We report a tunable magnetoresistance by uniformly mixing strong-spin-orbital-coupling molecule fac-tris (2-phenylpyridinato) iridium $[\mathrm{Ir}(ppy{)}_{3}]$ and weak-spin-orbital-coupling polymer poly($N$-vinyl carbazole) (PVK). Three possible mechanisms, namely charge transport distribution, energy transfer, intermolecular spin-orbital interaction, are discussed to interpret the $\mathrm{Ir}(ppy{)}_{3}$ concentration-dependent in $\mathrm{PVK}+\mathrm{Ir}(ppy{)}_{3}$ composite. The...
Nanosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (ns-LIBS) is employed for quantitative local fuel-air (F/A) ratio (i.e., of actual fuel-to-oxidizer mass over at stoichiometry, measurements in well-characterized methane-air flames pressures 1-11 bar). We selected nitrogen and hydrogen atomic-emission lines 568 nm 656 nm, respectively, to establish a correlation between the line intensities F/A ratio. have investigated effects laser-pulse energy, camera gate delay, pressure on sensitivity,...

The electroluminescence suggests deposited atoms enhance at polymer/metal interface consequently lead dependent...
Magnetic nanoparticles of CoFe are used as dopants to enhance the quantum efficiency electroluminance in a single layer organic light emitting device (OLED). The enhancement increases with both increasing density and external magnetic field. For given OLED 0.1wt% doping, reaches ∼27% ∼32% without field, respectively. origin these improvements could be attributed simultaneous portion excitons among total charge carriers fraction singlets
We report the direct measurements of methyl radicals (CH(3)) in methane/air flames at atmospheric pressure by using coherent microwave Rayleigh scattering (Radar) from Resonance Enhanced Multi-Photon Ionization (REMPI), also known as Radar REMPI technique.
