Theoretical models of polymer–fullerene interfaces indicate that inhomogeneous broadening of fullerene energy levels introduces strong coupling between the interfacial3CT and nearby fullerene triplet excitons that can enhance the decay of these states in systems with higher degrees of energetic disorder.

In this paper, we discuss our recent efforts to correlate the role of density of states, entropy, and configurational and energetic disorder to the open-circuit voltage, VOC, of model type-II organic polymer photovoltaics.

In this paper, high purity boron carbide samples were irradiated by [Formula: see text]Co gamma radioisotope source (0.27 Gy/s dose rate) with 50, 100, 150 and 200 irradiation hours at room-temperature. The unirradiated and irradiated boron carbide samples were heated from 30[Formula: see text]C to 1000[Formula: see text]C at a heating rate of 5[Formula: see text]C/min under the argon gas atmosphere of flow rate 20 ml/min. Thermogravimetric (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were carried out in order to understand the thermodynamic kinetics of boron carbide samples. The weight kinetics, activation energy and specific heat capacity of the unirradiated and irradiated boron carbide samples were examined in two parts, T [Formula: see text] 650[Formula: see text]C and T [Formula: see text] 650[Formula: see text]C, according to the temperature. The dynamic of quantitative changes in both ranges is different depending on the irradiation time. While the phase transition of unirradiated boron carbide samples occurs at 902[Formula: see text]C, this value shifts upto 940[Formula: see text]C in irradiated samples depending on the irradiation time. The activation energy of the unirradiated boron carbide samples decreased from 214 to 46 J/mol in the result of 200[Formula: see text]h gamma irradiation. The reduction of the activation energy after the irradiation compared to the initial state shows that the dielectric properties of the irradiated boron carbide samples have been improved. After the gamma irradiation, two energy barrier states depending on the absorption dose of samples were formed in the irradiated samples. The first and second energy barriers occurred in 0.56–0.80 and 0.23–0.36 eV energy intervals, respectively. The existence of two energy levels in the irradiated boron carbide indicates that the point defects are at deep levels, close to the valence band.

Potassium uptake by roots of 3-week-old red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) seedlings was measured in nutrient solutions ranging in K+ concentration from 0.01 to 10.0 mM. Nonlinear least squares analysis was used to estimate uptake parameters Vmax and Km. Analyses of residuals generated by several theoretical models of ion uptake were undertaken to choose the best mechanistic uptake model. Potassium absorption by red spruce seedlings was characterized by Michaelis–Menten behavior from K+ solutions in the range 0.01 to 1.0 mM. Above 1.0 mM, accumulation of potassium was most readily accounted for by a linear diffusive component superimposed on saturation kinetics. Uptake parameter values of Vmax = 1.17 μmol K∙g fresh weight−1∙h−1 and Km = 0.083 mM were similar to those reported for other species. The culture of seedlings in full-strength nutrient solution did not reduce the ability to resolve these uptake parameters in short-term experiments.
