• Angle-Dependent Photoluminescence Spectroscopy of Solution-Processed Organic Semiconducting Nanobelts 

      Wang, Mao; Gong, Yi; Alzina, Francesc; Sotomayor Torres, Clivia M.; Li, Hongxiang; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We report an anomalous anisotropy in photoluminescence (PL) from crystalline nanobelt of an organic small-molecule semiconductor, 6,13-dichloropentacene (DCP). Large-area well-aligned DCP nanobelt arrays are readily formed ...
    • Application of Synchrotron Radiation-Based Fourier-Transform Infrared Microspectroscopy for Thermal Imaging of Polymer Thin Films 

      Chávez-Ángel, Emigdio; Ng, Ryan C; Sandell, Susanne; He, Jianying; Castro-Alvarez, Alejandro; Sotomayor Torres, Clivia M.; Kreuzer, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The thermal imaging of surfaces with microscale spatial resolution over micro-sized areas remains a challenging and time-consuming task. Surface thermal imaging is a very important characterization tool in mechanical ...
    • Enhancement of Thermal Boundary Conductance of Metal–Polymer System 

      Sandell, Susanne; Maire, Jeremie; Chavez-Angel, Emigdio; Sotomayor Torres, Clivia M.; Kristiansen, Helge; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In organic electronics, thermal management is a challenge, as most organic materials conduct heat poorly. As these devices become smaller, thermal transport is increasingly limited by organic–inorganic interfaces, for ...
    • Raman antenna effect from exciton–phonon coupling in organic semiconducting nanobelts 

      Wang, Mao; Gong, Yi; Alzina, Francesc; Svoboda, Ondrej; Ballesteros, , Belén; Sotomayor Torres, Clivia M.; Xiao, Senbo; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The highly anisotropic interactions in organic semiconductors together with the soft character of organic materials lead to strong coupling between nuclear vibrations and exciton dynamics, which potentially results in ...
    • Thermoreflectance techniques and Raman thermometry for thermal property characterization of nanostructures 

      Sandell, Susanne; Chavez-Angel, Emigdio; El Sachat, Alexandros; He, Jianying; Sotomayor Torres, Clivia M.; Maire, Jeremie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The widespread use of nanostructures and nanomaterials has opened up a whole new realm of challenges in thermal management, but also leads to possibilities for energy conversion, storage and generation, in addition to ...
