Synergistic-potential engineering enables high-efficiency graphene photodetectors for near- to mid-infrared light by Jiang, Hao, Fu, Jintao, Wei, Jingxuan, Li, Shaojuan, Nie, Changbin, Sun, Feiying, Wu, Steve Qing Yang, Liu, Mingxiu, Dong, Zhaogang, Wei, Xingzhan, Gao, Weibo, Qiu, Cheng-Wei

“…The 2D potential well constructed by dielectric structures can spatially (laterally and vertically) produce a strong trapping force on the photogenerated carriers in graphene and inhibit their recombination, thereby improving the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and photogain of the device with wavelength-immunity, which enable a high responsivity of 0.2 A/W-38 A/W across a broad infrared detection band from 1.55 to 11 µm. …”

Investigating the charge separation and transport in iron based photoanodes for solar-driven water splitting by Bassi, Prince Saurabh

“…It is proposed that surface mediated water oxidation was enhanced for the heterojunction films which allowed firstly the trapping of holes in the surface states and secondly facile transfer of these holes into the electrolyte for water oxidation. …”

Tropical peat subsidence, nutrient losses and oil palm seedling growth due to different water table depths by Abubakar, Safiyanu Hashim

“…The system was made of exchange chamber of air pump with the flow rate ranges between 1 and 3.5 L min-1, exchange chamber of (2670 mL plastic container) and a trap (250 mL Erlenmeyer flask). Ammonia loss from the soil was collected using a boric acid by air flow circulation that was passed through the exchange chamber into a trapping flask containing 75 mL boric acid mixed with bromocresol green and methyl red indicator. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…All four compositions were excitonic and showed large Stokes shift, which indicted presence of self-trapped excitons. I went into more depth into Cs3Bi2I9, and confirmed via temperature-dependent PL that carrier localisation takes place in this material.…”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…However, deviations from the power law are attributed to partial trapping at surface Ti4+ sites. Under inert gas, and depending on the humidity level, photo-adsorption of water is promoted by surface-trapped holes and repelled (or substantially weakened) by surface-trapped electrons. …”

Development of human enterovirus 71 nano calcium phosphate adjuvanted candidate vaccine for parenteral and mucosal delivery by Saeed Ahmed, Mohamed Ibrahim

“…The alginate formulations had no effect on the IgA levels, it seems the vaccine epitopes were trapped in the alginate composite. The effect of joint dual immunization parenteral and mucosal routes (nano-CaP-HEV71 killed-virus (ID) and vaccine encapsulated in chitosan through the buccal delivery) to the same animals induced enhanced both types of systemic and mucosal antibody responses, as displayed in serum IgG and salivary IgA antibody levels towards the vaccine. …”

In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). …”

Is psychological capital the same in Singapore? : an exploration of psychological capital and its relationship with engagement in an Asian context by Aw, Cherie Qiu Ying, Seah, Charlene Kai Qi, Lee, Alex Yi

“…The results indicated that the higher-order PsyCap core factor predicted engagement. Further analyses revealed that defensive pessimism is a better predictor of engagement than optimism because defensive pessimism, efficacy, hope and resilience were better able to predict engagement than the composite PsyCap. …”
