Solar cells of metal-free phthalocyanine dispersed in polyvinyl carbazole. 1: Effects of the recrystallization of H2PC on cell characteristics
The development of an organic semiconductor solar cell and the effects of the recrystallization of metal free phthalocyanine (H2PC) on the characteristics of NESA/H2PC-PVK/Au sandwich cells were investigated. Alfa-H2PC sandwich cells showed photovoltage and photocurrent in a two direction opposite to that shown y as supplied H2PC cells, which consists mainly of beta-H2PC. Some difference was observed in the response times of the two cells. It is suggested that photocharacteristics change with the specific resistance of the H2PC, which is related to its crystal forms. In the cells with low resistance H2PC carriers are generated in H2PC by illumination, while in high resistance H2PC cells, carriers are generated in PVK which is sensitized with H2PC
Non-vanishing of -functions associated to cusp forms of half-integral weight
In this article, we prove non-vanishing results for -functions associated
to holomorphic cusp forms of half-integral weight on average (over an
orthogonal basis of Hecke eigenforms). This extends a result of W. Kohnen to
forms of half-integral weight.Comment: 8 pages, Accepted for publication in Oman conference proceedings

Interacting quantum rotors in oxygen-doped germanium
We investigate the interaction effect between oxygen impurities in
crystalline germanium on the basis of a quantum rotor model. The dipolar
interaction of nearby oxygen impurities engenders non-trivial low-lying
excitations, giving rise to anomalous behaviors for oxygen-doped germanium
(Ge:O) below a few degrees Kelvin. In particular, it is theoretically predicted
that Ge:O samples with oxygen-concentration of 10cm show (i)
power-law specific heats below 0.1 K, and (ii) a peculiar hump in dielectric
susceptibilities around 1 K. We present an interpretation for the power-law
specific heats, which is based on the picture of local double-well potentials
randomly distributed in Ge:O samples.Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures; to be published in Phys. Rev.
Arithmetic Spacetime Geometry from String Theory
An arithmetic framework to string compactification is described. The approach
is exemplified by formulating a strategy that allows to construct geometric
compactifications from exactly solvable theories at . It is shown that the
conformal field theoretic characters can be derived from the geometry of
spacetime, and that the geometry is uniquely determined by the two-dimensional
field theory on the world sheet. The modular forms that appear in these
constructions admit complex multiplication, and allow an interpretation as
generalized McKay-Thompson series associated to the Mathieu and Conway groups.
This leads to a string motivated notion of arithmetic moonshine.Comment: 36 page
