In this work, the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells (OPV) based on copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) as donor/fullerene (C-60) as an acceptor was improved via Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):Polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as (photoconductor transport layer) embedded by silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared using a thermochemical method. The change of the surface plasmonic band position of AgNPs has been explained by the Uv-Vis spectra. Different sizes and shapes of AgNPs have been confirmed from images of a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Thin films of PEDOT: PSS embedded by different sizes and shapes of AgNPs were made on glass/ITO using Spin Coater. The last two layers of CuPc and C-60 were precipitated using a vacuum evaporation technique. The study of the prepared junction film using AFM showed a morphological smooth on the surface layers due to the good distribution of AgNPs. Cell efficiency of OPV was improved from 0.663 to 0.925 with increasing the particle sizes of AgNPs from 43 nm to 57 nm. The increase in V-OC, I-SC, and fill factor with increasing the particle size can be attributed to the increase in scattering light and the built-in electric field that generate due to surface plasmon resonance around AgNPs embedded in PEDOT:PSS. The scattering increases the excitons (e-h) generation and built-in electric field dissociation these excitons to e(-) and h(+) and move to terminal connection and improved the cell efficiency.

Chaos signatures of current phase transition in a toroidal trap
Zhiqiang Li, Xiaoxiao Hu, Zhao-Yun Zeng, Yajiang Chen, Ai-Xi Chen, Xiaobing Luo
Summary: This work demonstrates how the current phase transition of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates in a trap can be controlled by applying an oscillatory driving field. The self-trapping effect in momentum space allows for a suppression of oscillations and a nearly constant directed current. Mean-field chaos serves as an indicator of the quantum phase transition. These findings are supported by an effective three-mode model.

Modulation of electronic and optical properties of BlueP/MoSSe heterostructures via biaxial strain and vertical electric field
Jinqin Ye, Yi Li, Jun Ding, Heng Yu, Xianqi Dai
Summary: Constructing van der Waals heterostructures is an efficient approach to enhance the properties and broaden the applications of two-dimensional materials. This study explores the structure, stability, electronic, and optical properties of BlueP/MoSSe heterostructures using density functional theory calculations. It is found that the bandgap and band edge of these heterostructures can be effectively modulated by strain and electric field.

Melting line and thermal equation of state of fcc-cobalt: A combined experimental and computational approach
Simone Anzellini, Silvia Boccato, Samuel R. Baty, Leonid Burakovsky, Daniele Antonangeli, Daniel Errandonea, Raffaella Torchio
Summary: The melting line of cobalt was investigated through experimental and theoretical methods, revealing a phase transition from hexagonal close-packed structure to face-centered cubic structure at high temperatures. The melting temperatures obtained from both methods showed good agreement and can be described by a Simon-Glatzel equation. Additionally, a thermal equation of state for the face-centered cubic phase of cobalt was determined.

Chaotic dynamics of fractional viscoelastic PET membranes subjected to combined harmonic and variable axial loads
Jiajuan Qing, Shisheng Zhou, Jimei Wu, Mingyue Shao
Summary: This paper investigates the nonlinear chaotic vibrations of fractional viscoelastic PET membranes subjected to combined harmonic and variable axial loads. The viscoelasticity of PET membrane is characterized by the fractional Kelvin-Voigt model. The reliability of the numerical strategy is proved by comparing the results with available fractional systems and examples. The influence of system parameters on chaotic behaviors is described using bifurcation diagrams and detailed responses. This research provides a fundamental framework for controlling viscoelastic substrates in flexible manufacturing.
