AB  - We demonstrate transitional dimensionality of discrete diffraction in radial-elliptical photonic lattices. Varying the order, characteristic structure size, and ellipticity of the Mathieu beams used for the photonic lattices generation, we control the shape of discrete diffraction distribution over the combination of the radial direction with the circular, elliptic, or hyperbolic. We also investigate the transition from one-dimensional to two-dimensional discrete diffraction by varying the input probe beam position. The most pronounced discrete diffraction is observed along the crystal anisotropy direction.

AB  - Here in this talk, we propose the simultaneous measurement of rectification and amplitude of tunneling current during electrical probing of a molecule in a nanogap for efficient single-molecule detection. Also, we suggest the application of nitrogen-terminated graphene or CNT nanogaps due to their inherent outstanding features. With DFT and Non-Equilibrium Green's Function formalism, we show that tunneling current through various molecules, including ssDNA, TATP, or small organics placed in those nanogaps, exhibits unique rectification behavior under square pulses of alternating bias. The rectification arises by on-off switching of electronic transport through the molecular HOMO or LUMO levels, sustained by partial charging of the probed molecule, generated by asymmetric hybridization of that level with Bloch states from one of the electrodes. An effect that mimics local gating, i. e. an interaction between the molecule and the nitrogen-induced dipole moment located at the N-C interface of the electrode ends, strongly influences the rectification. The simultaneous measurement of rectification and amplitude of tunneling current could be applied to gas-phase single-molecule detection, as shown in the example case of the TATP. The TATP (triacetone triperoxide) is a volatile, potent, and hard-to-detect explosive made from commonly available chemicals, a terrorist weapon of choice in the last two decades. The rectification could also be applied in the liquid phase, offering the possibility of high-throughput and precise DNA sequencing. We found that the environment (neighboring nucleotides, water molecules, and counterions) does not mask ssDNA rectification while ssDNA traverses the nanogap.

AB  - Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist
attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of
current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach based on singlemolecule TATP detection in the air using a device where tunneling current in N-terminated carbonnanotubes nanogaps is measured. By employing the density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green’s function method, we show that current of tens of nanoamperes passes through
TATP trapped in the nanogap, with a discrimination ratio of several orders of magnitude even against
prevalent indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This high tunneling current through TATP’s highest
occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is facilitated by the strong electric field generated by N–C polar
bonds at the electrode ends and by the hybridization between TATP and the electrodes, driven by oxygen atoms within the probed molecule. The application of the same principle is discussed for graphene
nanogaps and break-junctions.

AB  - Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a homemade, potent explosive and, unfortunately, is used in many terrorist attacks. It is hard to detect, and present techniques for its sensing do not offer portability. Fortunately, TATP is volatile, and gas-sensing-based devices for TATP detection would provide a higher level of safety. Here, we explore the possibility of single molecule TATP detection in the air by tunneling current measurement in the N-terminated carbon-based nanogaps, at the DFT+NEGF level of theory. We found TATP averaged current amplitude of tens nano amperes, with a discrimination ratio with respect to prevalent indoor volatile organic compounds (VOC) of a few orders of magnitude. That high tunneling current is due to specific TATP HOMO contributions to electronic transport. The transport facilitates the strong, in-gap electrical field generated by N-C polar bonds from electrode ends and TATP electrode hybridization, spurred by oxygen atoms from a probed molecule.

AB  - The electrical current properties of single-molecule sensing devices based on electronic (tunneling) transport strongly depend on molecule frontier orbital energy, spatial distribution, and position with respect to the electrodes. Here, we present an analysis of the bias dependence of molecule frontier orbital properties at an exemplar case of DNA nucleotides in the gap between H-terminated (3, 3) carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes and its relation to transversal current rectification. The electronic transport properties of this simple single-molecule device, whose characteristic is the absence of covalent bonding between electrodes and a molecule between them, were obtained using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's functions. As in our previous studies, we could observe two distinct bias dependences of frontier orbital energies: the so-called strong and the weak pinning regimes. We established a procedure, from zero-bias and empty-gap characteristics, to estimate finite-bias electronic tunneling transport properties, i.e., whether the molecular junction would operate in the weak or strong pinning regime. We also discuss the use of the zero-bias approximation to calculate electric current properties at finite bias. The results from this work could have an impact on the design of new single-molecule applications that use tunneling current or rectification applicable in high-sensitivity sensors, protein, or DNA sequencing.

AB  - The requirement for controllable frontier orbital energy shift in single-molecule devices based on electronic (tunneling) transport yielded several rules for device design that lean on molecular level pinning to the electrochemical potential of nano-electrodes. We previously found that the pinning (designated as the strong pinning) was the consequence of the bias-induced molecular charge accumulation related to the hybridization of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) with one of the electrodes. However, in the wide bias range, only "partial" pinning (designated as the weak pinning) happens. In this work, we address the bias-induced shift of molecular orbitals in a weak pinning regime, where no hybridization or covalent bonds with electrodes exist. We found using density functional theory coupled with non-equilibrium Green's functions that the energy shift of frontier molecular orbitals of benzene and nicotine, placed between H-terminated (3, 3) CNTs, in weak pinning regime, is driven only by the electrostatic potential energy of an empty gap. For nicotine, whose HOMO and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) are located on different sides of the gap center, we show that the HOMO-LUMO energy gap changes with bias. We developed a theoretical model of a dielectric in a gap to depict this behavior. Application-wise, we expect that the weak pinning effect would be observable in novel single-molecule sensors based on electronic transport and molecular rectifying as long as the system exhibits a non-resonant behavior, and could serve for molecular gap tuning in single-molecule readout such as DNA, RNA and protein sequencing, or harmful single-molecule detection in gas phase.

AB  - Functionalization of electrodes is a wide-used strategy in various applications ranging from single-molecule sensing and protein sequencing, to ion trapping, to desalination. We demonstrate, employing non-equilibrium Green ' s function formalism combined with density functional theory, that single-species (N, H, S, Cl, F) termination of graphene nanogap electrodes results in a strong in-gap electrostatic field, induced by species-dependent dipoles formed at the electrode ends. Consequently, the field increases or decreases electronic transport through a molecule (benzene) placed in the nanogap by shifting molecular levels by almost 2 eV in respect to the electrode Fermi level via a field effect akin to the one used for field-effect transistors. We also observed the local gating in graphene nanopores terminated with different single-species atoms. Nitrogen-terminated nanogaps (NtNGs) and nanopores (NtNPs) show the strongest effect. The in-gap potential can be transformed from a plateau-like to a saddle-like shape by tailoring NtNG and NtNP size and termination type. In particular, the saddle-like potential is applicable in single-ion trapping and desalination devices.

AB  - Fast, reliable, and inexpensive DNA sequencing is an important pursuit in healthcare, especially in personalized medicine with possible deep societal impacts. Despite significant progress in various nanopore-based sequencing configurations, challenges that remain in resolution and chromosome-size-long readout call for new approaches. Here we found strong rectification in the transversal current during single-stranded DNA translocation through a nanopore with side-embedded N-terminated carbon nanotube electrodes. Employing density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function formalisms, we show that the rectifying ratio (response to square pulses of alternating bias) bears high nucleobase specificity. Rectification arises because of bias-dependent resistance asymmetry on the deoxyribonucleotide-electrode interfaces. The asymmetry induces molecular charging and highest occupied molecular orbital pinning to the electrochemical potential of one of the electrodes, assisted by an in-gap electric-field effect caused by dipoles at the terminated electrode ends. We propose the rectifying ratio, due to its order-of-magnitude-difference nucleobase selectivity and robustness to electrode-molecule orientation, as a promising readout quantifier for single-base resolution and chromosome-size-long single-read DNA sequencing. The proposed configurations are within experimental reach from the viewpoint of both nanofabrication and small current measurement.

AB  - There is an ongoing interest in organic materials due to their application in various organic electronic devices. However stability of organic materials limits their potential use. They are prone to degradation both during the working life and storage. One of the main causes is extrinsic degradation, under the influence of oxygen and moisture. This problem can be solved by encapsulation of devices. However no encapsulation is perfect. This paper presents a study of interaction of thin films of well-known organic blue emitters, namely N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)benzidine (TPD) and 4,4′-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (DPVBi), with UV light in air. Films of both materials are stable in vacuum, but readily degrade in the presence of oxygen. Thus, the necessary condition for interaction (degradation) is the simultaneous presence of UV light and oxygen. Chemical analysis of irradiated films by mass and infrared spectroscopy revealed presence of oxidized species (impurities). These impurities are responsible for increased morphological stability of irradiated films and quenching of photoluminescence (PL). Only small amount of impurities, 0.4 % (0.2 %) for TPD (DPVBi), causes 50 % decrease of PL. This implies a non-trivial mechanism of quenching. For both molecules it was found that distance between impurities is smaller or equal to exciton diffusion length, which is the necessary condition for quenching. Following mechanism of quenching is proposed: exciton diffuses by hopping form one host molecule (DPVBi or TPD) to another through Förster resonant energy transfer in a random walk manner. If, during its lifetime, it comes to proximity of an impurity, a PL quenching process occurs. Findings of this study are important because they show that even a small amount of oxygen that penetrates a blue emitter layer would impair luminescence efficiency of a device. Moreover, the absorption of its own radiation would additionally contribute to the rate of degradation of a device. It is reasonable to expect that transport properties would also be affected when materials are used as a hole-transporting layer in OLEDs.

AB  - Prolonged annealing of pentacene thin films in air leads to the formation of nano- and micro-scale rod-shaped structures at temperatures equal to or higher than 130 degrees C. Scanning electron microscopy measurements indicated their crystalline structure, while UV-vis absorption spectra revealed presence of different species of oxidized pentacene, including 6,13-pentacenequinone. The mechanism of growth of microcrystals from oxidized pentacene molecules is discussed. Raman and UV-vis absorption spectra dependences on film thickness (in 30-300 nm range) and on thermal annealing conditions (in air and nitrogen at ambient pressure at 100 and 150 degrees C) were also studied. These spectra are not largely affected by annealing if it is performed in nitrogen at any of studied temperatures and annealing times (few hours to few days). However, if annealing is performed in air, at temperatures 130 degrees C and higher, changes in spectral features are significant due to film oxidation.

of pentacene films, well-known material widely used in organic electronic devices, was studied. Pentacene films, whose thickness varies an order of magnitude (30 – 300 nm) depending on the position on the substrate, were polycrystalline at all thicknesses. Raman and UV-vis absorption spectra depend on the position on film implies changes of the film structure with the thickness. These spectra are not largely affected by annealing if it is not performed in air at temperatures higher than 100°C. Prolonged annealing in air, at temperatures higher than 100°C, leads to formation of nano- and micro-scale rod-shaped structures on film surface. Based on scanning electron microscopy measurements, it is supposed that these structures are crystalline. Their UV-vis absorbance indicates that they are composed of more than one species of oxidized pentacene molecules, including 6,13-pentacenequinone. Further study is necessary to precisely determine composition and structure of micro-rods, as well as the mechanism of their formation.

Chemical analysis of irradiated films by NMR, mass and infrared spectroscopy revealed presence of oxidized species (impurities). These impurities are responsible for increased morphological stability of irradiated films and quenching of photoluminescence. Only small amount of impurities, 0.4 % (0.2 %) for TPD (DPVBi), causes 50 % decrease of photoluminescence. This implies a non-trivial mechanism of quenching. For both molecules it was found that distance between impurities is smaller or equal to exciton diffusion length, which is the necessary condition for quenching. Following mechanism of quenching is proposed: exciton diffuses by hopping form one DPVBi (TPD) to another through FRET in a random walk manner. If, during its lifetime, it comes to proximity of an impurity, a Dexter-type energy transfer occurs and PL is quenched. Findings of DPVBi study are important because they show that even a small amount of oxygen that penetrates a DPVBi layer would impair luminescence efficiency of a device. Moreover, the absorption of own radiation (for DPVBi and TPD both) would additionally contribute to the rate of degradation of a device. It is reasonable to expect that transport properties would also be affected when materials are used as a hole-transporting layer in OLEDs.",

TPD is small organic molecule widely used in production of organic light emmiting devices (OLEDs). Photoluminescence of TPD films decays exponentially with time of irradiation, i.e. with the increase of concentration of impurities (photo-oxidized TPD molecules) generated by UV irradiation in air. Intensity of PL decreases to half of its original value when the concentration of impurities reaches 0.4%. Average distance between impurities (acceptors) is almost an order of magnitude larger than average distance between host TPD molecules (donors). Direct long range Förster energy transfer is ruled out as the mechanism of PL quenching, as the overlap between donor and acceptor is lacking, and exciton self-diffusion in TPD films is postulated for the mechanism. The presence of oxidation products is confirmed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Vibrational spectra of TPD molecule and few other possible products of photo-oxidation of TPD molecule, obtained by density functional theory, are compared to experimental IR spectra.

AB  - The photoluminescence (PL) quenching mechanism of UV light and air-exposed amorphous thin films of 4,4'-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (DPVBi), a well-known hole-transport material used in organic light-emitting diodes, is studied. Thin films of DPVBi are stable when exposed to UV light in vacuum but tend to degrade if oxygen is present simultaneously. This is evident from the changes in UV-vis absorption spectra of the latter, showing that degradation rate of DPVBi films is linearly proportional to both oxygen concentration and UV light intensity. Mass spectrometry study of such films revealed a number of different oxygen-containing molecules and fragments of DPVBi thus confirming apparent photo-oxidation process. Also, DFT study of molecular DPVBi with and without oxygen was carried out, the IR spectra calculated for the lowest energy molecules found and the results are compared with the experiment. The most sensitive to photo-oxidation is DPVBi photoluminescence, which decays exponentially with respect to the concentration of photo-oxidized DPVBi molecules (impurities). The PL quantum yield of DPVBi thin film drops to a half of its original value for 0.2% of the impurities present, at which point an average distance between DPVBi molecules (the donors) and photo-oxidized DPVBi species (acceptors) is an order of magnitude larger than the separation between two adjacent molecules. This implies a need for a long-range Forster energy transfer, which we rule out based on the lack of a donor-acceptor spectral overlap. The apparent discrepancy can be removed by postulating exciton self-diffusion in DPVBi thin films, for which there is supporting evidence in existing literature.

AB  - Owing to their low glass transition temperature, T-g, amorphous thin films of N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'bis(phenyl)benzidine (TPD) undergo morphological changes even at room temperature. It has been noticed previously that exposure to UV light can increase apparent T-g of TPD films and thus stabilize their morphology. However, the reason behind increase in structural stability was not examined at the time. Here we present evidence that TPD molecules undergo photo-oxidation in air when exposed to lambda approximate to 350 nm radiation and that less than 5% of the photo-oxidized species are needed to prevent dewetting of thin TPD films. We propose that photo-oxidized TPD species bind strongly to both ordinary TPD molecules and to terminal hydroxyl groups at the substrate surface, which decreases mobility of TPD molecules and makes thin TPD film less prone to morphology changes.

AB  - Triphenyldiamine (TPD) or N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzdine is a well known hole-transporting material often used in electroluminescent devices. In bulk material glass transition temperature TTPDg ~ 60°C [1] is rather low and for sufficiently thin films (thickness d ~ 30 nm) deposited on a fused-silica substrate, dewetting occurs even at room temperature [2]. Morphological changes, which are often related to low Tg, lead to degradation of device performance in which thin film s are incorporated. That is why it is interesting to find a way to stabilize thin films. Following a brief report [3] on increased stability of UV irradiated TPD films, we focused on elucidating the underlying mechanism, since an explanation of chemical changes on molecular level has not yet been given. Thin amorphous TPD films were produced in physical vapor deposition (PVO) process on a fused silica or glass substrates. Immediately after evaporation one half of each sample was exposed to UV light under ambient conditions in order to compare effects of irradiation on a single film. Illuminated and non-illuminated areas of films are characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Decrease in absorption bands intensity was observed after irradiation, indicating a chemical change in the sample. AFM study clearly shows that dewetting process at room temperature is stopped for irradiated samples thinner than 30nm. Illuminated samples remained stable even after few weeks of storage under ambient conditions and after 24h exposure to temperatures T > TTPDg. From proton nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry measurements, we find that photo-excited TPD reacts with oxygen from air, which leads to oxidation and hydroxylation of small amount of TPD molecules. W e conclude that increased thermal stability of irradiated
films is due to hydrogen bonding among TPD molecules and molecules formed in hydroxylation process.

electroluminescent devices whose glass transition temperature, Tg, depends on the film thickness.[1] For sufficiently thin films (d<30 nm), dewetting of amorphous TPD films deposited on a on fused silica or an ITO substrate occurs even at room temperature.[2] Following a brief report on increased thermal stability of UV irradiated TPD films,[3] we investigated the underlying mechanism responsible for it.

The obtained results, compared with measurements of the superfluid density in k-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu[N(CN)(2)]Br, strongly suggest that in these compounds the gap symmetry, influenced by cooling history, in the "ground state" with the least disorder is of the extended s-wave type. Possible physical reasons for agreement of d(x2-y2), and/or isotropic s-wave pairing with experirncntal results in more disordered "interniediate state" are discussed.

The sensibility of superconductivity to the sample preparation suggests that beside the symmetric d(x2-y2) gap, which appears to be consistent with some experiments (for the specific heat, see Nakazawa and Kanoda, Phys.
