An effective method for depositing highly transparent and conductive ultrathin silver (Ag) electrodes using minimal oxidation is reported. The of Ag layers significantly improves the intrinsic optical structural properties without any degradation its electrical conductivity. Oxygen‐doped (AgO x ) thicknesses as low 6 nm exhibit completely 2D continuous morphologies on ZnO films, smaller reflections absorbances, sheet resistances compared with those discontinuous granular‐type same thickness....
Abstract Advances in flexible optoelectronic devices have led to an increasing need for developing highly efficient, low-cost, transparent conducting electrodes. Copper-based electrodes been unattainable due the relatively low optical transmission and poor oxidation resistance of copper. Here, we report synthesis a completely continuous, smooth copper ultra-thin film via limited with trace amount oxygen. The weakly oxidized thin sandwiched between zinc oxide films exhibits good...
Copper has attracted significant interests as an abundant and low‐cost alternative material for flexible transparent conducting electrodes (FTCEs). However, Cu‐based FTCEs still present unsolved technical issues, such their inferior light transmittance oxidation durability compared to conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) silver metal electrodes.

Improving the wetting ability of Ag on chemically heterogeneous oxides is technically important to fabricate ultrathin, continuous films that would facilitate minimization optical and electrical losses develop qualified transparent film electrodes in state-of-the-art optoelectronic devices. This goal has yet be attained, however, because conventional techniques improve based metallic layers are restricted by serious from layers. Herein, we report a simple effective technique partial...
GaAs nanowires were epitaxially grown on Si(001) and Si(111) substrates by using Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth in a solid source molecular beam epitaxy system.

The development of highly efficient flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) supported on polymer substrates is great importance to the realization portable and bendable photovoltaic devices. Highly conductive, low-cost Cu has attracted attention as a promising alternative for replacing expensive indium tin oxide (ITO) Ag. However, efficient, Cu-based FTEs are currently unavailable because absence an means attaining atomically thin, completely continuous film that simultaneously exhibits...
Thermodynamically stable stoichiometric and higher oxidation states are known to be detrimental the electrical optical performances of Ag electrodes. In contrast, thermodynamically less or unstable suboxidation entailing extreme O deficiencies scarcely understood because tenuous null trace in suboxidized domains is difficult detect. This paper presents an experimental confirmation numerical interpretation Ag-layered electrodes influences post-growth reduction on their optoelectrical...
Controlling the shape and crystallography of nanocrystals during early growth stages a noble metal layer is important because its correlation with final morphology optoelectrical features, but this task unattainable in vapor deposition processes dominated by artificially uncontrollable thermodynamic free energies. We report on experimental evidence for controllable evolution Ag as induced addition nitrogen, presumed to be nonresidual lattice given strong float-out behavior. This atypical...
Artificially designing the crystal orientation and facets of noble metal nanoparticles is important to realize unique chemical physical features that are very different from those metals in bulk geometries. However, relative their counterparts synthesized wet-chemical processes, vapor-depositing with desired crystallographic while avoiding any notable impurities quite challenging because this task requires breaking away thermodynamically favorable geometry nanoparticles. We used...

For the management of hilar malignant biliary obstruction (HMBO), endoscopic drainage (EBD) is preferred over percutaneous transhepatic (PTBD) because its convenience. However, there no established guideline for that requires multiple stenting. In this study, we compared efficacy bilateral metal stents (BMS) versus plastic (MPS).In retrospective analyzed 102 patients who underwent EBD with either BMS or MPS due to HMBO caused by cholangiocarcinoma between 1996 and 2018 at Samsung Medical...
The desire to enhance the efficiency of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) has driven investigation advanced materials with fascinating properties. In this work, top-emission OLEDs (TEOLEDs) is enhanced by introducing ampicillin microstructures (Amp-MSs) dual phases (α-/β-phase) that induce photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL). Moreover, Amp-MSs can adjust charge balance Fermi level (EF ) alignment, thereby decreasing leakage current. decrease in wave-guided modes light...
