Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…This suggests that structure typology is important, with concrete and cylindrical structures showing resistance to thin flows. I show that damage extended beyond the flow channel in breakout flows and overflows, and extended up 600 m away from the lava flow margin due to the fire spread at Kīlauea, extending potential impact beyond the modelled channel footprint. …”

Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…As the leaf naturally detaches and dries, the leaf lamina shrinks more than the stiff midrib, resulting in in-plane strain mismatch between the mesophyll tissues and the midrib. For thin-sheet materials like plant leaves, uniform uniaxial stretching of the sheet leads to wrinkling, a phenomenon that has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. …”

Origin of a topotactic reduction effect for superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates by Zeng, Shengwei, Tang, Chi Sin, Luo, Zhaoyang, Chow, Lin Er, Lim, Zhi Shiuh, Prakash, Saurav, Yang, Ping, Diao, Caozheng, Yu, Xiaojiang, Xing, Zhenxiang, Ji, Rong, Yin, Xinmao, Li, Changjian, Wang, Renshaw Xiao, He, Qian, Breese, Mark B. H., Ariando, A., Liu, Huajun

“…We designed two sets of control Nd_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}NiO_{2} thin films and used secondary ion mass spectroscopy to highlight the absence of reduction-induced hydrogen intercalation. …”

Exciton Dynamics and Anisotropy in 2D Metal Organochalcogenolate Semiconductors by Lee, Woo Seok

“…First, we present the synthesis, structural and optical properties of 2D AgEPh (E = S, Se, Te) single crystals, colloidal nanocrystals, and thin films. Importantly, the growth of millimeter-sized single crystalline 2D AgEPh (E = S, Se, Te) enables their crystal structure determination via single crystal X-ray diffraction: AgSPh in P2₁, AgSePh in P2₁/c, and AgTePh in P2₁/c. …”

Suppressed deep traps and bandgap fluctuations in Cu2CdSnS4 solar cells with ≈8% efficiency by Hadke, Shreyash, Levcenko, Sergiu, Gautam, Gopalakrishnan Sai, Hages, Charles J., Márquez, José A., Izquierdo-Roca, Victor, Carter, Emily A., Unold, Thomas, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4-based solar cells have shown promising power conversion efficiencies in recent years, but their performance remains inferior compared to other thin-film solar cells. Moreover, the fundamental material characteristics that contribute to this inferior performance are unclear. …”

Shaped Bessel beam singulation of glass substrates by Chia, Hao Guang

“…This makes it possible to cut thin glass less than 1mm thick because no pressure is applied to the glass during the cutting process, which is often the cause of crack propagation. …”

Electrochemical DNA biosensor based on nanoporous alumina membrane by Deng, Jiajia

“…In the following chapter, we demonstrated a novel and integrated membrane sensing platform relying on free-standing anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) for the detection of oligonucleotide sequence using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Here, ultra-thin platinum layers were deposited as porous electrodes on both sides of AAO membrane and used as working and counter electrodes, respectively, for the impedance and differential pulse voltammetry measurements. …”

Analysis and exploitation of dispersive waves for source localization on solids by Arun, Kattukandy Rajan

“…The challenge of this research lies in the fact that transverse propagating waves on a thin elastic plate are dispersive in nature. As opposed to wave propagation in a non-dispersive medium such as air, a dispersive medium results in a wave propagation speed that is frequency dependent. …”

Fabrication and characterization of Algan/Gan high electron mobility transistors on silicon by Tham, Wai Hoe

“…Thus, substantial development have been carried out to grow high quality and crack-free GaN on Si wafers, including thick bulk Si and thin Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates. In this dissertation, one of the main objectives is to focus on the study and comparison of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs performances on both bulk Si and thin SOI substrates using the standard gold base contact. …”

Uncovering vein patterns from color skin images for personal identification in forensic investigation by Tang, Chaoying

“…All the current vein recognition systems developed by companies and research laboratories rely on near infrared (NIR) imaging devices to capture high quality vein patterns from hand and wrist, where skin is relatively thin, for commercial applications. Up until now, no one studies vein patterns for forensic identification because no method has been developed to visualize vein patterns hidden in color images. …”
