Injection-limited and space charge-limited currents in organic semiconductor devices with nanopatterned metal electrodes

Janek Buhl et al.

Summary: Nanopatterned electrodes can overcome charge injection limitations at metal-organic interfaces by locally enhancing the electric field, leading to locally space charge-limited currents. Experimental and simulation results show that the currents in nanopatterned devices are dominated by space charge effects, overcoming the charge injection limitations observed in planar devices.

Evolution of Shore Hardness under Uniaxial Tension/Compression in Body-Temperature Programmable Elastic Shape Memory Hybrids

Balasundaram Selvan Naveen et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the evolution of shore hardness in body-temperature programmable elastic shape memory hybrids (SMHs) upon cyclic loading and during the shape memory cycle. It is found that significant softening occurs upon cyclic loading, similar to the Mullins effect. After programming, the measured hardness generally increases with an increase in programming strain. However, in certain cases, the hardness decreases slightly and then rapidly increases, which can be explained by the formation of micro-gaps between the inclusion and the matrix after programming. Heating the samples melts the inclusions and largely recovers their original hardness.
