description: By a condensation of aliphatic amine containing adamantyl groups (amantadine, memantine, or 3-amino-1-adamantanol) and 5-fluorosalicylaldehyde, three new Schiff base ligands, HL1–3, were synthesized. One Schiff base, zinc(II) chloride, and NaOH were stirred in anhydrous methanol generating three new zinc(II) complexes, C34H38F2N2O2Zn (1), C38H46F2N2O2Zn (2), and C34H38F2N2O4Zn (3), respectively. These complexes were characterized by melting point, elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, ultraviolet–visible spectrum, 1H NMR analysis, thermal analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that 1 and 3 crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c, but 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group Pbca. Each asymmetric unit in 1 is composed of one zinc(II) and two deprotonated ligands; each asymmetric unit in 2 is constituted of one zinc(II), two deprotonated ligands as well as one dichloromethane. Each asymmetric unit in 3 is made up of one zinc(II), two deprotonated ligands, one methanol, and one lattice water. The central zinc(II) in 1–3 is four-coordinate via two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms from the corresponding Schiff base ligands, forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The antibacterial activities of the three Schiff base ligands and the corresponding complexes against two gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and a gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, were tested.

description: Consider a complete discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ with quotient field $F$ and finite residue field. Then the inclusion map $\mathcal{O} \hookrightarrow F$ induces a map $\hat{\mathrm{K}}^\mathrm{M}_*\mathcal{O} \to \hat{\mathrm{K}}^\mathrm{M}_*F$ on improved Milnor K-theory. We show that this map is an isomorphism in degrees bigger or equal to 3. This implies the Gersten conjecture for improved Milnor K-theory. This result is new in the $p$-adic case.

The Prevalence of Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating in Nutrition Student and Dietitians
Creators: name: Eckhoff, Demi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: An eating disorder is a “persistent disturbed eating behaviors that result in altered consumption or absorption of food and physical or psychological dysfunction” while orthorexia nervosa is an “obsession with eating healthy food and avoiding unhealthy food”.1, 3 This literature review collected and examined 29 papers. Eighteen of the papers were considered to be pertinent to the subject.  Of the eighteen, thirteen papers demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between nutrition students and dietitians and being at high risk for an eating disorder.5, 6, 8,  Dietetic students were two times as likely to have an eating disorder than their non-dietetic counterparts, with eating disorders affecting 12.9% of dietitians.6, 16  Furthermore, 49.5% of dietitians had symptoms of orthorexia nervosa.6 Around 90% of nutrition students had body image dissatisfaction and 83% desired to lose weight.5 The causality of this occurrence cannot be determined, however, 32.7% of nutrition students chose the field due to personal experience.28 Due to mixed findings, it is not known if increased nutrition knowledge heightens the eating disorder or if increased knowledge helps to create a healthier relationship with food. 8, 13, 16, 21, 22, 23 Many interventions have been suggested including screening students for eating disorders prior to admission of the nutrition program, providing plenty of opportunities for students to self-reflect about their relationship with food, exposing students to campus counseling if needed, and encouraging the students to engage in eating disorder awareness week, and providing cognitive dissonance programs.6-10 Conversations need to start to destigmatize eating disorders and the mental health taboo.  The first intervention suggested has some ethical issues associated with the execution.9, 29 Future research is critical to investigate the etiology of this occurrence and to develop an effective intervention is crucial.

description: Embedding of the 5-dimensional (5D) space of the Bohr Hamiltonian with a deformation-dependent mass (DDM) into a 6-dimensional (6D) space shows that the free parameter in the dependence of the mass on the deformation is connected to the curvature of the 5D space, with the special case of constant mass corresponding to a flat 5D space. Comparison of the DDM Bohr Hamiltonian to the 5D classical limit of Hamiltonians of the 6D interacting boson model (IBM), shows that the DDM parameter is proportional to the strength of the pairing interaction in the U(5) (vibrational) symmetry limit, while it is proportional to the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction in the SU(3) (rotational) symmetry limit, and to the difference of the pairing interactions among s, d bosons and d bosons alone in the O(6) (gamma-soft) limit. The presence of these interactions leads to a curved 5D space in the classical limit of IBM, in contrast to the flat 5D space of the original Bohr Hamiltonian, which is made curved by the introduction of the deformation-dependent mass.

description: Terahertz (THz) field pulses can now be applied in Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (THz-STM) junction experiments to study time resolved dynamics. The relatively slow pulse compared to the typical electronic time-scale calls for approximations based on a time-scale separation. Here, we contrast three methods based on non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF): (i) the steady-state, adiabatic results, (ii) the lowest order dynamic expansion in the time-variation (DE), and (iii) the auxiliary mode (AM) propagation method without approximations in the time-variation. We consider a concrete THz-STM junction setup involving a hydrogen adsorbate on graphene where the localized spin polarization can be manipulated on/off by a local field from the tip electrode and/or a back-gate affecting the in-plane transport. We use steady-state NEGF combined with Density Functional Theory (DFT-NEGF) to obtain a Hubbard model for the study of the junction dynamics. Solving the Hubbard model in a mean-field approximation, we find that the near-adiabatic first order dynamical expansion provides a good description for STM voltage pulses up to the 1 V range.

Le immagini nei libri di storia per la scuola primaria

Year: 2015

description: Il presente saggio, a partire dall’analisi di un corpus di libri di storia per la scuola primaria, vuole comprendere come e quanto le immagini possano essere portatrici di sapere e quanto invece possano ingenerare stereotipi e misconoscenze negli alunni. Le pagine dei manuali sono sempre più ricche di elementi iconografici, probabilmente per rispondere alla modalità di apprendimento simultanee e proprie dei ragazzi dell’era digitale. Tuttavia questi elementi non sono autopoietici rispetto al sapere storico, ma richiedono una didattica specializzata per la loro decodifica ed interpretazione. Le immagini, infatti, possono essere utilizzate come fonti, secondo metodologie di ricerca laboratoriale, oppure possono essere mediatori di saperi storici, ovvero strumenti portatori di operazioni significative finalizzate allo sviluppo di competenze. Spesso però negli usi editoriali sono poco significative sul piano cognitivo, non utili al docente per una trasposizione didattica che metta gli alunni nella condizione di pensare storicamente.

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a public health emergency of global magnitude with the resultant mortality rate projected at 10 million fatalities by 2050 (Lim et al., 2019). The cost of treating resistant microorganisms has also significantly risen with evidence from the United States revealing a twofold increase between 2002 and 2015 (Thorpe, Joski, & Johnston, 2018). According to the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance is a preventable consequence of antibiotics’ misuse and overuse arising from a malfunctioning primary healthcare system (WHO, 2018). Although multiple interventions for mitigating AMR exist (Wilkinson, Ebata, & Macgregor, 2019), their implementation has not effectively addressed the problem. By focussing on Clostridium difficile and Klebsiella pneumoniae, we explore the widely researched topic of AMR specifically on the effectiveness of interventions targeting the drug resistant pathogens. This scoping review is relevant because it expands the breadth of existing reviews by mapping out recent evidence on interventions for reducing Clostridium difficile and Klebsiella pneumoniae transmissions within healthcare settings. Notably, we will examine the amount of research on antimicrobial stewardship interventions aimed at optimizing antimicrobial agents against Clostridium difficile and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

description: Context. Accurate photometry with ground based solar telescopes requires characterization of straylight. Scattering in Earth's atmosphere and in the telescope optics are potentially significant sources of straylight, for which the point spread function (PSF) has wings that reach very far. This kind of straylight produces an aureola, extending several solar radii off the solar disk. Aims. We want to measure such straylight using the ordinary science instrumentation. Methods. We scanned the intensity on and far off the solar disk by use of the science cameras in several different wavelength bands on a day with low-dust conditions. We characterized the far wing straylight by fitting a model to the recorded intensities involving a multi-component straylight PSF and the limb darkening of the disk. Results. The measured scattered light adds an approximately constant fraction of the local granulation intensity to science images at any position on the disk. The fraction varied over the day but never exceeded a few percent. The PSFs have weak tails that extend to several solar radii but most of the scattered light originates within ~1'. Conclusions. Far-wing scattered light contributes only a small amount of straylight in SST data. Other sources of straylight are primarily responsible for the reduced contrast in SST images.

description: The population of the world is increasing rapidly, and it is challenging to fulfill the nutritional requirements of an overpopulated world. Therefore, it is necessary to identify underutilized food alternatives that are nutritious, have health-promoting properties, and are widely available. Seeds of mango, drumstick, and jamun are reported to have immense health promoting constituents. Despite this, they are largely discarded as waste due to lack of knowledge about their nutrient profile. Therefore, the present study aims at demonstrating the potential of nondestructive, rapid, and label free spectroscopic probes: attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, confocal micro Raman spectroscopy, and synchrotron radiation based X-ray fluorescence for determining the phytochemical and elemental profile of the mango, drumstick, and jamun seeds. The infrared and Raman spectra show that these seeds are rich sources of cell wall polysaccharides, amino acids, carbohydrates including glucose and starch, fatty acids, and antioxidants such as carotenoids and flavonoids. In addition, the X-ray fluorescence spectra show that these seeds are rich sources of calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, and manganese. The study highlights the potential of the nondestructive spectroscopic probes for the rapid, sensitive, cost effective and accurate assessment of nutrient profile of the seeds. The spectral information is highly beneficial for the administrators and nutrition scientists for assessment of diet quality, tackling malnutrition in an effective manner, and exploring use of these seeds.

description: We propose a 2-Higgs doublet model where the symmetry is extended by $S_{3}\otimes Z_{3}\otimes Z_{3}^{\prime }\otimes Z_{14}$ and the field content is enlarged by extra $SU(2)_{L}$ singlet scalar fields. $S_3$ makes the model predictive and leads to viable fermion masses and mixing. The observed hierarchy of the quark masses arises from the $Z_{3}^{\prime }$ and $Z_{14}$ symmetries. The light neutrino masses are generated through a type I seesaw mechanism with two heavy Majorana neutrinos. In the lepton sector we obtain mixing angles that are nearly tri-bi-maximal, in an excellent agreement with the observed lepton parameters. The vacuum expectation values required for the model are naturally obtained from the scalar potential, and we analyze the scalar sector properties further constraining the model through the $γγ$ decay channel and the $T$ and $S$ parameters.

description: Honey is a natural product of high nutritional value and of particular scientific and economic importance with unique sensory characteristics. Honey samples from different Greek regions and botanical origin were subjected to attenuated total reflectance – Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) to obtain the absorption fingerprint. Moreover, honey samples were analyzed spectrophotometrically to confirm and compare their in vitro antioxidant properties. Honeydew honeys presented significantly higher total phenolic content and antioxidant activity than the blossom varieties. Additionally, the FTIR spectra transformation revealed several bands, important for honey characterization based on geographical parameters (location, altitude), as well as for their botanical origin and individual sugar ratio. Honey classification according to certain FTIR bands was also evident utilizing a combination of statistical tools. Particularly, statistical analysis by means of the Python scipy.stats library, discriminant analysis by applying machine learning algorithms, and pairwise correlation were performed to FTIR band intensities for determining the optimum feature combinations to discriminate the geographical and botanical origins. Based upon the statistical analysis, carboxylic acids, amino acids, and the spectral region related to anomeric forms of carbohydrates or ring vibrations emerge as good indicators of honey geographical and botanical origins. The origins of the honey samples were predicted with high accuracy (93.55% and 96.77%, respectively) by applying principal component analysis (PCA). The results highlight the potential of FTIR coupled with spectral transformation and statistical analysis to evaluate honey origin and chemical profile.

description: We study the dispersion mechanism of Lieb mode excitations of both single and multi component ultra-cold atomic Bose gas, subject to a harmonic confinement through chirp management. It is shown that in some parameter domain, the hole-like excitations lead to the soliton's negative mass regime, arising due to the coupling between chirp momentum and Kohn mode. In low momenta region the trap considerably affects the dispersion of the grey soliton, which opens a new window to observe Lieb-mode excitations. Further, we extend our analysis to binary condensate, which yields usual shape compatible grey-bright soliton pairs. The inter-species interaction induces a shift in the Lieb-mode excitations, where the pair can form a bound state. We emphasize that the present model provides an opportunity to study such excitations in the low momenta regime, as well as the formation of bound state in binary condensate.

Deciding Fair Use

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: An often-overlooked question is who should decide the important questions of the day. This Article takes up the inquiry as it relates to copyright fair use. Conceptually, fair use is a public policy question. The better policy view is that fair use is a statutory right, a speech-protective safeguard, and a defense—but not an affirmative defense. Operationally, who decides fair use is a judicial policy question. Who decides a particular question is informed by the nature of the question. 
Courts are arbiters of law, and juries are arbiters of facts. For a mixed question of law and fact, who decides is driven by whether the question is more fact-like or more law-like. Categorizing such questions is, at its core, an allocative policy question. The policy answer is driven by the nature of the question, relative institutional skills, and the importance of the interest at stake. Properly seen as an affirmative right, and not an affirmative defense, the interests at stake in fair use cases are a user’s right to free expression balanced against a copyright holder’s statutory privilege. 
This Article contributes to the scholarly conversations by laying bare the reality that who decides the question of copyright fair use is nakedly political. Courts are actively wrestling with this unresolved policy question. The Seventh Amendment fashions a policy preference for juries to decide questions of fact. Moreover, history confirms a long tradition of relying on juries to make fair use determinations. But it is unclear if this tradition will continue. Without Supreme Court guidance, categorizing fair use as more law-like or more fact-like is so slippery and malleable that the Seventh Amendment ceases to be an influence—much less a command.

description: In this paper we present the measurement of the response of 50 $μ$m thin diamond detectors to 14 MeV neutrons. Such neutrons are produced in fusion reactors and are of particular interest for ITER neutron diagnostics. Among semiconductor detectors diamond has properties most appropriate for harsh radiation and temperature conditions of a fusion reactor. However, 300-500 $μ$m thick diamond detectors suffer significant radiation damage already at neutron fluences of the order of $10^{14}$ n/cm$^2$. It is expected that a 50 $μ$m thick diamond will withstand a fluence of $>10^{16}$ n/cm$^2$. We tested two 50 $μ$m thick single crystal CVD diamonds, stacked to form a "sandwich" detector for coincidence measurements. The detector measured the conversion of 14 MeV neutrons, impinging on one diamond, into $α$ particles which were detected in the second diamond in coincidence with nuclear recoil. For $^{12}C(n,α)^{9}Be$ reaction the total energy deposited in the detector gives access to the initial neutron energy value. The measured 14 MeV neutron detection sensitivity through this reaction by a detector of effective area 3$\times$3 mm$^2$ was $5\times 10^{-7}$ counts cm$^2$/n. This value is in good agreement with Geant4 simulations. The intrinsic energy resolution of the detector was found to be 240 keV FWHM which adds only 10 % to ITER's 14 MeV neutron energy spread.

Safeguarding Fair Use Through First Amendment’s Asymmetric Constitutional Fact Review
Creators: name: Reid, Amanda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Courts have recently overturned jury verdicts on the question of fair use.  While this Essay offers a new perspective on these cases, the main goal is more ambitious: a theoretical framework to heighten protection for the free expression interests of users of copyrighted works.  

This is the first work to offer a theoretical justification and limiting-principle for constitutional fact review, and to extend this framework to copyright fair use.  This thesis relies on the following three propositions.  First, constitutional fact review should be a one-way, asymmetric review, rather than a two-way, symmetric review.  The circuit courts of appeals are split on this issue, and the Supreme Court has declined to resolve the split.  Second, the copyright fair use analysis embeds First Amendment interests.  By embedding First Amendment issues within copyright fair use and denying independent First Amendment scrutiny, the Court has de facto constitutionalized the fair use inquiry.  And lastly, as a proxy for First Amendment interests, fair use should receive added protection of independent appellate review – like other speech-implicating cases. Specifically, this Essay argues copyright fair use should receive asymmetric, constitutional fact review.  The question of the appropriate standard of appellate review for fair use decisions is underexplored and undertheorized. This Essay fills that gap.

description: Il presente contributo intende riflettere sull’utilizzo di una tecnica artistica, il collage, all’interno della formazione degli insegnanti e degli educatori. Si tratta di una differente modalità di azione da parte dei formatori che è inserita nell’ambito dell’art-based research (McNiff, 2008), e dell’arts-informed research (Cole & Knowles, 2008). Per comprendere in modo approfondito questa scelta è necessario conoscere la nascita di questa tecnica e l’utilizzo che di questa hanno fatto vari artisti. Questo consente di delineare alcuni processi cognitivi riflessivi connessi alla pratica del collage che lo rendono strumento efficace in contesti formativi, soprattutto quando rivolti a insegnanti ed educatori. In chiusura, pertanto, si andranno presentando alcuni esempi di esperienze formative che hanno visto il ricorso al collage come strategia riflessiva.

Rational design of high performance conjugated polymers for organic solar cells
Creators: name: Yang, Liqiang

Publisher: name: American Chemical Society
Year: 2012

description: The research on the polymer-based solar cells
(PSCs) has attracted an increasing amount of attention in recent
years because PSCs pose potential advantages over mainstream
inorganic-based solar cells, such as significantly reduced
material/fabrication costs, flexible substrates, and light weight
of finished solar cells. The research community has made great
progress in the field of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer
solar cells since its inception in 1995. The power conversion
efficiency (PCE), a key parameter to assess the performance of
solar cells, has increased from 1% in the 1990s to over 8% just recently. These great advances are mainly fueled by the
development of conjugated polymers used as the electron-donating materials in BHJ solar cells. In this Perspective, we first
briefly review the progress on the design of conjugated polymers for polymer solar cells in the past 16 years. Since a conjugated
polymer can be arbitrarily divided into three constituting componentsthe conjugated backbone, the side chains, and the
substituentswe then focus on the rational design of conjugated polymers by separately discussing the influence of each
component on the physical and photovoltaic (PV) properties of these polymers. Special attention is paid to the design of donor−
acceptor type low-band-gap polymers because this approach is prevailing in the literature with its unique features. In doing so, we
strive to extract useful rules for the rational design of conjugated polymers with predictable properties. We conclude by proposing
future research opportunities to achieve even higher PCEs for PSCs.

In this paper, using a combination of some elementary number theory techniques with classical results on the Nagell-Ljunggren equation, the Catalan equation and some new properties of the Lucas sequence (\seqnum{A000204} in OEIS), we prove that if $k>1$ and $a,b$ are both prime powers with $\min\{a,b\}>2$, then the equation $(ak)^x+(bk)^y=((a+b)k)^z$ has only one positive integer solution $(x,y,z)=(1,1,1)$. The above result partially proves that Conjecture 1 presented in (Acta Arith. 2018, 184 (1): 37-49) is true.

Stable spatial and spatiotemporal optical soliton in the core of an optical vortex
Creators: name: Adhikari, S. K.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)
subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate a robust, stable, mobile, two-dimensional (2D) spatial and three-dimensional (3D) spatiotemporal optical soliton in the core of an optical vortex, while all nonlinearities are of the cubic (Kerr) type. The 3D soliton can propagate with a constant velocity along the vortex core without any deformation. Stability of the soliton under a small perturbation is established numerically. Two such solitons moving along the vortex core can undergo a quasi-elastic collision at medium velocities. Possibilities of forming such a 2D spatial soliton in the core of a vortical beam are discussed.
L’albo illustrato un crocevia di linguaggi
Creators: name: Barsotti, Susanna
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2015

description: L’albo illustrato è, per sua natura, caratterizzato dalla contaminazione di linguaggi diversi e dalla polisemia che nasce dal fruttuoso incontro tra testo e immagine, produttore di sempre nuovi testi. Esso si pone al servizio di un processo in cui la costruzione di una competenza testuale, fondata principalmente sul pensiero logico, deve procedere insieme alla stimolazione e all’utilizzo del pensiero analogico metaforico e combinatorio. I silent books dell’illustratrice sudcoreana Suzy Lee, che costituiscono quella che in un secondo momento l’autrice stessa definirà come la “trilogia del limite” (“L’onda”, “Ombra” e “Mirror”), si propongono quale terreno di interessante e prolifica analisi del meccanismo polialfabetico dell’albo illustrato con quel loro valicare i limiti anche fisici posti dal libro volgendo lo sguardo del lettore verso una nuova prospettiva.

description: We design and synthesize four fused-ring
electron acceptors based on 6,6,12,12-tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-
indacenobis(dithieno[3,2-b;2′,3′-d]thiophene) as the electron-
rich unit and 1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanones with 0−
2 fluorine substituents as the electron-deficient units. These
four molecules exhibit broad (550−850 nm) and strong
absorption with high extinction coefficients of (2.1−2.5) × 105
M−1 cm−1. Fluorine substitution downshifts the LUMO energy
level, red-shifts the absorption spectrum, and enhances
electron mobility. The polymer solar cells based on the
fluorinated electron acceptors exhibit power conversion
efficiencies as high as 11.5%, much higher than that of their
nonfluorinated counterpart (7.7%). We investigate the effects
of the fluorine atom number and position on electronic
properties, charge transport, film morphology, and photovoltaic properties.

description: Digitised collections of floral descriptions are a major source of trait information for digital identification systems. Mobilising species descriptions requires manual trait extraction and conversion to a structured format, which can significantly increase time and resource demands. We explored if a large language model (LLM) trained to process unstructured textual data could be used to automate and therefore accelerate the trait extraction pipeline for species identification.

description: Un inquiry learning space (ILS) è un ambiente di apprendimento online che offre agli studenti un set di strumenti digitali per guidarli nell’indagine scientifica attraverso smartphone e notebook. Un ILS può essere personalizzato con laboratori virtuali o remoti, risorse multimediali (video, testi, tabelle, documenti di Google, etc.), strumenti come calcolatrici, notepad e mappe concettuali. Nel presente contributo sono presentate le modalità per la progettazione di un ILS da parte degli insegnanti nonché un esempio di integrazione nel curricolo della scuola secondaria di primo grado; nell’ultima parte sono esposti i punti di forza e di debolezza di un ILS formulati da 26 insegnanti durante il Tirocinio Formativo Attivo.

L’efficacia degli strumenti di comunicazione visiva nel trattamento del disturbo dello spettro autistico: un’osservazione
Creators: name: Cassano, Andrea

description: I bambini e gli adolescenti con disturbo dello spettro autistico sono caratterizzati da difficoltà nell’area della comunicazione e dell’interazione sociale. In alcuni casi l’autismo si presenta anche con deficit nell’area linguistica. L’uso di strumenti di comunicazione visiva, come agende della giornata o task analysis realizzati con immagini e icone, appare fondamentale per la strutturazione di percorsi educativi destinati a questi soggetti. In questo articolo si presentano i risultati di un’osservazione effettuata su un campione di 20 bambini e preadolescenti con autismo combinato con deficit linguistico ed età cognitiva bassa, che hanno svolto un percorso educativo cognitivo-comportamentale caratterizzato da un forte utilizzo di strumenti di comunicazione visiva.

description: A new fluorinated nonfullerene acceptor, ITIC-Th1, has been designed and
synthesized by introducing fluorine (F) atoms onto the end-capping group
1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanone (IC). On the one hand, incorporation of
F would improve intramolecular interaction, enhance the push–pull effect
between the donor unit indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene and the acceptor
unit IC due to electron-withdrawing effect of F, and finally adjust energy levels
and reduce bandgap, which is beneficial to light harvesting and enhancing
short-circuit current density (JSC). On the other hand, incorporation of F
would improve intermolecular interactions through C-F···S, C-F···H, and
C-F···π noncovalent interactions and enhance electron mobility, which is
beneficial to enhancing JSC and fill factor. Indeed, the results show that fluorinated
ITIC-Th1 exhibits redshifted absorption, smaller optical bandgap, and
higher electron mobility than the nonfluorinated ITIC-Th. Furthermore, nonfullerene
organic solar cells (OSCs) based on fluorinated ITIC-Th1 electron
acceptor and a wide-bandgap polymer donor FTAZ based on benzodithiophene
and benzotriazole exhibit power conversion efficiency (PCE) as high as
12.1%, significantly higher than that of nonfluorinated ITIC-Th (8.88%). The
PCE of 12.1% is the highest in fullerene and nonfullerene-based single-junction
binary-blend OSCs. Moreover, the OSCs based on FTAZ:ITIC-Th1 show
much better efficiency and better stability than the control devices based on
FTAZ:PC71BM (PCE = 5.22%).
