Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is certainly the most known and used conductive polymer because it commercially available shows great potential for organic electronic, photovoltaic, thermoelectric applications. Studies dedicated to PEDOT films have led high conductivity enhancements. However, an exhaustive understanding of mechanisms governing such enhancement still lacking, hindered by semicrystalline nature material itself.

In recent years, two-dimensional van der Waals materials have emerged as an important platform for the observation of long-range ferromagnetic order in atomically thin layers. Although heterostructures such can be conceived to harness and couple a wide range magneto-optical magneto-electrical properties, technologically relevant applications require Curie temperatures at or above room-temperature ability grow films over large areas. Here we demonstrate large-area growth single-crystal...
Van der Waals heterostructures have promised the realisation of artificial materials with multiple physical phenomena such as giant optical nonlinearities, spin-to-charge interconversion in spintronics and topological carrier protection, a single layered device through an infinitely diverse set quantum materials.

Graphene is the first engineering electronic material, which purely two-dimensional: it consists of two exposed sp2-hybridized carbon surfaces and has no bulk. Therefore, surface effects such as contamination by adsorbed polymer residues have a critical influence on its electrical properties can drastically hamper widespread use in devices fabrication. These contaminants, originating from mandatory technological processes graphene synthesis transfer, also impact fundamental studies...

Understanding how ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (metal core ∼1–1.5 nm), so-called nanoclusters (Au NCs), interact with biological barriers has become highly important for their future bioapplications. The properties of Au NCs tunable hydrophobicity were extensively characterized in three different situations: (i) interaction serum solution, (ii) synthetic free-standing lipid bilayers integrated a microfluidic device, and (iii) cell studies two types (U87MG human primary glioblastoma A375...
The properties of group III-Nitrides (III-N) such as a large direct bandgap, high melting point, and breakdown voltage make them very attractive for optoelectronic applications. However, conventional epitaxy on SiC sapphire substrates results in strained defective films with consequently poor device performance.
