Where-as computer software assists human experts in the assignment of sleep stages to polysomnogram epochs, their performance is usually insufficient. This study evaluates the possibility to fully automatize sleep staging considering the reliability of the sleep stages available from human expert sleep scorers. Methods: We obtain features from EEG, ECG and respiratory signals of polysomnograms from ten healthy subjects. Using the sleep stages provided by three human experts, we evaluate the performance of linear discriminant analysis on the entire polysomnogram and:only on epochs where the three experts agree in their-sleep stage scoring. Results: We show that in polysomnogram intervals, to which all three scorers assign the same sleep stage, our algorithm achieves 90\% accuracy. This high rate of agreement with the human experts is accomplished with only a small set of three frequency features from the EEG. We increase-the performance to 93\% by including ECG and respiration features. In contrast, on intervals of ambiguous sleep stage, the sleep stage classification obtained from our algorithm, agrees with the human consensus scorer in approximately 61\%. Conclusions: These findings suggest that machine classification is highly consistent with human sleep staging and that error in the algorithm's assignments is rather a problem of lack of well-defined criteria for human experts to judge certain polysomnogram epochs than an insufficiency of computational procedures}, language = {en} } @article{HoermannZeiskePiersimonietal.2018, author = {H{\"o}rmann, Ulrich and Zeiske, Stefan and Piersimoni, Fortunato and Hoffmann, Lukas and Schlesinger, Raphael and Koch, Norbert and Riedl, Thomas and Andrienko, Denis and Neher, Dieter}, title = {Stark effect of hybrid charge transfer states at planar ZnO/organic interfaces}, series = {Physical review : B, Condensed matter and materials physics}, volume = {98}, journal = {Physical review : B, Condensed matter and materials physics}, number = {15}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, address = {College Park}, issn = {2469-9950}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.98.155312}, pages = {9}, year = {2018}, abstract = {We investigate the bias dependence of the hybrid charge transfer state emission at planar heterojunctions between the metal oxide acceptor ZnO and three donor molecules. The electroluminescence peak energy linearly increases with the applied bias, saturating at high fields. Variation of the organic layer thickness and deliberate change of the ZnO conductivity through controlled photodoping allow us to confirm that this bias-induced spectral shift relates to the internal electric field in the organic layer rather than the filling of states at the hybrid interface. We show that existing continuum models overestimate the hole delocalization and propose a simple electrostatic model in which the linear and quadratic Stark effects are explained by the electrostatic interaction of a strongly polarizable molecular cation with its mirror image.}, language = {en} } @article{BrinkmannBeckerZimmermannetal.2022, author = {Brinkmann, Kai Oliver and Becker, Tim and Zimmermann, Florian and Kreusel, Cedric and Gahlmann, Tobias and Theisen, Manuel and Haeger, Tobias and Olthof, Selina and T{\"u}ckmantel, Christian and G{\"u}nster, M. and Maschwitz, Timo and G{\"o}belsmann, Fabian and Koch, Christine and Hertel, Dirk and Caprioglio, Pietro and Pe{\~n}a-Camargo, Francisco and Perdig{\´o}n-Toro, Lorena and Al-Ashouri, Amran and Merten, Lena and Hinderhofer, Alexander and Gomell, Leonie and Zhang, Siyuan and Schreiber, Frank and Albrecht, Steve and Meerholz, Klaus and Neher, Dieter and Stolterfoht, Martin and Riedl, Thomas}, title = {Perovskite-organic tandem solar cells with indium oxide interconnect}, series = {Nature}, volume = {604}, journal = {Nature}, number = {7905}, publisher = {Nature Research}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0028-0836}, doi = {10.1038/s41586-022-04455-0}, pages = {280 -- 286}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Multijunction solar cells can overcome the fundamental efficiency limits of single-junction devices. The bandgap tunability of metal halide perovskite solar cells renders them attractive for multijunction architectures(1). Combinations with silicon and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), as well as all-perovskite tandem cells, have been reported(2-5). Meanwhile, narrow-gap non-fullerene acceptors have unlocked skyrocketing efficiencies for organic solar cells(6,7). Organic and perovskite semiconductors are an attractive combination, sharing similar processing technologies. Currently, perovskite-organic tandems show subpar efficiencies and are limited by the low open-circuit voltage (V-oc) of wide-gap perovskite cells(8) and losses introduced by the interconnect between the subcells(9,10). Here we demonstrate perovskite-organic tandem cells with an efficiency of 24.0 per cent (certified 23.1 per cent) and a high V-oc of 2.15 volts. Optimized charge extraction layers afford perovskite subcells with an outstanding combination of high V-oc and fill factor. The organic subcells provide a high external quantum efficiency in the near-infrared and, in contrast to paradigmatic concerns about limited photostability of non-fullerene cells(11), show an outstanding operational stability if excitons are predominantly generated on the non-fullerene acceptor, which is the case in our tandems. The subcells are connected by an ultrathin (approximately 1.5 nanometres) metal-like indium oxide layer with unprecedented low optical/electrical losses. This work sets a milestone for perovskite-organic tandems, which outperform the best p-i-n perovskite single junctions(12) and are on a par with perovskite-CIGS and all-perovskite multijunctions(13).}, language = {en} }
