Large rectification in molecular heterojunctions

Researchers demonstrate that rectification ratios of greater than 250 at biases of 0.5 V are achievable at the two-molecule limit for donor-acceptor bilayers of pentacene on C60 on Cu using scanning tunneling spectroscopy and microscopy.

Manipulating light inside opaque layers

Light propagating in a layer of scattering nanoparticles, shows the principle of diffusion. The deeper light is penetrating into the layer, the lower the energy density. Scientists managed to turn this falling diffusion curve into a rising one, by manipulating the incident light.
