We investigate the charge transport mechanism in copper phthalocyanine thin films with and without traps. We find that the density of interface states at the grain boundaries can decide the mechanism of charge transport in organic thin films.

ABSTRACTThe charge transport properties in polycrystalline pentacene thin film transistors is investigated. A potential barrier is formed at grain boundaries due charged trapping states. The influence of such grain boundaries on the hole mobility of the devices is analyzed for different grain sizes, trap concentrations, and carrier densities. The results reveal that room temperature mobilities exceeding 0.5 cm2/Vs can be obtained in thin films with large grains as well as in nanocrystalline material. Consequently, single crystal device limits can be reached also by polycrystalline pentacene thin film transistors.

Polymer composite carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films have been hypothesized as a possible material for lightning strike protection for next generation aircraft structures. This study employs the author’s previously presented three-dimensional physics-based coupled thermal and electrical multi-scale model which constructs the non-deterministic nanostructure variations for a CNT thin film, and returns the bulk thermal and electrical response due to high electrical loadings. The key results of the present study are the presentation of a possible failure mechanism for CNT thin films under increasing electrical loadings. This paper discusses the nanoscale breakdown of the network conductivity using a quasi-static loading, and uses the nanoscale results in a macroscopic finite element model which couples resistive heating with thermal breakdown. The results are in reasonable agreement with those found in the literature for a similar system.

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is extensively used in microscopic applications. Reducing excessive error points and achieving accurate matching of weak texture regions have been the classical challenges for 3D microscopic vision. A Multi-ST algorithm was proposed to improve matching accuracy. The process is performed in two main stages: scaled microscopic images and regularized cost aggregation. First, microscopic image pairs with different scales were extracted according to the Gaussian pyramid criterion. Second, a novel cost aggregation approach based on the regularized multi-scale model was implemented into all scales to obtain the final cost. To evaluate the performances of the proposed Multi-ST algorithm and compare different algorithms, seven groups of images from the Middlebury dataset and four groups of experimental images obtained by a binocular microscopic system were analyzed. Disparity maps and reconstruction maps generated by the proposed approach contained more information and fewer outliers or artifacts. Furthermore, 3D reconstruction of the plug gauges using the Multi-ST algorithm showed that the error was less than 0.025 mm.
