Improved Efficiency of Flexible Organic Light-Emitting Diodes by Insertion of Ultrathin SiO2 Buffer Layers by Chien-Jung Huang, Kan-Lin Chen, Po-Wen Sze, Wen-Ray Chen, Teen-Hang Meen, Shi-Lun Wu

“…Compared to the different thicknesses of the buffer layer, the FOLED with the buffer layer of 4 nm showed the highest luminous efficiency. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation of indium tin oxide (ITO)/SiO2 topography reveals changes at the interface between SiO2 and N,N′-bis-(1-naphthl)-diphenyl-1,1′-bipheny-4,4′-diamine (NPB), resulting in ultrathin SiO2 layers being a clear advantage for a FOLED. …”

Molecular Dynamics Simulation to Understand the Ability of Anionic Polymers to Alter the Morphology of Calcite by Insil Choi, Il Won Kim

“…The extent of the charge imbalance on the surfaces appeared responsible for the current results, which originated from the deficient number of the coordinating oxygen atoms of carbonate around the surface calcium. The results of the current study were in accordance with the previous experimental observations, where the {hk0} surfaces of calcite were elongated under the coexistence of the anionic polymers and magnesium ions. …”
