New insights into the diverse electronic phases of a novel vanadium dioxide polymorph : a terahertz spectroscopy study by Chia, Elbert E. M., Lourembam, James, Srivastava, Amar, La-o-vorakiat, Chan, Rotella, H., Venkatesan, T.

“…In VO2(B), a critical temperature of 240 K marks the appearance of a non-zero Drude term in the observed complex conductivity, indicating the evolution from a pure insulating state towards a metallic state. In contrast, the THz conductivity of the well-known VO2(M1) is well fitted only by a modification of the Drude model to include backscattering. …”

Molecular modulation of fluorene-dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide-based conjugated polymers for enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation under visible light by Dai, Chunhui, Gong, Xuezhong, Zhu, Xianglin, Xue, Can, Liu, Bin

“…Moreover, C12 was used for preparation of a composite film with TiO2 nanorod arrays via spin-coating to yield an approximately 11-fold higher anodic PEC activity than that of pure TiO2. Our results demonstrated the great potential of solution-processable conjugated polymers for facile construction of highly efficient PEC devices for water splitting.…”

A reconfigurable in-memory-computation architecture with in-situ update and shift capability by Liu, Yihe, Wang, Junjie, Liu, Shuang, Zhang, Xiaoyang, Sun, Mingyuan, Chen, Tupei, Liu, Yang

“…Compared with some existing related works which employ 2n bit cells for storing an n-bit value, the proposed structure in this work exhibits a O(n) complexity of area overhead, which means that only n bit cells are needed to store n-bit values, offering a significant improvement in silicon area usage. Compared to the purely digitally-controlled weight update schemes, the approach proposed in this work demonstrates an approximate 1.47× increase in power consumption. …”

Electrical and optoelectronic studies of semiconductor nanostructures by Wong, Jen It.

“…Besides, current conduction of the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure with different nc-Si concentrations embedded in Si3N4 thin films has been investigated and compared with pure Si3N4 thin films. It was shown that the pure Si3N4 thin film and the Si3N4 thin films embedded with nc-Si are dominated by different conduction mechanisms both at low and high electric fields. …”

Biodiesel purification from cellulose-containing materials by Lim, Leonard Chin Boon.

“…In addition, a commercial product containing cellulose-containing materials, Eco2Pure, was used for purification. Using a comparative approach and within financial and experimental limits, it was found that wood shavings, saw dust and orange peel could potentially be used for biodiesel purification while the use of coconut husk appears doubtful. …”
