Two different models were presented: one proposing carrier trapping at grain boundaries and the second putting emphasis on the conformation and packing of the polymer chains in the thin layers for different molecular weights. Here, we present the results of detailed investigations of powders and thin films of deuterated P3HT fractions with different molecular weight. For powder samples, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the structure and crystallization behavior of the polymers. The GPC investigations show that all weight fractions possess a rather broad molecular weight distribution. DSC measurements reveal a strong decrease of the crystallization temperature and, most important, a significant decrease of the degree of crystallinity with decreasing molecular weight. To study the structure of thin layers in lateral and vertical directions, both transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray grazing incidence diffraction (GID) were utilized. These methods show that thin layers of the low molecular weight fraction consist of well-defined crystalline domains embedded in a disordered matrix. We propose that the transport properties of layers prepared from fractions of poly(3-hexylthiophene) with different molecular weight are largely determined by the crystallinity of the samples and not by the perfection of the packing of the chains in the individual crystallites}, language = {en} } @article{ZenBilgeGalbrechtetal.2006, author = {Zen, Achmad and Bilge, Askin and Galbrecht, Frank and Alle, Ronald and Meerholz, Klaus and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and Neher, Dieter and Scherf, Ullrich and Farrell, Tony}, title = {Solution processable organic field-effect transistors utilizing an alpha,alpha '-dihexylpentathiophene- based swivel cruciform}, doi = {10.1021/Ja0573357}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{ZeimerGrenzerPietschetal.2001, author = {Zeimer, Ute and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and Pietsch, Ullrich and Bugge, F. and Smirnitzki, V. and Weyers, Markus}, title = {Investigation of strain-modulated InGaAs-nanostructures by grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{ZeimerBuggeGramlichetal.2001, author = {Zeimer, Ute and Bugge, F. and Gramlich, S. and Smirnitzki, V. and Weyers, Markus and Tr{\"a}nkle, G. and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and Pietsch, Ullrich and Cassabois, G. and Emiliani, V. and Linau, Christoph}, title = {Evidence of strain-induced lateral carrier confinement in InGaAs-quantum wells by low-temperature near-field spectroscopy}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{ZeimerBuggeGramlichetal.2000, author = {Zeimer, Ute and Bugge, F. and Gramlich, S. and Smirnitzki, V. and Weyers, Markus and Tr{\"a}nkle, G. and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and Pietsch, Ullrich and Cassabois, G. and Emiliani, V. and Lienau, C.}, title = {Evidence for strain-induced lateral carrier confinement in InGaAs quantum wells by low-temperature near-field spectroscopy}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{ZeimerBaumbachGrenzeretal.1999, author = {Zeimer, Ute and Baumbach, Tilo and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and L{\"u}bbert, Daniel and Mazuelas, A. and Pietsch, Ullrich and Erbert, G.}, title = {In-situ characterization of strain distribution in broad-area high-power lasers under operation by high- resolution x-ray diffrcation and topography using synchrotron radiation}, year = {1999}, language = {en} } @article{UlyanenkovDarowskiGrenzeretal.1999, author = {Ulyanenkov, A. and Darowski, Nora and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and Pietsch, Ullrich and Wang, K.

The structure thus contains QW- and quantum-wire-like areas. At low excitation densities, photoluminescence (PL) transients from both areas are well described by a rate equation model for a three-level system with a saturable interlevel carrier transfer representing the lateral drift of carriers from the QW regions into the wires. Small-signal carrier lifetimes for QW, wires, and transfer time from QW to wire are 180, 190, and 28 ps, respectively. For high excitation densities the time constants of the observed transients increase, in agreement with the model. In addition, QW and wire PL lines merge indicating a smoothening of the potential difference, i.e., the effective carrier confinement caused by the stressor structure becomes weaker with increasing excitation.

The formation of ripple structure at high doses (similar to7x10(17) ions/cm(2)), starting from initiation at low doses (similar to1x10(17) ions/cm(2)) of ion beam, is evident from AFM, while that in the buried crystalline region below a partially crystalline top layer is evident from GID study. Such ripple structure of crystalline layers in a large area formed in the subsurface region of Si wafers is probed through a nondestructive technique. The GID technique reveals that these periodically modulated wavelike buried crystalline features become highly regular and strongly correlated as one increases the Ar ion-beam energy from 60 to 100 keV. The vertical density profile obtained from the analysis of a Vineyard profile shows that the density in the upper top part of ripples is decreased to about 15\% of the crystalline density.

The three-dimensional (3D) strain distribution within the lateral nanostructure is calculated using linear elasticity theory applying a finite element technique. Based on the deformation potential approach the calculated strain distribution is translated into a local variation of the band-gap energy. Using a given vertical layer structure we are able to optimize the geometrical parameters to provide a nanostructure with maximum lateral band-gap variation. Experimentally such a structure was realized by etching a surface grating into a tensile-strained InGaP stressor layer grown on top of a compressively strained InGaAs-single quantum well.

The evaluated depth distribution of defects within the implanted stripes corresponds to that obtained by TRIM calculation. The induced strain distribution, however, shows no periodicity.

By varying the reaction time and reaction temperature, it was possible to control precisely the particle size and crystalline phase of the UCNPs. The upconversion (UC) luminescence properties of the nanocrystals were tuned by varying the concentrations of the dopants (Nd3+ and Yb3+ sensitizer ions and Er3+ activator ions). The size and phase-purity of the as-synthesized core and core-shell nanocrystals were assessed by using complementary transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, and small-angle X-ray scattering studies. In-depth photophysical evaluation of the UCNPs was pursued by using steady-state and time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy.
