    Tailor-made nanostructures bridging chaos and order for highly efficient white organic light-emitting diodes
    (London : Nature Publishing Group, 2019) Li, Y.; Kovačič, M.; Westphalen, J.; Oswald, S.; Ma, Z.; Hänisch, C.; Will, P.-A.; Jiang, L.; Junghaehnel, M.; Scholz, R.; Lenk, S.; Reineke, S.
    Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) suffer from notorious light trapping, resulting in only moderate external quantum efficiencies. Here, we report a facile, scalable, lithography-free method to generate controllable nanostructures with directional randomness and dimensional order, significantly boosting the efficiency of white OLEDs. Mechanical deformations form on the surface of poly(dimethylsiloxane) in response to compressive stress release, initialized by reactive ions etching with periodicity and depth distribution ranging from dozens of nanometers to micrometers. We demonstrate the possibility of independently tuning the average depth and the dominant periodicity. Integrating these nanostructures into a two-unit tandem white organic light-emitting diode, a maximum external quantum efficiency of 76.3% and a luminous efficacy of 95.7 lm W−1 are achieved with extracted substrate modes. The enhancement factor of 1.53 ± 0.12 at 10,000 cd m−2 is obtained. An optical model is built by considering the dipole orientation, emitting wavelength, and the dipole position on the sinusoidal nanotexture.

    Wireless magnetic-based closed-loop control of self-propelled microjets
    (San Francisco, CA : Public Library of Science, 2014) Khalil, I.S.M.; Magdanz, V.; Sanchez, S.; Schmidt, O.G.; Misra, S.
    In this study, we demonstrate closed-loop motion control of self-propelled microjets under the influence of external magnetic fields. We control the orientation of the microjets using external magnetic torque, whereas the linear motion towards a reference position is accomplished by the thrust and pulling magnetic forces generated by the ejecting oxygen bubbles and field gradients, respectively. The magnetic dipole moment of the microjets is characterized using the U-turn technique, and its average is calculated to be 1.3x10-10 A.m2 at magnetic field and linear velocity of 2 mT and 100 μm/s, respectively. The characterized magnetic dipole moment is used in the realization of the magnetic force-current map of the microjets. This map in turn is used for the design of a closed-loop control system that does not depend on the exact dynamical model of the microjets and the accurate knowledge of the parameters of the magnetic system. The motion control characteristics in the transient- and steady-states depend on the concentration of the surrounding fluid (hydrogen peroxide solution) and the strength of the applied magnetic field. Our control system allows us to position microjets at an average velocity of 115 μm/s, and within an average region-of-convergence of 365 μm.
