoltaic performance, neglecting the interactions with pre-existing defects such as snail trails. These defects are known to degrade the efficiency of PV modules.

The complexes, [Pb(μ-PMPT)Br] (1) and [Pb(μ-PMPT)((μ-CHCOO)(NCS)] (2), were characterized using various physicochemical techniques such as CHN analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, and H NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, their structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

In order to improve the performance of OLEDs, a host-guest mixture was used as an emissive layer. To have better host properties, a mixture of different materials with suitable properties can also be used as a host. In this study, we used a mixture of a polymer and a small molecule as the host and studied the effect of thermal annealing on the emissive layer properties by using Ir(ppy) as the emitter.

Moisture ingress into PV module in the presence of ultraviolet radiation, high temperature, and other environmental stressors can affect the optical integrity of the PV module. Optical degradation can take the form of delamination, discolouration of encapsulant, metal grids corrosion, and trapped moisture or chemical species. This can influence the photon absorption and current transport properties in the PV module bulk, which can affect the module operating temperature.
