The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

SINOPSIS

In this study, we simulated piezoelectric enhancements of p − n core-shel nanowires with an inner-core cylinder of n-type ZnO and an outer-shell cylinder of p-type poly-3-hexylthiophene. Compared with conventional n-type ZnO nanowires, the piezoelectric potential of p − n core-shell nanowires with the same dimensions (core part; n-ZnO), calculated by subtracting the electrical potential of the uncompressed core-shell nanowires [φele (Tz = 0)] from that of compressed nanowires (φtotalele) according to φp − npiezo = φtotal eleφele (Tz = 0), are enhanced by more than a factor of 10. As the magnitude of vertical external compression (Tz) is varied from 0 to −9×107 N/m2, the piezoelectric potential of the model system increases. This improvement in the piezoelectric potential is attributed to the presence of a depletion zone at the p − n interface (space-charge region), which reduces the carrier screening of the piezoelectric potential by removing free carriers. Our results suggest that the structure proposed here for p − n core-shell nanowires could improve the performance of photovoltaic systems.
