Electronic Emition Properties of Bi Layer Novel Organic Semiconductor Systems

Abstract

The perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) and 1,4,5,8-naphthalene-tetracaboxylic-dianhydride (NTCDA) are planar pi-stacking organic molecules that have been shown to be excellent model compounds for studying the growth and optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductor thin films, particularly organic diodes. Some observations have shown that this molecules, particularly PTCDA a brick-like shaped molecule easily forms well-ordered films on various substrates due to its unique crystal structure which is characterized by flat lying molecules In this work we will explore some energetic and optical characteristics such as heats of formation, optic GAP energies, electronic transitions and others of novel tow layer systems of alternate layers of PTCDA and NTCDA by means of the semiempirical methods Parametric Model 3 (PM3) and Zerner's Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap (ZINDO/S) in Configuration Interaction mode.

Quantum Theory of Exciton Magnetic Moment: Interaction and Topological Effects

Combining magnetometry with optical spectroscopy has uncovered novel quantum phenomena and is emerging as a powerful probe of quantum materials. However, the theory of the magnetic response of excitons, correlated electron-hole pairs in insulators, remains incomplete due to insufficient treatment of electron-hole interactions and quantum geometric effects. In biased bilayer graphene, for instance, theoretical predictions of valley g-factors for p-excitons deviate from experiment by nearly an order of magnitude. Here, we develop a quantum theory of the exciton orbital magnetic moment, based on first-order perturbation theory within the GW plus Bethe-Salpeter Equation approach and a rigorous treatment of the position operator in the response of exciton states to a magnetic field. Our formalism reveals three distinct contributions that go beyond the heuristic approaches used in the literature: a Berry-phase-corrected single-particle electron and hole moment difference, a term from envelope-function winding linked to electron-hole relative motion, and a center-of-mass correction from exciton band quantum geometry, with the latter two being completely new effects not considered in previous studies. Our ab initio calculations yield results in excellent agreement with experiment, establishing the importance of interaction and quantum geometric effects in the magnetic response of excitons.

Floquet-Multiple Andreev Reflections

Floquet theory describes quantum systems governed by time-periodic Hamiltonians, much as Bloch theory describes spatially periodic solids. In voltage-biased multiterminal Josephson junctions, the Josephson relation causes superconducting phase differences to evolve periodically in time, thereby providing an intrinsic Floquet drive. In this Letter, we consider three-terminal Josephson junctions formed on a ballistic two-dimensional normal conductor with a continuum of electronic states. We show that the quartet and higher-order multipair processes yield characteristic Floquet-multiple Andreev reflection (Floquet-MAR) finite-bias conductance and noise resonances that are parameterized by the bias voltage and electrochemical potential. This microscopic picture opens a route toward implementing and probing Floquet-MAR physics in ballistic multiterminal Josephson junctions.

Anomalous Transverse Thomson Effect

We formulate the anomalous transverse Thomson effect (ATTE), the long-missing Thomson counterpart of the anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst effects. Its coefficient is not unique but depends on the electrical boundary condition: $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(j)}$, defined for a spatially uniform imposed current density, and $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(E)}$, defined for equipotential electrodes. Both are fully determined by the total anomalous Nernst coefficient (ANC) and its temperature dependence, while $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(E)}$ acquires an additional contribution from the temperature dependence of the longitudinal resistivity. This relation is model independent within local linear response and applies to the total ANC regardless of whether its microscopic origin is intrinsic or extrinsic. Using a massive Dirac model for Fe$_3$Sn$_2$, we show that Berry curvature near the gapped Dirac cones enhances the ANC-related contributions to $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(E)}$. In the low-temperature limit, both $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(j)}/S_{xy}^{\rm A}$ and $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(E)}/S_{xy}^{\rm A}$ approach a value of three. We further extract $τ_{\rm ATTE}^{(E)}$ from reported experimental data for CoS\(_2\), Co\(_3\)Sn\(_2\)S\(_2\) and CeCrGe\(_3\); for CeCrGe$_3$ it reaches approximately -20 $μV/K$, and we estimate the maximum achievable cold-side heat current density to assess its cooling potential. Because the ATTE can be evaluated directly from existing ANC and longitudinal resistivity data, it is readily testable without additional equipment or measurements.
