“…An increase in carrier concentration enhances the plasmon resonance effect, leading to the optical coupling between incident photons and free electrons, thereby increasing the reflectance in the NIR range. [53,55] The plasmon wavelength decreases from 759 nm in the structure with 15 nm top and bottom Ag thicknesses to 664 nm in the structure with a 20 nm top Ag thickness. This decrease is attributed to the increase in carrier concentration with increasing Ag thickness, supporting the relationship between carrier concentration and plasmonic frequency.…”

Is it possible to achieve efficient energy control without it being visible? If it could, it would enable human to produce energy in a transparent manner and manage energy usage intelligently by reducing consumption through building and vehicle windows, and other structures. Herein, thin films are created that are highly transparent and can filter light by selecting specific wavelengths. The films consist of multiple layers of ITO/Ag/ITO/Ag/ITO (IAIAI) that are designed to reflect light selectively using the Bragg reflection effect. These films are able to block an average of 89.6% of near‐infrared light in the 800–1400 nm range, while maintaining a high optical transparency of 69.2% (±0.1%) at 550 nm with an excellent sheet resistance value of 1.06 Ω □−1. The IAIAI structure is also used as electrodes for transparent photovoltaic (TPV) devices, allowing for the collection of photogenerated carriers while ensuring overall optical transparency. ZnO/NiO‐based TPV devices using IAIAI films as transparent conducting electrodes are found to have a high open‐circuit voltage value of 271 mV with a short‐circuit current density value of 1.55 mA cm−2. Thus, the multifunctional IAIAI films offer a range of possibilities for transparent energy devices.

An organic 5‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐3‐ium‐4‐carboxybutanoate (5MIC) co‐crystal is grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique (SEST) at room temperature. The 5MIC is synthesized using 4‐methylimidazole and glutaric acid in a 1:1 ratio using methanol as a solvent. The 5MIC crystal lattice parameters are identified using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The experimental X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and DFT structural parameter values have good correlations. The intermolecular interactions of the 5MIC crystal are found using Hirshfeld surface and 2D fingerprint plots. The computed C–N stretching vibration of the imidazole ring is observed at 1498, 1233, and 1064 cm−1. The HOMO is located on 4‐methylimidazole moiety of 5MIC molecule. Densities of state are used to find out the molecular orbital compositions of the 5MIC molecule. Mulliken analysis shows that the C13 (−0.86) atom has the lowest negative charge. The MEP surface color coded of 5MIC lies between 7.950 e−3 and −7.950 e−3. The 5MIC molecule has four types of intermolecular transitions. The first‐order hyperpolarizability (β) value of 5MIC molecule is 5.48×10−30 esu. The 5MIC crystal is thermaly stable up to 146 °C. The photoluminescence emission is observed from 400 to 600 nm. The 5MIC crystal shows SHG characteristics.
