Organic phototransistors capable of absorbing in the visible light spectrum without color filters are the best alternatives to conventional inorganic phototransistors. In this study, the effect of illumination on the electrical characteristics of a solution-processed poly(3-hexylthiophene): 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene-blend thin-film transistor (TFT) was investigated. The wavelengths of the irradiated light were determined from the absorbance spectrum of the blended film and changes in the transistor's electrical characteristics were explained in relation to the electrical and light absorption properties of each component material. The photosensitivity and absorbing properties of the blended TFT were enhanced at 515 and 450 nm and exhibited positively shifted threshold voltages under incident light. The results indicated that the photo-generated exci-ton pair characteristics matched the absorbance properties of the blended material and that the absorption and photocurrent characteristics of the respective components could be combined. This process for the heterogeneous blending of organic semiconductors has the potential to improve phototransistor performance and contribute to the development of broadband absorbing phototransistors.

Targeting ferroptosis, cell death caused by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides, and disruption of the redox balance are promising strategies in cancer therapy owing to the physiological characteristics of cancer cells. However, the detection of ferroptosis using imaging remains challenging. We previously reported that redox maps showing the reduction power per unit time of implanted tumor tissues via non-invasive redox imaging using a novel, compact, and portable electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) device could be compared with tumor tissue sections.

Magnetic susceptibility source separation (χ-separation), an advanced quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) method, enables the separate estimation of paramagnetic and diamagnetic susceptibility source distributions in the brain. Similar to QSM, it requires solving the ill-conditioned problem of dipole inversion, suffering from so-called streaking artifacts. Additionally, the method utilizes reversible transverse relaxation ( ) to complement frequency shift information for estimating susceptibility source concentrations, requiring time-consuming data acquisition for (e.

Structural network control principles provided novel and efficient clues for the optimization of personalized drug targets (PDTs) related to state transitions of individual patients. However, most existing methods focus on one subnetwork or module as drug targets through the identification of the minimal set of driver nodes and ignore the state transition capabilities of other modules with different configurations of drug targets [i.e.

Edge contacts offer a significant advantage for enhancing the performance of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) devices by interfacing with the metallic contacts on the lateral side, which allows the encapsulation of all of the channel material. However, despite intense research, the fabrication of feasible electrical edge contacts to TMDCs to improve device performance remains a great challenge, as interfacial chemical characterization via conventional methods is lacking. A major bottleneck in explicitly understanding the chemical and electronic properties of the edge contact at the metal-two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor interface is the small cross section when characterizing nominally one-dimensional edge contacts.

Direct current magnetron sputtering was employed to fabricate In-N dual-doped SnO films, with varying concentrations of N in a mixed sputtering gas of N and argon (Ar). The quantity of -substituted O elements in the SnO lattice was confirmed through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A comprehensive investigation of properties of the In-N dual-doped SnO films was conducted using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, Hall effect measurements, and current-voltage (-) characteristic assessments.
