Quasi one-dimensional organic conductors: from Fröhlich conductivity and Peierls insulating state to magnetically-mediated superconductivity, a retrospective by Jerome, Denis, Bourbonnais, Claude

“…Since the discovery of true metal-like conduction in molecular compounds more than 50 years ago, it appeared that the chemical composition and the quasi one-dimensional crystalline structure of these conductors were determining factors for their physical properties; materials with incommensurate conduction band filling favoring the low-dimensional electron-phonon diverging channel and the establishment of the Peierls superstructure and more rarely superconductivity at low temperature, while those with commensurate band filling favor either magnetic insulating or superconducting states depending on the intensity of the coupling between conductive chains. …”

Silicon Powder-Based Wafers for Low-Cost Photovoltaics: Laser Treatments and Nanowire Etching by G. Jia, J. Plentz, A. Gawlik, A. S. Azar, G. Stokkan, M. Syvertsen, P. A. Carvalho, J. Dellith, A. Dellith, G. Andrä, A. Ulyashin

“…It is established that (i) Si powder-based wafers with thicknesses ~180 μm can be fully (from the front to back side) or partly (subsurface region) remelted by a diode laser and grain sizes in laser-treated regions can be increased; (ii) a high-quality top layer can be fabricated by crystallization of an additional a-Si layer deposited by e-beam evaporation on top of the pc-Si; and (iii) silicon nanowires can be formed by metal-assisted wet chemical etching (MAWCE) of polished Si powder-based wafers and as-cut wafers irradiated with medium laser power, while a surface texturing on the as-cut pc-Si wafers occur, and no nanowires can form in the region subject to a liquid phase crystallization (LPC) caused by high-power laser treatments.…”
