Photoinduced charge separation and recombination under distance, orientation, and spin controlled conditions by Jan W. Verhoeven, Michael N. Paddon-Row

“…In the present paper the limits will be investigated to which such short-circuiting can be prevented by the use of saturated hydrocarbon (alkane) type insulating structures. Furthermore, as will be shown, several typically molecular scale operating principles such as orbital symmetry and spin multiplicity control can allow the realisation of systems in which fast and efficient charge separation is combined with very slow charge recombination even when the distance between the D(onor) and A(cceptor) moieties is very small.…”

Thermal analysis and experimental design of PVDF-trfe-based pyroelectric sensors for infrared applications by Mohamed Behloul, Essaid Bousbiat, Dalila Yamani, Riyadh Bouddou, Nour Eddine Derguini, Ayodeji Olalekan Salau, Djamel Kendil, Sarra Adiche

“…In addition, the results also revealed that the 30 μm-thick PVDF-TrFE layers produced the highest pyroelectric efficiency, with a yield of 45 μC/m2-K. It was also found that incorporating a 2 μm air gap increased the current response by around 18 %, underlining the role of thermals, highlighting the efficiency of our design, and the contributions of each layer to the sensor performance.…”
