The
secondary kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) of red phosphorescent
Ir(III) complexes and the corresponding devices have been investigated.
The selective deuterated red emitters show negligible influence on
the luminescent spectra, but have positive effects on the quantum
efficiencies and stabilities in the devices. As secondary KIEs predicted,
the photolysis coinciding with the electrolysis of the deuterated
complexes in the devices, measured via decreasing of luminescent intensity,
are reduced in rate. An about 33% increase of the device working lifetime
could be readily obtained with the strategy of selective deuteration
on the emitter complexes. The findings demonstrate the importance
of the isotopic effect on the performance improvement of organic light
emitting devices and will also trigger the study on organic optoelectronic
materials via isotopic tools.
Efficient and durable OLEDs of cyan, greenish yellow, yellow and white colors were fabricated in simple structures with Pt–Cpy bonded complexes, giving state-of-the-art tuning the color of electroluminescence.
Poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4‐styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been intensively studied for its thermoelectric applications. Structural modulation to improve crystalline ordering, chain conformation and film morphology is a promising way to decouple the trade‐off between conductivity and Seebeck coefficient and thus improve the thermoelectric power factor. Post treatment with ionic liquid ([CoCl2 ⋅ 6H2O]:[ChCl]) bearing cobalt‐containing anions resulted in a remarkable enhancement of the power factor to 76.8 μW m−1 K−2. This IL combines the influence of a high‐boiling polar organic solvent and diffusing ions. A high σ mainly resulted from the efficient removal of PSS chains, ordering of the structure and delocalization of bipoloran‐dominant transport after conformational change. The increase in S was not due to dedoping of PEDOT chains, but rather the sharp feature of the density of states at the Fermi level induced by ion‐exchange with unconventional anions.
An optical regenerative wavelength conversion scheme without separated pump laser is put forward to promote the wavelength utilization ratio in distributed satellite network. The scheme adopts the self-phase modulation(SPM) in semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA) to broaden the signal spectrum toward both higher and lower frequency owing to the property that the time of carrier recover is less than pulsewidth. Then the signal light and pump light are extracted by a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter respectively. Finally, the wavelength conversion is realized based on the four-wave mixing(FWM), where the signal light and pump light are passing through another SOA. The simulation results demonstrate that the conversion efficiency can be more than 15dB, and the Q factor improvement can reach to 4dB when input power is small than -22dBm.
As the product of a circuit’s voltage and current, apparent power (S) is of paramount necessity and importance in electrical utilities, electronics, communication, and neural network systems. Based on the existing AC power analysis on the two-terminal passive elements (i.e., R, L, and C), some in-depth research on AC apparent power calculations for second-order memory elements and memristive systems is introduced to help with revealing their complex and unique non-linear phenomena. This paper derives the forms of real power, reactive power, and apparent power for the proposed second-order memory elements (i.e., MR, MC, and ML) and reveals the difference between ideal memory elements and traditional passive ones (i.e., R, C, and L). For all involved memory elements, harmonic values and an extra term occur in the expression of powers to represent their memory characteristics. Especially, the real power is a function of a circuit’s dissipative elements (usually resistances R), but not exactly the memristor (MR). Then, the corresponding curves could be depicted, which demonstrate the differences between R/C/L and MR/MC/ML and verified that harmonic values existed in SMR/SMC/SML, meaning that it would perpetually supply energy when operated with an alternating current.
