Atomic-scale mechanisms of defect- and light-induced oxidation and degradation of InSe by Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhang, Yong-Wei

“…Moreover, under ambient conditions, the splitting of O2 enables the formation of substitutional (apical) oxygen atomic species, which further cause the trapping and subsequent rapid splitting of H2O molecules and ultimately the formation of hydroxyl groups. …”

Hole array enhanced dual-band infrared photodetection by Suo, Fei, Tong, Jinchao, Chen, Xiren, Xu, Zhengji, Zhang, Dao Hua

“…In this work, we propose a photon-trapping hole-array structure integrated in a nip InAsSb-GaSb heterostructure for the enhancement of the photoresponse in both near- and mid-infrared regions. …”

Three-dimensional modeling of near-field beam profiles from grating couplers using a deep neural network by Lim, Yu Dian, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…Integrated silicon photonics (SiPh) gratings have been widely studied for the optical addressing of trapped ions. As the formfactor of ion traps reduces, the ion-trapping height decreases, and may unavoidably fall into the reactive near-field region of SiPh gratings. …”

Modeling of functional materials : perovskite solar cells by Aruj Shukla

“…However, for a more holistic analysis of perovskite light harvesters as replacement to the existing TiO2 nano particles, a more nuanced modeling and analysis which incorporates a study of transport properties such as trapping effects (for further spike in efficiency), photo catalytic reaction kinetics and surface & bulk defects (for easier fabrication) is demanded as an integral part of future research plans.…”

Electronics and optoelectronic applications of Van Der Waals heterostructures by Yang, Jian

“…By comparing the photocurrent of exposed and h-BN-encapsulated MoS2 photo-FETs, I found that the trapping states from the interfaces between MoS2 and SiO2 is the main reason for prolonged photoresponse. …”

Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…Unique solutions are obtained with the delocalized D1 for different initial conditions when the transfer integral is 20 times the phonon frequency at the zone center, implying the absence of any self-trapping discontinuity. The scaled correlation variance is found to fit satisfactorily well with the predictions of the perturbation theories.…”

Characterising the iron dependence of T-cells by Teh, MR

“…Interestingly, exogenous aspartate substantially rescues the proliferation of iron deprived CD8+ T-cells suggesting that endogenous aspartate sources are unusable, possibly due to trapping of aspartate within the mitochondria. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that iron deprivation impairs T-cell biochemistry at multiple nodes providing insight as to how metabolic and iron modulatory interventions could be coupled to augment or suppress immunity.…”

Range expansion of a declining forest species, the Western Gray Squirrel (Sciurus griseus), into semi-arid woodland by Sultaire, SM, Montgomery, RA, Jackson, PJ, Millspaugh, JJ

“…Using a network of remote camera traps deployed across the Sierra Nevada–Great Basin ecotone in northwestern Nevada, we detected western gray squirrels across 16 of 100 camera-trapping sites. …”

A diminished large carnivore guild with contrasting species-habitat associations persists outside national parks in Namibia's central-eastern landscape by Verschueren, S, Hofmann, T, Briers-Louw, WD, Kakove, M, Leirs, H, Bauer, H, Marker, L, Cristescu, B

“…Through targeted searches for intensive-use areas and pooling detections across camera trap stations, we reliably detected the most elusive carnivores. …”

Influence of calcination temperature on nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized by thermal treatment by Manal, Ahmed Hashem

“…In the present work, crystalline nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles have been synthesized using a simple thermal treatment method from a well-mixed solution containing only nickel nitrate as a metal precursor, polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a capping agent, and deionized water as a solvent before proceeded by drying at 80 oC for 24 h, grounding, and calcination at different temperatures range from 500 to 800 oC. …”

Experimental investigation on the effect of masked multiple passes abrasive waterjet machining surface texturing on coefficient of friction by Hafiz, Husin, Mohd Nazir, Mat Nawi, Asmelash, Mebrahitom Asmelash, Kushendarsyah, Saptaji, Azmir, Azhari

“…According to the findings, there is less friction in craters with greater densities because there are more craters in the contact zone, which improves the trapping of debris particles and reduces friction, when the crater density rises from 4% to 18%, there is a greater chance of worn debris becoming trapped, which reduces friction. …”

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS_2) as a broadband saturable absorber for ultra-fast photonics by Zhang, H, Lu, S B, Zheng, J, Du, J, Wen, S C, Tang, D Y, Loh, K P

“…To explore its potential applications in ultrafast photonics, we fabricated a passive mode locker for ytterbium-doped fibre laser by depositing few-layered MoS2 onto the end facet of optical fiber by means of an optical trapping approach. Our laser experiment shows that few-layer MoS2-based mode locker allows for the generation of stable mode-locked laser pulse, centered at 1054.3 nm, with a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of 2.7 nm and a pulse duration of 800 ps. …”

Probing the toxicity mechanism of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on bacteria by Hartono, Maria Regina, Kushmaro, Ariel, Chen, Xiaodong, Marks, Robert S.

“…Using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, we demonstrated that membrane damage is caused largely by MWCNTs trapping bacteria and piercing the cell walls. As a result of our observations, we propose integrating MWCNTs and bacteria degradation for pollutant removal in nutrient-rich media to minimize the toxicity effect of CNTs.…”
