Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals for light-emitting devices : from materials to device perspectives by Shendre, Sushant

“…A combination of the peripheral edge passivation through crown growth and a gradiently alloyed shell achieving flat surface capping, while also suppressing Auger recombination by smoothening the interface electrostatic potential, leads to the increased PL QY and makes surface chemical robustness possible. …”

Indefinite metamaterials for optical applications by Bisht, Ankit

“…Further, fabrication of diffraction-limited objects for both Superlensing (slits on film) and hyperlensing (slits on curved Cr-caps) are presented. These results are important for making progress in the realization of real-time bio-molecular imaging systems, eliminating the need for near-field scanning, destructive electron microscopy and various image post-processing techniques.…”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…Using the National Pupil Database and a full cohort of UK pupils (N=590,092), our analysis tracked a sample of 1,490 pupils permanently excluded in year 11 of the English education system in 2018/19. Using capped GCSE points as the academic attainment variable, we find that permanently excluded pupil scores were nearly 25 points lower than their non-permanently excluded peers. …”

Investigation of soil-structure interaction for deep excavations by Hensman, P

“…The deep excavation was supported by a complex ’combi-wall’ cofferdam, a reinforced concrete (RC) capping beam, and two levels of internal bracing, and its performance was assessed through measured wall deflections, bracing member loads, and site and bunker water levels. …”

In vitro anti-cancer and antimicrobial effects of manganese oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Glycyrrhiza uralensis leaves extract on breast cancer cell lines by Althobiti, Maryam Musleh, Alzahrani, Badr, Elderdery, Abozer Y., Alzerwi, Nasser A. N., Rayzah, Musaed, Elkhalifa,, Ahmed M. E., Idrees, Bandar, Bakhsh, Ebtisam, Alabdulsalam, Abdulrahim A., Mohamedain, A., Kumar, Suresh S., Mok, Pooi Ling

“…The leaf extract of GU contains bioactive molecules that act as a reducing or capping agent to form Mn2O3 NPs. Various analytical techniques were used to characterize the physiochemical properties of PF-127-coated Mn2O3 NPs, including spectroscopy (ultralight-Vis, Fourier transform infrared, photoluminescence), electron microscopy (field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron diffracted X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), and dynamic light scattering. …”
