Photoemission Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy Investigation of Vapor Phase Co-Deposited Silver/Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Composites
L. Scudiero, Haoyan Wei, Hergen Eilers
Nanocomposite matrices of silver/poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) were prepared in ultrahigh vacuum through vapor-phase co-deposition. Change in microstructure, chemical nature and el…
Fluorescence lifetime modification in Eu:Lu2O3 nanoparticles in the presence of silver nanoparticles
Haoyan Wei, Zachary Cleary, Sang Park +2
Europium-doped lutetium-oxide (Eu:Lu2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized using a combustion technique and a co-precipitation technique, and their properties were compared. Surface-m…
Infrared and photoelectron spectroscopy study of vapor phase deposited poly (3-hexylthiophene)
Haoyan Wei, L. Scudiero, Hergen Eilers
Poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was thermally evaporated and deposited in vacuum. Infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm that the thin films were indeed P3HT, and showed that in-…
From Silver Nanoparticles to Thin Films: Evolution of Microstructure and Electrical Conduction
Haoyan Wei, Hergen Eilers
Silver nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric matrix are investigated for their potential as broadband-absorbing optical sensor materials. This contribution focuses on the electric…
Electrical Conductivity of Thin-Film Composites Containing Silver Nanoparticles Embedded in a Dielectric Teflon AF Matrix
Haoyan Wei, Hergen Eilers
Thin-film nanocomposites, consisting of silver nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric Teflon\textregistered AF matrix, were synthesized using vapor phase co-deposition. The electri…
