Stability and noise current of a hybrid UV photodetector with inverted planar heterojunction (PHJ) structure indium-tin-oxide/ZnO nanoparticles (NPs)/poly[9,9-dioctyl-fluorene-2,7-diyl]-copoly[diphenyl-p-tolyl-amine-4,4-diyl] (BFE)/Ag are investigated. ZnO NPs as the acceptor and BFE as the donor were deposited as the active layer. Under UV light illumination, light to dark current ratio of about 10(2) is observed at a very low bias voltage of -1.5 V. The spectral response of the device is located near UV region with a maximum responsivity of similar to 57 mA/W at wavelength of 350 nm. In particular, the prepared device exhibits remarkably higher photoresponse (similar to 350%) and stability (similar to 115%) enhancement under ambient condition compared to the reference device. In addition, the presented results show that the noise current of our device with PHJ structure is about an order of magnitude lower than that of commonly used bulk heterojunction system.

Low frequency magnetic resonance conductivity imaging by means of oscillating gradient fields
Eroğlu, Hasan Hüseyin; Sadighi, Mehdi; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (null; 2018-06-16)
Recently, low frequency (LF) magnetic resonance electrical conductivity imaging by means of oscillating gradient fields is reported to be infeasible. In thesestudies, LF phase measurements are modeled with radio frequency (RF) leakage due to geometric shifts in MR images. Although RF leakage is related withconductivity, we have not come across a conductivity image reconstructed using this model. In this study, LF conductivity imaging is evaluated for an MRIpulse sequence including multiple gradient pulses. ...
Low loss optical waveguides and polarization splitters utilizing oxidized AlxGa1-xAs layers
Bek, Alpan; Champlain, J.G.; Naone, R.; Dagli, N. (1998-12-01)
The application of oxidized AlxGa1-xAs in guided wave optics is demonstrated. A low index of refraction of oxidized AlxGa1-xAs is utilized for stronger optical confinement to reduce electrode related losses and to increase birefringence in polarization splitting directional couplers.
Low-frequency conductivity tensor imaging with a single current injection using DT-MREIT
Sadighi, Mehdi; Şişman, Mert; Acikgoz, Berk C.; Eroglu, Hasan H.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2021-03-01)
Diffusion tensor-magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (DT-MREIT) is an imaging modality to obtain low-frequency anisotropic conductivity distribution employing diffusion tensor imaging and MREIT techniques. DT-MREIT is based on the linear relationship between the conductivity and water self-diffusion tensors in a porous medium, like the brain white matter. Several DT-MREIT studies in the literature provide cross-sectional anisotropic conductivity images of tissue phantoms, canine brain, and th...

Low temperature excitation transfer in the FMO complex. Simulations.
Iseri, EI; Gulen, D (1998-08-22)
Electronic excited state (EES) models for the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) antenna complex of the green bacterium P. aestuarii have generally been based on obtaining an optimal match between the information contents of the optical steady-state spectra and the molecular organization [1-4]. Recent spectral and kinetic information gathered from probing the excited state processes through ultrafast measurements [5-7] have not yet been used effectively for further refinement of the EES and for quantification of th...
