  • New Oligothiophenes

Avhandlingen försvaras på engelska. Opponent är Professor René Janssen, Eindhovens Tekniska Universitet, Nederländerna. Cover picture: The author's fume hood as of February 5, 2004 ISBN 91-7283-725-X ISRN KTH/IOK/FR-04/90--SE ISSN 1100-7974 TRITA-IOK Forskningsrapport 2004:90 © Fredrik von Kieseritzky 2004 Abstract This thesis deals with synthesis and characterization of new oligothiophenes and derivatives thereof, for use in semiconductor applications. One series of regio- defined oligothiophenes up to the octamer was prepared and evaluated. Photoluminescence quantum efficiencies in solution were 22-31 %, but dropped to 2-5 % in the solid state. One oligothiophene in this series was evaluated as a new matrix for MALDI-TOF, with promising results. Another project deals with development of oligothiophenes with "in-chain" chirality, which may find use in polarizing light-emitting diodes. Oligothiophene-porphyrin hybrid materials were synthesized for evaluation as active components in light-producing and/or -harvesting devices. Finally, a novel and simplified synthesis of EDOT, which is a major monomer in oligothiophene chemistry, is presented. Sammanfattning Denna avhandling handlar om syntes och karakterisering av nya oligotiofener och dess derivat. Dessa är tänkta att användas i halvledarapplikationer. En serie med regiodefinierade oligotiofener, upp till och med oktameren, har framställts och utvärderats. Kvantutbytet av fotoluminescensen hos dessa var 22-31 % i lösning, men sjönk till 2-5 % i fast tillstånd.

  • Boron Monosulfide: Equation of State and Pressure-Induced Phase Transition
    Boron monosulfide: equation of state and pressure-induced phase transition K.A. Cherednichenko,1 I.A. Kruglov,2,3 A.R. Oganov,3,4 Y. Le Godec,5 M. Mezouar,6 and V.L. Solozhenko 1,* 1 LSPM–CNRS, Université Paris Nord, 93430 Villetaneuse, France 2 Dukhov Research Institute of Automatics (VNIIA), Moscow, 127055, Russia 3 Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region, 141700, Russia 4 Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Skolkovo Moscow Region, 143026, Russia 5 IMPMC, UPMC Sorbonne Universités, CNRS – UMR 7590, 75005 Paris, France 6 European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, 38043 Grenoble, France Abstract Quasi-hydrostatic compression of rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) has been studied up to 50 GPa at room temperature using diamond-anvil cells and angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A fit of the experimental P–V data to the Vinet equation of state yields bulk modulus B0 of 42.2(1.4) GPa and its first pressure derivative B0′ of 7.6(2) that are in excellent agreement with our ab initio calculations. Formation of a new high-pressure phase of boron monosulfide (hp-BS) has been observed above 35 GPa. According to ab initio evolutionary crystal structure predictions combined with Rietveld refinement of high-pressure X-ray diffraction data, the structure of hp-BS has trigonal symmetry and belongs to the space group P-3m1. As it follows from electron density of states calculations, the phase transformation is accompanied by an insulator-metal transition. Keywords : boron sulfide; high pressure; equation of state; phase transition I. Introduction The AIIIBVI semiconductors (GaS, GaSe, InS, InSe, etc.) are promising materials for solar cells, nonlinear optics, photovoltaic energy converters, radiation detectors, photoresistors and solid-state batteries [1-3].
