Designing Contact Independent High-Performance Low-Cost Flexible Electronics.

Organic semiconductors enable low-cost solution processing of optoelectronic devices on flexible substrates. Their use in contemporary applications, however, is sparse due to persistent challenges in achieving the requisite performance levels in a reliable and reproducible manner. A critical bottleneck is the inefficiency associated with charge injection. Here, large-scale simulations are employed to identify operational windows where key device parameters that are difficult to control experimentally, such as the contact resistance, become less consequential to overall device functionality. This design methodology overcomes injection barrier limitations in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), leading to high charge carrier mobility and significantly expanding the range of suitable electrode materials. Leveraging this new understanding, all-organic, solution-deposited OFETs are successfully fabricated on flexible substrates. These devices incorporate printed contacts and showcase mobilities exceeding 5cm2Vs-1. These results provide a route for accessing the fundamental limits of material properties even in the absence of ideal contacts - a critical step in establishing reliable structure/property relationships and optimal material design paradigms. While reducing the injection barrier and contact resistance remains critical for achieving high OFET performance, this work demonstrates a path toward consistently achieving high charge carrier mobility through device geometry design, ultimately reducing processing complexity and cost.

Effect of Epoxy Conductive Adhesive on Film Deformation During the Thermoforming Process for In‐Mold Electronic Devices

AbstractIn‐Mold Electronics (IME) is an innovative technology that allows the creation of 3D‐shaped electronic surfaces by combining printed electronics and In‐Mold Decoration (IMD). During the manufacturing process, the materials that integrate these devices, such as adhesive, must endure the transformation conditions of thermoforming. However, the adhesive rigidity may influence the deformation of the film during this process. In this study, both printed and hybridized samples are compared regarding their stretching and thickness reduction during the thermoforming process. The results indicate that the deformation of the hybridized samples differs from the printed ones, resulting in less stretching in areas near the adhesive, with stretching increasing as it steps away from where it is deposited. Thickness values are also affected, being greater around the adhesive and decreasing farther away. Therefore, the presence of the adhesive significantly impacts the behavior of the film during processing, a factor that must be considered in the design of IME devices to maximize the number of functional devices.

Safety of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) represents the diagnostic image modality of choice in several conditions. With an increasing number of patients requiring MRI for diagnostic purposes, the issue of safety in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) undergoing this imaging modality will play an ever more important role. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and device function following MRI in an unrestricted real-world cohort of patients with a wide array of cardiac devices. We conducted a retrospective single-center study including 1010 MRI studies conducted in adult patients (≥18 years) with an implanted CIED treated in the University Hospital of Munich (LMU) between July 2012 and March 2024. Patients with non-MR conditionally labeled leads, abandoned or epicardial leads, as well as lead fragments, were included for analysis. Across a total of 1010 MRIs (920 total MR-conditional device generators) performed in patients with an implanted CIED, there were no deaths, reports of discomfort, palpitations, heating, or ventricular arrythmias in the 24 h following MRI. Only 2/1010 MRIs were followed by a reported atrial arrhythmia within 24 h, both in patients with an MR-conditional pacemaker (PM) device without an abandoned lead. No significant changes in device function following MRI from baseline were observed across all included CIEDs. Lastly, no instances of severe malfunction, such as generator failure, loss of capture, electrical reset, or inappropriate inhibition of pacing, were found in post-MRI interrogation reports across all MRI studies. Based on the analysis of 1010 MRIs undergone by patients with CIEDs, following standardized device interrogation, manufacturer-advised device programming, monitoring of vital function, and manufacturer-advised reprogramming, MRI can be performed safely and without adverse events or changes in device function.

The Influence of Thickness and Spectral Properties of Green Color-Emitting Polymer Thin Films on Their Implementation in Wearable PLED Applications.

A systematic investigation of optical, electrochemical, photophysical, and electrooptical properties of printable green color-emitting polymer (poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-bithiophene)) (F8T2) and spiro-copolymer (SPG-01T) was conducted to explore their potentiality as an emissive layer for wearable polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) applications. We compared the two photoactive polymers in terms of their spectral characteristics and color purity, as these are the most critical factors for wearable lighting sources and optical sensors. Low-cost, solution-based methods and facile architecture were applied to produce rigid and flexible light-emitting devices with high luminance efficiencies. Emission bandwidths, color coordinates, operational characteristics, and luminance were also derived to evaluate the device's stability. The tuning of emission's spectral features by layer thickness variation was realized and was correlated with the interplay between H-aggregates and J-aggregates formations for both conjugated polymers. Finally, we applied the functional green light-emitting PLED devices based on the two studied materials for the detection of Rhodamine 6G. It was determined that the optical detection of the R6G photoluminescence is heavily influenced by the emission spectrum characteristics of the PLED and changes in the thickness of the active layer.

Sensor technology advancement enhancing exhaled breath portability: Device set up and pilot test in the longitudinal study of lung cancer

User-friendliness of exhaled breath sampling procedure and portability of the collected samples are strategic key-points for disease monitoring in unstructured environments. These issues have been addressed by collecting exhaled breath on adsorbing cartridges; many samplers on cartridge have been used in clinical experiments through exhalate collection, including our patented Pneumopipe (European patent 12425057.2). Increasing the operative functionality of the sampling device enhances collection effectiveness and the representativity of the specimen. These features become of paramount importance when a minimal amount of disease needs to be detected with preventive approach in screening and follow-up. The primary endpoint was aimed at achieving Pneumopipe optimization (Pneumopipe II). The secondary endpoint was to investigate through a pilot longitudinal study focused on monitoring recurrence after lung cancer surgical resection and the evolution of the breath fingerprint before and after surgery. A quartz crystal-based gas sensor array, named BIONOTE-V was used to measure the breath fingerprint. Cross-validated Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis and Principal component analysis were used to study the time evolution of the breath fingerprint before and after surgery. Thirty-five patients had the breath fingerprint collected before and after surgery, with fifteen having at least two more measurements for each timepoint (at least two before and two after surgery). (Primary endpoint) At isoprene lab tests, Pneumopipe has shown to preserve its effectiveness in collecting volatile mixture in a representative sample. (Secondary endpoint) Cancer recurrence was observed in 8 patients. Postoperative breath fingerprint detected lung cancer recurrence with an accuracy of 91 %, a sensitivity of 75 %, a specificity of 96 %, a PPV of 86 % and a NPV of 93 %. Effectiveness of exhalate collection and portability of the sampler are preserved with Pneumopipe II.

Multi-Bioinspired Fog Harvesting Structure with Asymmetric Surface for Hydrogen Revolution.

The urgent need for sustainable energy storage drives the fast development of diverse hydrogen production based on clean water resources. Herein, a unique type of multi-bioinspired functional device (MFD) is reported with asymmetric wettability that combines the curvature gradient of cactus spines, the wetting gradient of lotus, and the slippery surface of Nepenthes alata for efficient fog harvesting. The precisely printed MFDs with microscale features, spanning dimensions, and a thin wall are endowed with asymmetric wettability to enable the Janus effects on their surfaces. Fog condenses on the superhydrophobic surface of the MFDs in the form of microdroplets and unidirectionally penetrates its interior due to the Janus effects, and drops onto the designated area with a better fog harvesting rate of 10.64gcm-2 h-1. Most significantly, the collected clean water can be used for hydrogen production with excellent stability and durability. The findings demonstrate that safe, large-scale, high-performance water splitting and gas separation and collection with fog collection based on MFDs are possible.

Mechanisms of nodule formation on Ni-Pt targets during sputtering

Ni-Pt alloys are employed in the formation of Ni-Pt silicide to facilitate contact and interconnection functions in semiconductor devices. However, the formation of nodules on the Ni-Pt target during sputtering results in a reduced deposition rate and abnormal discharge, significantly impacting the film quality. This study investigates the nodule formation mechanism on the surface of Ni-Pt targets during sputtering, utilizing field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The findings reveal that defects and inclusion areas in the target exhibit a slower sputtering rate compared to normal areas, ultimately leading to nodule formation. Notably, platinum-rich layers were observed on the surfaces of nodules, particularly those exceeding a height of 100 μm. The variations in target surface concentration, angular distribution, and sputter yield of Ni and Pt atoms, coupled with the blocking effect of the lateral areas of nodules, contribute to the formation and compositional variation of the Pt-rich layers on the nodule surfaces.

Highly stretchable and mechanically robust copolymer-based strain-engineered substrate for wearable electronics

The challenge of integrating electronic components into soft substrates to consolidate diverse device functionalities into a single wearable unit impedes the advancement and application of emerging soft and stretchable electronics. This is primarily due to the tendency of rigid components to be detached from deformable substrates under mechanical stress such as repetitive stretching, due to significant differences in the elastic modulus of dissimilar materials. Therefore, it is essential to employ strategies that prevent electrical and mechanical failures when incorporating rigid components into stretchable systems. To address this issue, stiff islands of a copolymer were incorporated into a soft copolymer substrate, ensuring stable interfaces between rigid and stretchable regions. In this work, polyimide-siloxane copolymers with adjustable compositions of hard and soft blocks with mechanical modulus tuneability were employed to fabricate a strain-engineered substrate (SES). The resulting SES demonstrated exceptional strain shielding properties, preventing electronic components from being detached under strain levels of up to 266%. This substrate, engineered to endure strain, exhibited a resistance variation of less than 4% for the gold electrode on it when stretched cyclically up to 5000 cycles at 15% strain. A stretchable supercapacitor and triboelectric sensor with high stability could be fabricated on the SES. The SES enabled a robust interface capable of mitigating local strain on rigid components while preserving the stretchability of the soft substrates, which helps prevent potential damage to the rigid components. By alleviating the issues of unstable interfaces and mechanical and electrical failure, our approach of the SES has great potential in wearable electronics.

Enhanced neural activity detection with microelectrode arrays modified by drug-loaded calcium alginate/chitosan hydrogel

Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are pivotal brain-machine interface devices that facilitate in situ and real-time detection of neurophysiological signals and neurotransmitter data within the brain. These capabilities are essential for understanding neural system functions, treating brain disorders, and developing advanced brain-machine interfaces. To enhance the performance of MEAs, this study developed a crosslinked hydrogel coating of calcium alginate (CA) and chitosan (CS) loaded with the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP). By modifying the MEAs with this hydrogel and various conductive nanomaterials, including platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS), the electrical properties and biocompatibility of the electrodes were optimized. The hydrogel coating matches the mechanical properties of brain tissue more effectively and, by actively releasing anti-inflammatory drugs, significantly reduces post-implantation tissue inflammation, extends the electrodes' lifespan, and enhances the quality of neural activity detection. Additionally, this modification ensures high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of dopamine (DA), displaying high-quality dual-mode neural activity during in vivo testing and revealing significant functional differences between neuron types under various physiological states (anesthetized and awake). Overall, this study showcases the significant application value of bioactive hydrogels as excellent nanobiointerfaces and drug delivery carriers for long-term neural monitoring. This approach has the potential to enhance the functionality and acceptance of brain-machine interface devices in medical practice and has profound implications for future neuroscience research and the development of strategies for treating neurological diseases.

4D-printed shape-programmable [H+]-responsive needles for determination of urea

Four-dimensional printing (4DP) technologies are revolutionizing the fabrication, functionality, and applicability of stimuli-responsive analytical devices. More practically, 4DP technologies are effective in fabricating devices with complex geometric designs and functions, and the degree of shape programming of 4D-printed stimuli-responsive devices can be optimized to become a reliable analytical strategy. Although shape-programming modes play a critical role in determining the analytical characteristics of 4D-printed stimuli-responsive sensing devices, the effect of shape-programming modes on the analytical performance of 4D-printed stimuli-responsive devices remains an unexplored subject. We employed digital light processing three-dimensional printing (3DP) with acrylate-based photocurable resins and 2-carboxyethyl acrylate (CEA)-incorporated photocurable resins for 4DP of the bending, helixing, and twisting needles. Upon immersion in samples with pH values above the pKa of CEA, the electrostatic repulsion among the dissociated carboxyl groups of polyCEA caused swelling of the CEA-incorporated part and [H+]-dependent shape programming. When coupling with the derivatization reaction of the urease-mediated hydrolysis of urea, the decline in [H+] induced shape programming of the needles, offering reliable determination of urea based on the shape-programming angles. After optimizing the experimental conditions, the helixing needles provided the best analytical performance, with the method's detection limit of 0.9 μM. The reliability of this analytical method was validated by determining urea in samples of human urine and sweat, fetal bovine serum, and rat plasma with spike analyses and comparing these results with those obtained from a commercial assay kit. Our demonstration and analytical results suggest the importance of optimizing the shape-programming modes to improve the analytical performance of 4D-printed stimuli-responsive shape-programming sensing devices and emphasize the benefits and applicability of 4DP technologies in advancing the development and fabrication of stimuli-responsive sensing devices for chemical sensing and quantitative chemical analyses.

Fine-Scale Aerosol-Jet Printing of Luminescent Metal-Organic Framework Nanosheets.

Fabrication of metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films is an ongoing challenge to achieve effective device integration. Inkjet printing has been employed to print various luminescent metal-organic framework (MOF) films. Luminescent metal-organic nanosheets (LMONs), nanometer-thin particles of MOF materials with comparatively large micrometer lateral dimensions, provide an ideal morphology that offers enhancements over analogous MOFs in luminescent properties such as intensity and photoluminescent quantum yield. The morphology is also better suited to the formation of thin films. This work harnesses the preferential features of LMONs to access the advanced technique of aerosol-jet printing (AJP) to print luminescent films with precise geometries and patterns across the micrometer and centimeter length scales. AJP of LMONs exhibiting red (R), green (G), and blue (B) emission were studied systematically to reveal the increase of luminescence upon additive layering printing until a threshold was reached limited by self-quenching. By combining different LMON emitters, emission chromaticity and intensity were shown to be tunable, including the combination of RGB emitters to fabricate white-light-emitting films. A white-light LMON film was printed onto a UV light emitting diode (LED), producing a working white-light-emitting diode. Printing with multiple distinct photoluminescent inks produced intricate multicolor patterns that dynamically responded to excitation wavelength, acting either as micrometer-scale LED-type cells or larger visual tags. Collectively, the work offers an advancement for MOF thin films by printing MON materials using AJP, offering a precise method for manufacturing a wide range of critical functional devices, from luminescent sensors to optoelectronics, and more broadly even the opportunity for printed circuitry with conductive MONs.

Manipulation of topological antichiral edge states by inducing valley-chirality coupling.

Benefiting from the non-uniform assigning on the sublattices A and B in a modified Haldane model, the reductions of both spatial inversion and time-reversal symmetries can be induced to implement the competition of valley and chirality, which provide us a new, to the best of our knowledge, means to manipulate the topological antichiral edge states (ACEs). An implementation method for harnessing ACEs in a two-dimensional gyromagnetic photonic crystal (PC) has been proposed, which reveals that the opposite magnetization applied in the cylinders of sublattices A and B can generate the ACEs, and the valley Hall phase induced by dimerization of the structure further manipulates the edge states. Moreover, we found that the one-way dual transport channels of the ACEs can be transformed from both upper and lower zigzag edges into only one channel due to the propagating direction mismatched in the gyromagnetic PC heterojunction structure. Our research enriches the understanding of antichiral one-way transport states and offers useful insights and routines to design novel topological electromagnetic and optical functional devices.

Stiffness and Interface Engineered Soft Electronics with Large-Scale Robust Deformability.

Skin-like stretchable electronics emerge as promising human-machine interfaces but are challenged by the paradox between superior electronic property and reliable mechanical deformability. Here, a general strategy is reported for establishing robust large-scale deformable electronics by effectively isolating strains and strengthening interfaces. A copolymer substrate is designed to consist of mosaic stiff and elastic areas with nearly four orders of magnitudes modulus contrast and cross-linked interfaces. Electronic functional devices and stretchable liquid metal (LM) interconnects are conformally attached at the stiff and elastic areas, respectively, through hydrogen bonds. As a result, functional devices are completely isolated from strains, and resistances of LM conductors change by less than one time when the substrate is deformed by up to 550%. By this strategy, solar cells, wireless charging antenna, supercapacitors, and light-emitting diodes are integrated into a self-powered electronic skin that can laminate on the human body and exhibit stable performances during repeated multimode deformations, demonstrating an efficient path for realizing highly deformable energy autonomous soft electronics.

Characterization of a four-channel surface plasmon polaritons emitter based on a combined grooves coupling structure using photoemission electron microscopy

In various functional devices relying on femtosecond surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), actively controlling the propagation direction of the SPPs field is crucial for designing plasmon-based functional devices. This capability is particularly valuable in optical logic circuits and optical communication systems. In this study, we employed photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) to conduct near-field imaging of the SPPs field generated by a novel combination of wide and narrow grooves etched on a flat silver film. Experimental results revealed that femtosecond SPPs fields excited by laser pulses with different linear polarizations (±45°) can be emitted in four distinct directions, showcasing the combined groove structure's potential as a four-channel SPPs emitter. Additionally, Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations were utilized to model the time evolution envelope of SPPs modes excited by groove coupling structures irradiated with laser pulses of varying polarization directions. The physical mechanism behind the combined groove structures as a four-channel SPPs emitter was thoroughly analyzed, and the experimental findings closely aligned with the FDTD simulation results. This research is of significant importance for advancing novel ultra-fast micro-nano optoelectronic devices with exceptional properties and for constructing ultra-fast information processing systems in plasmonics nanocircuits.

Review on Grounds state Hanle effect on paraffin coated alkali atoms under condition EIT and EIA

IntroductionThis review is specifically aimed at a higher level of understanding of the ground-state Hanle effect through novel methods of atomic vapor interaction with resonant light. Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) and absorption (EIA) are the primary phenomena in this context. EIT is a process in which destructive interference at absorption frequencies within a medium is caused by a control laser and makes the medium clear to the probe laser light. It should be noted that this transparency is crucial for turning on/off the light pulses, slowing down or stopping in several cases, thus enhancing the effectiveness of atomic magnetometers. However, constructive interference that occurs in EIA raises the density of the medium, which is advantageous for profit-making precise measurements and the improvement of atomic clocks. ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to review the fundamental principles of the Hanle effect, EIT, EIA, and coating methods for alkali atoms. These principles and techniques are critical for improving the sensitivity and functionality of atomic magnetometers and other quantum devices. By understanding and leveraging these phenomena, significant progress has been made in the development of high-precision measurement tools and quantum technologies. ResultsAdvancements in atomic magnetometer sensitivity represent a rapidly growing area of interest, driving significant progress in the development of quantum devices. This review consolidates the existing knowledge and recent findings, offering a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and practical applications of the Hanle effect, EIT, EIA, and coating methods for alkali atoms. This review highlights how advancements in EIT and EIA have contributed to the sensitivity improvements of atomic magnetometers, and underscores the importance of coating methods for maintaining system integrity and performance. These developments are essential to the evolution of modern quantum technologies and precision measurement devices.

Optimization of fast-ion diagnostic sets in tokamaks and stellarators using diagnostic weight functions.

The fast-ion phase-space distribution function in the magnetic fusion devices is always underdiagnosed, and every new fast-ion diagnostic should be carefully assessed before installation to minimize redundancies in measurements and maximize the information from the yet undiagnosed part of the fast-ion phase space distribution function. Here, we present a novel method of assessing the added value of a considered fast-ion diagnostic, taking actual geometry and an existing set of fast-ion diagnostics into account. The new method is based on a reformulation of the diagnostic weight functions in constants of motion (COM). We compare the proposed method with the previous approach using Monte Carlo simulations.

Development of a novel concentrated solar-powered material extrusion system for producing printed circuit assemblies

A novel material extrusion system powered by Concentrated Solar Energy (CSE) for functional small-scale applications is proposed. The open literature has reported that any other system employs CSE to heat the extruding needle directly, which is the main component and function of any material extrusion device and the one that allows the building of the desired product or prototype. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is selected as the depositing material that gives shape to the substrates sheltering electric traces, resulting in a printed circuit assembly (PCA). A set of 15 experiments with different shapes allows the compilation of enough data to identify the exposure time and the direct radiation received as the main variables for obtaining the needed temperature for converting the depositing material to its rubbery state. Examples of functional circuits obtained by this device are included, showing his capabilities and potential. This information and the help of simulations on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software allow finding an expression of the material temperature at the depositing needle's exit as a function of the abovementioned variables. The obtained function describes the experimental equipment's behavior and has an average relative error of 12.6 % compared with the measured material's temperature at the depositing needle's exit. This proposal is expected to summarize the evidence of the CSE's potential for powering some manufacturing systems to obtain consumer goods and that a melt casting system mainly powered by CSE will be plausible shortly.

Ultrafast Laser Manipulation of In-Lattice Plasmonic Nanoparticles.

Plasmonic nanoparticles enable manipulation and enhancement of light fields at deep subwavelength scales, leading to structures and devices for diverse applications in optics. Despite hybrid plasmonic materials display remarkable optical properties due to interactions between components in nanoproximity, scalable production of plasmonic nanostructures within a single-crystalline matrix to achieve an ideal plasmon-crystal interface remains challenging. Here, a novel approach is presented to realize efficient manipulation of in-lattice plasmonic nanoparticles. Employing ultrafast-laser-driven plasmonic nanolithography, metallic nanoparticles with controllable morphology are precisely defined in the crystalline lattice of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystal. Through direct ion implantation, hybrid plasmonic material composed of nanoparticles embedded in a sub-surface amorphous YAG layer is created. Subsequently, femtosecond laser pulses guide formation and reshaping of plasmonic nanoparticles from the amorphous layer into the single-crystalline matrix along direction of light propagation, facilitated by a plasmon-mediated evolution of laser energy deposition. By tailoring resonance modes and optimizing the coupling between structured particle assemblies, a range of applications including polarization-dependent absorption and nonlinearity, controllable photoluminescence, and structural color generation is demonstrated. This research introduces a new approach for fabricating advanced optical materials featuring in-lattice plasmonic nanostructures, paving the way for the development of diverse functional photonic devices.
