Controlled Growth and Reliable Thickness-Dependent Properties of Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Platelet Crystal by Niu, Lin, Zeng, Qingsheng, Shi, Jia, Cong, Chunxiao, Wu, Chunyang, Liu, Fucai, Zhou, Jiadong, Fu, Wei, Fu, Qundong, Jin, Chuanhong, Yu, Ting, Liu, Xinfeng, Liu, Zheng

“…Furthermore, from the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, the best optoelectronic performance of the perovskite platelet is attributed with thickness of ≈30 nm to its dominant longest lifetime (≈4.5 ns) of perovskite excitons, which means lower surface traps or defects. This work supplies an alternative to the synthesis of high-quality organic perovskite and their possible optoelectronic applications with the most suitable materials.…”

Improving the speed of variational quantum algorithms for quantum error correction by Zoratti, Fabio, De Palma, Giacomo, Kiani, Bobak, Nguyen, Quynh T., Marvian, Milad, Lloyd, Seth, Giovannetti, Vittorio

“…At variance with other quantum distances typically adopted in quantum information processing, QW1 lacks the unitary invariance property which makes it a suitable tool to avoid getting trapped in local minima. Focusing on a simple noise model for which an exact QEC solution is known and can be used as a theoretical benchmark, we run a series of numerical tests that show how, guiding the VQA search through the QW1, can indeed significantly increase both the probability of a successful training and the fidelity of the recovered state, with respect to the results one obtains when using conventional approaches.…”

An iGlu receptor antagonist and its simultaneous use with an anticancer drug for cancer therapy by Luo, Zhong, Li, Peizhou, Tan, Si Yu, Ang, Chung Yen, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhao, Yanli

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were employed as the delivery vehicle for both L1 and Dox by conjugating the iGlu receptor antagonist on the surface and encapsulating Dox within the mesopores. Dox was then trapped within the mesopores by functionalizing a redox-cleavable capping group on the MSNP surface, and it could be released upon exposure to the reductive glutathione. …”

Effect of post-deposition annealing on the interface electronic structures of Al2O3-Capped GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure by Duan, Tian Li, Pan, Ji Sheng, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…XPS study shows a decrease in the Ga 3d and N 1s core level binding energy after a high-temperature PDA, implying a decrease of the interface defect density and the associated positive trapped-charge. From Hall-effect measurement, the density and mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) are found to decrease and increase, respectively, after PDA, supporting the XPS results. …”
