Organic electroluminescence (EL) devices were fabricated using a bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato) aluminum hydroxide complex [Al(Mq) 2 OH] as the light-emitting material. The device exhibits bright blue EL at a peak wavelength of 485 nm. A maximum luminance of about 14,000 cd/m 2 can be achieved at a driving current density of 480 mA/cm 2 . The efficiency of the device is about 4.6 cd/A. Possible mechanisms of EL blue shift of Al(Mq) 2 OH with respect to Alq 3 are discussed.
We investigated the relationship between Sn precipitation and strain relaxation in Ge 1Àx Sn x buffer layers grown by the compositionally step-graded (CSG) method on a virtual Ge substrate. We found that the strain in the upper Ge 1Àx Sn x layers is reduced by Sn precipitation rather than the lateral propagation of misfit dislocations at the interfaces of upper Ge 1Àx Sn x layers in the CSG method. The critical misfit strain was increased to 5:8 Â 10 À3 compared with that in our previous work by lowering the temperature of the postdeposition annealing, and a Sn content of 6.3% in the Ge 1Àx Sn x buffer layer was achieved with a large degree of strain relaxation using only two stacked layers of the CSG structure. An in-plane tensile strain of 0.62% in a 30-nm-thick Ge layer fabricated on these Ge 1Àx Sn x buffer layers was achieved. #
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
