Abstract:
Radiation detectors based on high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are provided. Methods for detecting ultraviolet radiation using the HEMTs are also provided. The transistors are constructed from an intrinsic high bandgap semiconductor material with a built-in polarization field sandwiched between graphene and a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG).
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods of directed self-assembly (DSA) on atomic layer chemical patterns and related compositions. The atomic layer chemical patterns may be formed from two-dimensional materials such as graphene. The atomic layer chemical patterns provide high resolution, low defect directed self-assembly. For example, DSA on a graphene pattern can be used achieve ten times the resolution of DSA that is achievable on a three-dimensional pattern such as a polymer brush. Assembly of block copolymers on the atomic layer chemical patterns may also facilitate subsequent etch, as the atomic layer chemical patterns are easier to etch than conventional pattern materials.
Abstract:
Tandem solar cells comprising two or more solar cells connected in a solar cell stack via pn diode tunnel junctions and methods for fabricating the tandem solar cells using epitaxial lift off and transfer printing are provided. The tandem solar cells have improved tunnel junction structures comprising a current tunneling layer integrated between the p and n layers of the pn diode tunnel junction that connects the solar cells.

Abstract:
Methods of spatially directing the orientation and placement of multiple block copolymer (BCP) domains on isolated regions of a substrate are described. The methods involve epitaxially directing the assembly of BCP domains using spatial boundaries between regions with different surface composition, formed at the edges of isolated chemical regions on a background chemistry. Multiple vertical domains of BCP order on the isolated region, self-aligned in a direction parallel to edges of the isolated region. In some embodiments, vertical domains order on multiple isolated regions of a first chemistry of a chemical contrast pattern with horizontal domains on the regions of a second (background) chemistry of the chemical contrast pattern. Also provided herein are compositions resulting from the methods.
