We have demonstrated theoretically and experimentally that the current induced by an interference pattern moving at constant velocity can be used to determine the ion mobility and activation energy in perovskite semiconductors. The frequency dependence of the signal has features predicted by theory: the high-frequency peak corresponds to the electron/hole photoconductivity relaxation process, and the low-frequency peak occurs when the velocity of the interference pattern synchronizes with the ion motion; by determining the peak’s position, it becomes possible to estimate the ion mobility. The values of ion mobility and activation energy agree with the data reported in the literature.

The lead-free halide-based perovskite is widely used because of its superior performance, long carrier diffusion length, narrow band emission, and tuneable bandgap. However, improvement of carrier lifetime and stability is the prime challenge for such perovskites. Therefore, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is used as an additive material in CsSnI3 pristine perovskites to improve the optical, electronic, and structural properties. In this work, we synthesized the perovskite and rGO nanocomposite using the hot injection technique. We have performed photoluminescence (PL), ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to understand the effect of rGO in Perovskite. In PL, a peak is found at ~ 782 nm for as-synthesis perovskite and after the 1% rGO incorporation, the peak is shifted towards the higher wavelength around ~ 811 nm. In XRD, the multiple diffraction peaks for the CsSnI3 perovskite and rGO nanocomposite are observed at 27.46°, 39.41°, 48.48°, 56.93°, and 64.38°, which originated from the indexing planes of (221), (112), (540), (082), and (053), respectively. The dominant peak (221) shifts towards the higher angle (0.07°) after 5% rGO incorporation. The UV-Vis spectroscopy confirms bandgap reduction after rGO incorporation in pristine CsSnI3 perovskite. The bandgaps of 1.64 eV and 1.56 eV are calculated from Tauc’s plot for CsSnI3 and rGO/CsSnI3 nanocomposite, respectively. Therefore, the rGO incorporation in the pristine CsSnI3 perovskite demonstrates highly promising properties, which opens the gateway towards the improvement of optoelectronics device performance.

Metamaterials have subwavelength periodic structures that manipulate electromagnetic waves. Typically, difficulties are encountered in fabricating this type of materials due to the sophisticated techniques involved in their creation. Bubble domains in chiral nematic liquid crystals present a skyrmion lattice which has periodicity regions along a cell, which allow the observation of unconventional light-matter interaction. However, the interaction dynamics between vortices presents a challenge to ensure the order of the lattice throughout the space it covers. In this work we study the use of liquid crystal microdroplets as potential wells and the clustering of topological defects in them.

Coaxial- and counter-optical setups for laser ultrasonics using a photorefractive liquid crystal were fabricated. The laser ultrasonics involves irradiating an object with a laser pulse to produce an ultrasonic vibration, and then using another laser beam to detect the vibration. The phase of the laser beam reflected from the object is shifted by the ultrasonic vibration. By using liquid crystals with photorefractive properties, the resulting phase shift of the laser beam reflected from the material can be detected. Compared to traditional laser ultrasonic methods, this system offers a simpler optical setup and allows for more precise measurements that are unaffected by environmental vibrations.

The development of multifocal microlens array has paid many attentions recently with the applications of plenoptic cameras, stereoscopic displays, and beam homogenizers. A variety of technologies have been explored and applied to produce multifocal microlens arrays, however, most multifocal microlens arrays are limited due to structural modification, long fabrication time, and lack of tunability. In this study, we present a novel method of fabricating a tunable multifocal liquid crystal microlens array (TMLCMA) using the three-electrode structure composed of a large hole, small-hole array, and planar electrodes. Liquid crystals with positive dielectric anisotropy were filled in the TMLCMA sample and aligned planar with antiparallel rubbing treatment. A modal layer was deposited on the surface of the large hole electrode to assist in extending the fringing electric field into the TMLCMA center. The fringing electric field induced by the large hole electrode results in the microlenses have different focal lengths from the TMLCMA border to the center. The TMLCMA can be worked in concave and convex modes on the basis of signal control schemes. The beam patterns through the TMLCMA are observed and the phase shifts of the microlenses at various positions are reported. The optical imaging of the TMLCMA has been demonstrated practically. The results reveal that the proposed method is able to produce a tunable multifocal microlens array via a simple fabrication and addressing scheme. This study has proposed a strong basis for the further development of microlens array, and the optical characteristics of the TMLCMA are promising to applications of optical fields.

By the application of electromagnetic fields onto an homeotropic nematic liquid crystal cell it is possible to induce vortices, which are particle-type defects with topological charge. The dynamics of the vortices is such that topological charge of the system is conserved, so these defects are always induced in pairs that annihilate after a short amount of time. Using a magnetic ring it is possible to induce a stable vortex triplet that allows the study of its dynamics, which is of an oscillatory kind when a low-frequency voltage is applied. Experimentally, we determine the region of parameters where the vortex triplet is stable, unstable, or becomes a lattice of vortices. We propose an amplitude equation which allow us to describe the vortex dynamics, and numerical simulations show agreement with experimental observations.

Nowadays the prevention of dementia is a challenge for humanity. There are some preventive intervention programs for dementia, which are mainly based in the modification of multicomponent lifestyles such as: physical and cognitive activity, weight control, metabolic-comorbidity control and social support. Recently, Mind and Movement Program to have Cognitive Health is a collaborative methodological proposal between the countries Mexico, Japan and Canada, which consists of three components: aerobic exercise; aerobic and cognitive exercises, as well as a motivation program. For performing aerobic and cognitive exercises, the monitoring of vital signs in real time is necessary through a statistical analysis of the data of each patient, in such a way that the doctor knows the state of health of the patient. As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the original program to acquire experimental data underwent modifications. Since the older adults were isolated, they were required to do their physical exercises at home, implementing a remote monitoring system based on a wearable smart band, which was properly developed to monitor the vital signs for each patient. Hence, a personalized quantification of the oxygen saturation and cardiac pressure based on light sensors and pressure sensors, respectively, was measured and monitored in real time. On the other hand, predefined programming based on Artificial intelligence, provides certain advantages for easy handling by the older adults. Currently, we are working along with a hospital, where doctors involved in the program are testing the prototype for the validation of the wearable smart bands.

Organic photodetectors (OPDs) hold great promise for use in flexible electronics as they can be designed on substrates featuring various shapes and using cost-effective solution-processed methods. Organic conjugated materials offering two or more distinct optoelectronic functions are especially appealing here as they provide multifunctionality while also retaining the ease of fabrication and low-cost advantage. One such material is TPA-azaBODIPY-TPA that has been shown to feature ideal charge transfer properties and excitation energy levels. In our recent work, we demonstrated the versatile nature of this material acting as either a charge transport interlayer in perovskite solar cells, or as a light-absorbing layer in OPDs. TPA-azaBODIPY-TPA-based solar cellsshowed a 60 % increase in power conversion efficiency when compared to a control device using a conventional interlayer PEDOT:PSS. Having also demonstrated the successful utilization of TPA-azaBODIPY-TPA in OPDs manufactured on glass substrates, we further explore its applications in the design and fabrication of flexible OPDs for near-infrared sensing. Fabricated devices on flexible substrates show a near-infrared spectral responsivity of 49 mA W-1 at 730 nm, a high linear dynamic range of 110 dB and fast temporal responses below 100 μs. With robust thermal stability as well as excellent solubility and processability, TPA-azaBODIPY-TPA is found to be perfect candidate for the next-generation of smart optoelectronic flexible devices.

Among different conducting polymers, PEDOT:PSS has been used for making organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) due to the remarkable stability and the electrochemical properties of the polymer. With the fast-growing market for wearable electronics, the application of OECTs has been proposed for wearable sensors. However, the majority of OECTs have a planar design. Recently, we have demonstrated the feasibility of fabricating OECTs on sewing threads. This work has focused on studying the effect of thread materials on the performance of fiber-based OECTs made for wearable pH sensors. Such sensors can be used to collect metabolic information from the body of a patient by analyzing the pH of perspiration. The three most commercially common different kinds of threads were used to make OECTs with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel as the electrolyte. Using 100% cotton, 25% cotton-75% polyester, and 32% cotton-68% polyester threads were used to fabricate and then characterize the transistor. Threads were coated with PEDOT:PSS polymer to use as a channel then use a Silver coated thread as a gate and a PVA gel electrolyte. Devices were tested by applying different voltages to the transistor terminals and monitoring the current through the PEDOT:PSS. The best signal was obtained from the device made on 25% cotton-75% polyester thread. The experimental results showed a promising approach that can lead to a good wearable pH sensor on human perspiration.
