High-efficiency top-emissive white-light-emitting organic electrophosphorescent devices
We demonstrate an efficient, top-emissive, white-light-emitting organic device (WOLED) employing the phosphorescent emitters, tris-(1-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato,N,C2)iridium(III) and iridium(III) ...

Pseudo-metal-base transistor with high gain
We use evaporated C60 fullerene as emitter, a conducting polymer blend as base, and Si as collector in a vertical transistor structure similar to a metal-base transistor. The conducting polymer blend ...

An all soliton transistor is introduced which uses a train of soliton-like vortices inside long Josephson junctions to turn off the movement of another train of vortices. In our practical realization, a long Josephson junction injects vortices into a reverse-biased Josephson fluxonic diode, corresponding to the ON state of the transistor. Injecting antivortices through a third long junction annihilates vortices before they could reach the Josephson fluxonic diode. This corresponds to the OFF state. Experimental results on the successful operation of this transistor as a NOT gate are provided. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
