41. The role of local potential minima on charge transport in thin organic semiconductor layersEgon Pavlica, Raveendra Babu Penumala, Gvido Bratina, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: We have performed a systematic study of dependence of time-resolved photocurrent on the point of charge excitation within the organic semiconductor channel formed by two coplanar metal electrodes. The results confirm that spatial variation of electric field between the electrodes crucially determines transport of photogenerated charge carriers through the organic layer. Time-of-flight measurements of photocurrent demonstrate that the transit time of photogenerated charge carrier packets drifting between the two electrodes decreases with increasing travelling distance. Such counterintuitive result cannot be reconciled with the spatial distribution of electric field between coplanar electrodes, alone. It is also in contrast to expected role of space-charge screening of external electric field. Supported by Monte Carlo simulations of hopping transport in disordered organic semiconductor layer, we submit that the space-charge screens the external electric field and captures slower charge carriers from the photogenerated charge carrier packet. The remaining faster carriers, exhibit velocity distribution with significantly higher mean value and shorter transit time.

42. A nanomesh scaffold for supramolecular nanowire optoelectronic devicesLei Zhang, Egon Pavlica, Gvido Bratina, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Supramolecular organic nanowires are ideal nanostructures for optoelectronics because they exhibit both efficient exciton generation as a result of their high absorption coefficient and remarkable light sensitivity due to the low number of grain boundaries and high surface-to-volume ratio. To harvest photocurrent directly from supramolecular nanowires it is necessary to wire them up with nanoelectrodes that possess different work functions. However, devising strategies that can connect multiple nanowires at the same time has been challenging. Here, we report a general approach to simultaneously integrate hundreds of supramolecular nanowires of N,N′-dioctyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C8) in a hexagonal nanomesh scaffold with asymmetric nanoelectrodes. Optimized PTCDI-C8 nanowire photovoltaic devices exhibit a signal-to-noise ratio approaching 107, a photoresponse time as fast as 10 ns and an external quantum efficiency >55%. This nanomesh scaffold can also be used to investigate the fundamental mechanism of photoelectrical conversion in other low-dimensional semiconducting nanostructures.

43. Pozabljeni zdravnik : Vloga dr. Karla Pečnika pri vprašanju slovenske gospodarske samostojnosti in vključevanja v mednarodno trgovino.Rok Bratina, 2016, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Diplomska naloga obravnava življenje in delo dr. Karla Pečnika, vsestransko izobraženega slovenskega izseljenca, ki je velik del svojega življenja preživel kot zdravnik jetičnih bolezni v Egiptu. Pričujoča naloga se osredotoča na Koroščevo brošuro Slovenci in mednarodni promet, ki jo je Pečnik napisal na podlagi večletnega preučevanja gospodarskega dogajanja v Egiptu. Ker je bil zelo dobro obveščen tudi o stanju v domovini, je s pomočjo goriškega politika Andreja Gabrščka leta 1898 izdal omenjeno brošuro v kateri je želel spodbuditi Slovence k bolj samostojnemu gospodarskemu delovanju, neodvisnemu od ostalih dežel v Habsburški monarhiji. Kot je zapisal Pečnik, je svetovna trgovina odpravila vse omejitve, ki bi lahko ovirale slovenske dežele na poti do gospodarske samostojnosti.
Namen in cilj pričujoče diplomske naloge je bil predstaviti življenje in delo Karla Pečnika, ga ponovno obuditi v slovenski gospodarski zgodovini in ga v prihodnje predstavljati kot enega tistih posameznikov, ki so imeli eno pomembnejših vlog pri nadaljnjem razvoju slovenskega gospodarstva. Dokaz za to je danes moč najti v njegovi brošuri Slovenci in mednarodni promet. Keywords: Habsburška monarhija, gospodarstvo, liberalizem, mednarodna trgovina, slovenske dežele, Egipt, Karol Pečnik.

44. Flexible non-volatile optical memory thin-filmtransistor device with over 256 distinct levelsbased on an organic bicomponent blendGvido Bratina, Egon Pavlica, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Flexible non-volatile optical memory thin-filmtransistor device with over 256 distinct levelsbased on an organic bicomponent blendTim Leydecker1, Martin Herder2, Egon Pavlica3,GvidoBratina3,StefanHecht2*, Emanuele Orgiu1*and Paolo Samorì1*Organic nanomaterials are attracting a great deal of interest for use in flexible electronic applications such as logiccircuits, displays and solar cells. These technologies have already demonstrated good performances, but flexible organicmemories are yet to deliver on all their promise in terms of volatility, operational voltage, write/erase speed, as well asthe number of distinct attainable levels. Here, we report a multilevel non-volatile flexible optical memory thin-filmtransistor based on a blend of a reference polymer semiconductor, namely poly(3-hexylthiophene), and a photochromicdiarylethene, switched with ultraviolet and green light irradiation. A three-terminal device featuring over 256 (8 bitstorage) distinct current levels was fabricated, the memory states of which could be switched with 3 ns laser pulses.We also report robustness over 70 write–erase cycles and non-volatility exceeding 500 days. The device was implementedon a flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrate, validating the concept for integration into wearable electronics andsmart nanodevices. Keywords: organic semiconductors

49. Electrical conductivity in 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhidride (PTCDA)Gvido Bratina, Robert Hudej, Marko Zavrtanik, John Nimly Brownell, 2001, original scientific article Abstract: The transient photoresponse in 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride was examined in metal/organic semiconductor/metal heterostructures. Electron-hole pairs are generated within the structure for fields higher than 5 X 10[sup]4 V/cm as a consequence of the exciton dissociation. The mobility of the electrons perpendicular to the molecular layers increases with the applied electric field and saturates for fields higher than 5 X 10[sup]4 V/cm.
