This work describes a fully wireless sensory system where a chipless strategy is followed in the sensor part. Alternatively, to characterize only the sensing element, we present the response of the reader antenna when the sensing element is placed in its vicinity: changes in the parameter of interest are seen by the reader through inductive coupling, varying its frequency response. The sensing part consists of a LC circuit manufactured by printing techniques on a flexible substrate, whose electrical permittivity shows dependence with the moisture content. The measurement distance show significant differences in the frequency response: a change of 700 kHz is observed when the measurement is performed directly on the wireless chipless sensor between 20% and 80%RH, while this variation in frequency is reduced more than three times when measuring at the reader antenna with 5 mm distance between elements. Furthermore, we demonstrate the importance of the separation between reader and sensor to get a reliable measuring system.

A new tin perovskite material with green emission is investigated as a new scintillator for imaging readout. Temperature dependent measurements were studied to understand the mechanism and to improve the future lead-free scintillator.

In this paper, the domain wall (DW) nucleation time and the DW nucleation probability of field-coupled magnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are measured by experiment. A well-established Arrhenius model based on thermally activated magnetization reversal is applied to describe the time-dependent DW nucleation probability. Magneto-optical microscopy(MOKE) is used in the experiments to determine the DW nucleation time and the DW nucleation probability in a pNML inverter structure. The DW propagation speed is measured in order to calculate the required DW propagation time for entire magnetization reversal of pNML logic gates. Experimental results are compared to the derived model. Our results show that the interaction in pNML logic gates plays a significant role for the time-dependent DW nucleation probability and therefore for the reliability of field-coupled circuits.

Renewed interest has brought significant attention to tune coherently the electronic and optical properties of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) in recent years. Tailoring the intimate structure–property relationship is a primary target toward the advancement of light-harvesting technologies. These constructive progresses are expected to promote staggering endeavors within the solar cells community that needs to be revisited. Several considerations and strategies are introduced mainly to illustrate the importance of structural stability, interfacial alignment, and photo-generated carriers extraction across the perovskite heterostructures. Here, we review recent strides of such vast compelling diversity in order to shed some light on the interplay of the interfacial chemistry, photophysics, and light-emitting properties of HOIPs via molecular engineering or doping approach. In addition, we outline several fundamental knowledge processes across the role of charge transfer, charge carrier extraction, passivation agent, bandgap, and emission tunability at two-dimensional (2D) level of HOIPs/molecule heterointerfaces. An extensive range of the relevant work is illustrated to embrace new research directions for employing organic molecules as targeted active layer in perovskite-based devices. Ultimately, we address important insights related to the physical phenomena at the active molecules/perovskites interfaces that deserve careful considerations. This review specifically outlines a comprehensive overview of surface-based interactions that fundamentally challenges the delicate balance between organic materials and perovskites, which promotes bright future of desired practical applications.
