The Royal Society of Chemistry:The deposition of Cu2ZnSnS(1-x)Sex thin films with tunable band gaps

ABSTRACT: Thin films of CZTSSe with band gaps ranging from 1.0 to 1.6 eV have been deposited using amolecular-precursor approach in Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (AACVD). The [S]:[Se] ratiohas been varied and plays a key role in controlling the structure, morphology, electrical and optical propertiesof the deposited films. A Vegard-type analysis on the collected results showed a direct correlation between theconcentration of selenium in the precursor mixture and key performance parameters of the deposited films

Correction: Nanoparticles of Cu2ZnSnS4 as performance enhancing additives for organic field-effect transistors

Correction for 'Nanoparticles of Cu2ZnSnS4 as performance enhancing additives for organic field-effect transistors' by Punarja Kevin et al., J. Mater. Chem. C, 2016, DOI: 10.1039/c6tc01650b

Nanoparticles of Cu2ZnSnS4 as performance enhancing additives for organic field-effect transistors

The addition of oleylamine coated Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles to solutions of an organic semiconductor used to fabricate organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) has been investigated. The oligothiophene-based small molecule 5T-TTF and the polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) were each applied in the transistors with various concentrations of CZTS (5-20%). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to characterise the surface morphology of the OFETs. The use of 5 and 10 wt% of the CZTS nanoparticles in 5T-TTF and P3HT solutions, respectively, appears to be a simple and effective way of improving OFET performance

Immunoglobulin G4 related disease isolated to the nasal cavity: a rare cause of nasal obstruction

Background: Immunoglobulin G4 related disease is a rare condition. Cases involving the sinonasal region are exceptionally uncommon. This paper describes a case of immunoglobulin G4 related disease isolated solely to the nasal cavity. Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: A 34-year-old man presented with painless, progressive bilateral nasal obstruction. Clinical examination and imaging findings demonstrated bilateral submucosal swelling of the anterior septum and right external nasal wall. Biopsy revealed immunoglobulin G4 related disease. The patient responded to oral corticosteroids initially, followed by long-term methotrexate. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first report in the literature of immunoglobulin G4 related disease isolated solely to the nasal cavity.
