The potential to perform at low voltages is a unique feature of carbon nanotube thin-film transistors (CNT-TFTs) when compared to more common TFT material options, such as amorphous Si or organic films. In this work, CNT-TFTs are fabricated using high-purity CNTs (verified electrically to be !99% semiconducting) on an embedded gate device structure, which allows for scaling of the dielectric (e...

We show that long-ranged superconducting order is not necessary to guarantee the existence of Majorana fermion zero modes at the ends of a quantum wire. We formulate a concrete model, which applies, for instance, to a semiconducting quantum wire with strong spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman splitting coupled to a wire with algebraically decaying superconducting fluctuations. We solve this model by...

Roll-To-Roll Slot-Die Coating In article number 2212835, Jens Wenzel Andreasen and co-workers study the optical excitation during roll-to-roll slot-die coating of a semiconducting polymer that enables morphological manipulation thin-films for organic photovoltaics flexible electronics. Combined theoretical experimental techniques elucidate changes upon while thin-film solidifies. The induced in...

We study theoretically the in-plane electromagnetic response and exciton–plasmon interactions for an experimentally feasible carbon nanotube (CN) film system composed of parallel aligned periodic semiconducting CN arrays embedded in ultrathin finite-thickness dielectric. For homogeneous single-CN films, intertube coupling thermal broadening bring exciton interband plasmon resonances closer toge...
