Two essays on the origins of academic collaborative networks by Huang, Ziying

“…These findings suggest that there can be bidirectional dynamics between individual knowledge and network formation such that people with adequate knowledge breadth and depth are more apt to form new ties, which in turn will lead to more new knowledge. Overall, connecting social network perspective with human agency and cognitive perspectives, this research sheds light on how individual collaborative networks are formed.…”

Ballistic spin transport in exciton gases by Kavokin, A. V., Vladimirova, M., Jouault, B., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Leonard, J. R., Butov, L. V.

“…The challenges for the realization of long-range electron spin transport include rapid spin relaxation due to electron scattering. Scattering and, in turn, spin relaxation can be effectively suppressed in excitonic devices where the spin currents are carried by electrically neutral bosonic quasiparticles: excitons or exciton-polaritons. …”

A bright cadmium-free, hybrid organic/quantum dot white light-emitting diode by Yang, Xuyong, Divayana, Yoga, Zhao, Dewei, Leck, Kheng Swee, Lu, Fen, Tan, Swee Tiam, Abiyasa, Agus Putu, Zhao, Yongbiao, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Sun, Xiaowei

“…A maximum brightness close to 700 cd/m2 together with a relatively low turn-on voltage of 4.5 V has been achieved. With the design of a loosely packed QD layer resulting in the direct contact of poly[N,N′-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)benzidine] (poly-TPD) and 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi) in the device, a ternary complementary white QD-LED consisting of blue component (poly-TPD), green component (QDs), and red component (exciplex formed at the interface between poly-TPD and TPBi) has been demonstrated. …”

Accelerating black objects and their holographic duals by Boido, A

“…The latter is topologically a two-sphere but has conical deficits angles parametrized by coprime integers m± ∈ N whose physical effect is indeed to turn on the acceleration.</p> <p>We exploit the formalism of geometric extremization together with a series of geometric methods to derive block formulas for many holographic observables of interest, including central charges, free energies, quantized fluxes, and probe brane actions. …”

Investigating the impact of ligand modification on luminescent lanthanide complexes by Simms, CH

Kierkegaardian selfhood as pursuit of the Greatest Commandment by Callaway, DA

“…Then, Chapter IV considers three deliverances of the Moravian Pietism in which Kierkegaard was raised—kenotic Christology, apophaticism, and a distinctive doctrine of grace—that shape his conception of loving God and distinguish it from Schopenhauerian nihilism. In turn, the concluding Chapter V asserts that, for Kierkegaard, to love God is to employ love’s dying away to purge oneself of adherence to idols of the mind (including Schopenhauerian knowledge of the <em>nihil</em> or nothingness of self, world, and God) and therein offer a love to God that is individually one’s own.…”
