TL;DR: In this article, the chemical and electronic structure of the interface between aluminum and several proto-typical conjugated systems is investigated with a combined experimental and theoretical approach, which consists of following the evolution of the polymer surface during the early stages of aluminum deposition, with X-ray and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopies (XPS, UPS).

TL;DR: In this article, the energy cost for dangling bond formation in Fullerene-like Carbon Nitride and Phosphorus carbide (FL-CPx) as well as their amorphous counterparts has been calculated within the framework of Density Functional Theory and compared with surface water adsorption measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, the decay of photoexcitations in polythiophene chains has been studied in solid solutions of the polymer from room temperature to 4 K. A strong blue shift of the emission spectrum is observed in th...

TL;DR: It is shown that both the optB86b/vdWDF and rev/VDWDF2 functionals describe adsorption heights with an accuracy of 0.1 Å, compared to experimental values, and are concluded as reliable methods of choice for related systems.

TL;DR: A semiclassical model for studying charge transport in a two-dimensional molecular lattice is presented and applied to both a well ordered system and a system with disorder, finding that the parameter space for which the polaron is moving through the system is quite restricted.
