They find that in the electrical bistable devices, electrical switching is associated with a change in the conduction mechanism. Device current in the low-conducting state follows an injection-limited mechanism. The current in the high-conducting state conforms a bulk-dominated mechanism, namely, space-charge limited conduction with an exponential distribution of traps. The bistability has an associated memory phenomenon.

With the hybrid core−shell nanoparticles, we fabricate devices so that the photoinduced electron-transfer can finally yield photocurrent and result photovoltaic solar cells. Formation of an organic shell-layer on CdSe nanoparticles is supported by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Electron-transfer from the nanoparticle in the core to a number of organic molecules in the shell is established from quenching of photoluminescence intensity of CdSe nanoparticles as well as from a change in the lifetime of photoluminescence emission. Devices based on the hybrid core−shell nanoparticles in a suitable hole-transporting layer with two dissimilar metal electrodes show efficient photovoltaic performance. Here, following the electron-transfer, electrons flow through the organic molecules and holes, left in the nanoparticles, move through the hole-transporting polymer to the opposite electrodes to yield photovoltaic short-circuit current. The role of CdSe nanoparticles in light-harvesting and charge-generation has been substantiated by control experiments with ZnS nanoparticles in the core. In ZnS-based hybrid core−shell systems, photovoltaic performance is low since photoinduced electron-transfer does not occur from ZnS to the dye.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.397</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rath, Arup Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pal, Amlan J.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Induce negative differential resistance in organic devices through a ferroelectric polymer</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organic Electronics</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1116–1119</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We report how ferroelectric materials induce negative differential resistance (NDR) in organic devices.

At the heart of optoelectronic devices lies the formation of a junction, which requires the intimate contact of n-type and p-type semiconductors. Doping in bulk semiconductors has been largely deployed for many decades, yet electronically active doping in quantum dots has remained a challenge and the demonstration of robust functional optoelectronic devices had thus far been elusive. Here we report an optoelectronic device, a quantum dot homojunction solar cell, based on heterovalent cation substitution. We used PbS quantum dots as a reference material, which is a p-type semiconductor, and we employed Bi-doping to transform it into an n-type semiconductor. We then combined the two layers into a homojunction device operating as a solar cell robustly under ambient air conditions with power conversion efficiency of 2.7%.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.742

We also present a simple approach based on an RC model that allows the determination of carrier mobility in PbS quantum dot films and we corroborate the results via comparison with space charge limited measurements.

In the development of high performance QD solar cell, the surface ligand chemistry has played the important role in controlling the doping type and doping density of QD solids. For instance, lead sulfide (PbS) QDs which is at the forefront of QD solar cell technology, can be made n-type or p-type respectively by using iodine or thiol as the surfactant. The advancements in surface ligand chemistry enable the formation of p-n homojunction of PbS QDs layers to attain high solar cell performances. It is shown here, however, that poor Fermi level alignment of thiol passivated p-type PbS QD hole transport layer with the n-type PbS QD light absorbing layer has rendered the photovoltaic devices from realizing their full potential. Here we develop a control surface oxidation technique using facile ultraviolet ozone treatment to increase the p-doping density in a controlled fashion for the thiol passivated PbS QD layer. This subtle surface modification tunes the Fermi energy level of the hole transport layer to deeper values to facilitate the carrier extraction and voltage generation in photovoltaic devices. In photovoltaic devices, the ultraviolet ozone treatment resulted in the average gain of 18% in the power conversion efficiency with the highest recorded efficiency of 8.98%. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.

	The explosion in digital communication with the huge amount of data and the internet of things (IoT) led to the increasing demand for data storage technology with faster operation speed, high-density stacking, nonvolatility, and low power consumption for saving energy. Metal chalcogenide-based quantum dots (QDs) show excellent nonvolatile resistive memory behavior owing to their tunable electronic states and control in trap states by passivating the surface with different ligands. Here, we synthesized high-quality colloidal monodispersed CdSe QDs by the hot injection method. The CdSe QDs were blended with an organic polymer, poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP), to fabricate an Al\textbackslashCdSe-PVP\textbackslashAl device. Our device shows excellent bipolar nonvolatile resistive random access memory (RRAM) switching behavior with a high current ON/OFF ratio (I-ON/OFF) of 6.1 x 10(4), and it consumes ultralow power. The charge trapping and detrapping in the potential well formed by the CdSe QD and PVP combination result in resistive switching. This CdSe-PVP-based resistive random access memory (RRAM) device with a high I-ON/OFF, ultrafast switching speed, high endurance, low operating voltage, and long retention period can be used as a high-performance and ultralow-power memristive device.&lt;/p&gt;

	Conventional memory technologies are facing enormous problems with downscaling, and are hence unable to fulfill the requirement of big data storage generated by a huge explosion of digital information. A resistive random access memory device (RRAM) is one of the most emerging technologies for next-generation computing data storage owing to its high-density stacking, ultrafast switching speed, high non-volatility, multilevel data storage, low power consumption, and simple device structure. In this work, colloidal MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an insulating matrix of poly-(4vinylpyridine) (PVP) were used as an active layer to fabricate a RRAM device. The MoS2 QDs-PVP based RRAM device reveals an excellent nonvolatile resistive switching (RS) behavior with a maximum current on-off ratio (I-ON/I-OFF) of 10(5). High endurance, long retention time, and successive ``write-read-erase-read'' cycles indicate high-performance RRAM characteristics. The ultimate power consumption by this RRAM device is considerably low for energy saving. In addition, the MoS2 QDs-PVP based device shows RS behavior even at 130 degrees C. High I-ON/I-OFF, low operating power, high endurance, long retention time, and excellent stability with temperatures reveal that the MoS2 QDs-PVP based device can be a promising candidate for high-performance low power RRAM devices that can be operated at relatively higher temperatures.

	To leverage the unique optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) in solar cells, it is crucial to address electronic traps from unsaturated surface states of high surface area QDs. Despite advancements in surface passivation, even the best-coupled QD solids exhibit significant sub-bandgap trap states. This study introduces engineered multibandgap PbS QD solids that achieve passivation of deep traps below the conduction band through electron migration from dopant QDs. Our findings indicate that electron flow, driven by Fermi energy balancing in blend films, fills deep trap states, reducing trap density by half and shifting trap energy positions closer to the conduction band. During electrical transport, trap filling minimizes trapping and detrapping events, enhancing overall carrier mobility, despite higher-bandgap dopant QDs not contributing to carrier transport due to their unfavorable energy positions. Improved trap passivation in coupled QD solids leads to a record V oc of 725 +/- 10 meV for the 1.33 eV excitonic peak of QDs and a power conversion efficiency exceeding 14% in solar cells.&lt;/p&gt;
