Dye-Sensitized Nanocrystalline ZnO Solar Cells Based on Ruthenium(II) Phendione Complexes by Hashem Shahroosvand, Parisa Abbasi, Mohsen Ameri, Mohammad Reza Riahi Dehkordi

“…The AFM images clearly show both, the outgrowth of the complexes which are adsorbed on ZnO thin film and the depression of ZnO thin film. We have studied photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductor solar cells based on Ru phendione complexes, which gave power conversion efficiency of (η) of 1.54% under the standard AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW cm−2) with a short-circuit photocurrent density (𝐽sc) of 3.42 mA cm−2, an open-circuit photovoltage (𝑉oc) of 0.622 V, and a fill factor (ff) of 0.72. …”

Evidence for Proximity Effect in Superconductor–Organic Semiconductor–Superconductor Stacked Devices by Anna Kremen, Hagit Aviv, Yaakov Raphael Tischler, Amos Sharoni

“…Sputtering the SC directly on the polymer causes pinholes, which we prevent by ultra-slow deposition of a 5 nm aluminum film, before depositing the top SC in situ. The Al protects the organic film from damage and pinhole formation, while preserving SC in the top electrodes due to the proximity effect between Al and NbN. …”

STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT LUBRICATION STATES ON BENDING FATIGUE CHARACTERISTICS OF WIRE ROPE (MT) by WANG ShaoLei, WANG ZhanYing, LI Xin, LIANG JianMing, ZHU ChunHua

“…Under the same lubrication condition, the increase of tension force destroys the lubricating oil film between the wire rope and pulley groove on the one hand, on the other hand, under the action of compressive stress, the lubricating oil in the rope core is not easy to infiltrate into the side of the wire rope and pulley groove, which deteriorates the lubrication state.…”

Femmes et pornographes ? by Stéphanie Kunert

“…For this first issue of the revue, we interviewed four film-makers whose cinematographic art deconstructs the means and significations of pornography, representations of gender and sexuality.Emilie Jouvet, Maria Beatty, Catherine Corringer and Shue Lee Cheang express, in this interview, their vision of pornography, art and feminism.Wether their art is reclaimed as erotic, explicit or pornographic, they have in common a creative and somewhat “queer” approach of sexual representations.…”
