Summary: Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) treatment is effective for improving the electrical performance of organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) by reducing interface traps. However, it has been rarely explored in inorganic TFTs due to potential damage to thin SAMs during the deposition processes. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using SAM treatment on the gate dielectric of inorganic p-type Zn-doped CuI TFTs to enhance their performance significantly, including a reduction in interface trap density, an increase in hole mobility, an improvement in on/off ratio, and an enhancement in bias stress stability.

Summary: In the heterostructure of 1T'-ReS2 and F8ZnPc, holes in ReS2 can efficiently transfer to F8ZnPc on a timescale shorter than 0.35 ps with a long lifetime in F8ZnPc. The lack of electron transfer confirms the feasibility of developing 2D/organic heterostructures with anisotropic electronic and optoelectronic properties.

Summary: This paper presents a novel approach to achieve large-scale manipulation and trapping of microspheres by uniformly coupled local surface plasmon fields on a short-range disordered self-assembled Ag nanoplates film. The film is prepared using simple and low-cost methods, overcoming the challenges of preparing periodic nanostructures with a large coverage area. The uniform and coupled plasmon fields enable non-invasive and repeatable trapping of particles in solution, and dynamic manipulating particles can be achieved by controlling the laser position. The stable manipulation enabled by this film opens up new possibilities for trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles in various applications.

Summary: In this study, the contact properties of ML GeAs with different metals were investigated through calculations and simulations. Weak interactions were found between ML GeAs and 2D metal electrodes, while strong interaction was observed with Cu electrode. Isotropic contact properties were observed along the two principal directions. The results provide a theoretical foundation for designing high-performance ML GeAs FETs.

Summary: The effect of fluorination of a conjugated polymer backbone on charge trapping and the operational stability of organic field-effect transistors is investigated. It is found that although fluorination can increase charge carrier mobility, it leads to poor operational stability due to the presence of a greater degree of shallow trapping and the presence of minority charge carriers.

Summary: Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with polymer charge-trapping dielectric show potential for practical applications due to their low cost, light weight, and flexibility. However, their endurance characteristics are still a major challenge. This study reveals that the degradation of endurance characteristics in pentacene OFET with poly(2-vinyl naphthalene) (PVN) as the charge-storage layer is mainly caused by deep hole-traps in PVN. The depth distribution of these hole-traps in the PVN film of the pentacene OFET is also provided.

Summary: The demand for ambipolar organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) is growing due to their applications in single-component organic logic circuits and integrated circuits. Poly naphthalene diimide-thienylene-vinylene-thienylene (PNDI-TVT) is a good choice for the semiconducting layer in ambipolar OTFTs. In this study, high-performance ambipolar OTFTs were developed using PNDI-TVT as a semiconductor and SAM-treated gold as the electrodes, improving the performance of complementary organic inverters.

Summary: The charge-transport modes of organic heterojunction transistors (OHJTs) have significant importance in their potential applications. In this study, OHJTs with tunable charge-transport modes were demonstrated based on a single vertical heterointerface. The competition between electrons and holes to as the dominant carriers was attributed to the variation in the densities of two charge carriers. Additionally, the function of the heterointerface was further explored through the insertion of a high-kappa organic dielectric layer.

We introduce a general methodology to identify and classify local molecular environments in self-assembled monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (SAM-AuNPs), and explore factors influencing the number and nature of these environments. This work is important for understanding and designing hybrid nanoconstructs.
