Title: Connecting molecular structure, self-assembly, and long-range order to efficient charge transport in organic semiconductors Abstract: Organic semiconductors show great potential for light emitting diodes, flexible solar cells, and printable electronics with new applications emerging in areas such as bioelectronics and thermoelectrics. In all of these applications, the electronic properties of these materials are linked to…
Title: Searching for Tensor Currents in the Weak Interaction Using Lithium-8 Beta Decay Abstract: Not all searches for New Physics require 13 TeV of energy. Nuclear physics remains a powerful tool for probing the Standard Model’s limits. The electroweak interaction is well-predicted by a pure vector-axial vector structure. However, high-precision measurements of the beta-neutrino correlation…
Title: Strain Effects on the Anisotropic Thermal Transport in Crystalline Polyethylene Abstract: Thermal transport in the axial direction of polymers has been extensively studied while the strain effect on thermal conductivity, especially in the radial direction, remains unknown. In this work, we calculated the thermal conductivity in the radial direction of a crystalline polyethylene model and simulated…
Title: X-Ray Triboelectrification Abstract: Triboelectrification – the transfer of charge between dielectric surfaces brought into and out of contact – is perhaps the longest standing unsolved mystery of the physical world. The unbalanced surface charge density regularly reaches 10^12 fundamental units/square-centimeter which corresponds to a nearby field of about a million volts/cm. The resulting discharges…
