The theoretical direct-band-gap optical gain of Germanium nanowires by Xiong, Wen, Wang, Jian-Wei, Fan, Weijun, Song, Zhigang, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…We also investigate the optical gain along z direction as functions of the doping concentration and injected carrier density for the doped Germanium nanowires. When taking into account free-carrier absorption loss, the calculated results show that a positive net peak gain is most likely to occur in the heavily doped nanowires with smaller diameters. …”

Creative AI : a data-driven design approach for creative online ad optimisation using artificial intelligence and big data by Phay, Han

“…Performance data for the ads are presented, as well as a discussion on the implications of the findings, specifically on the positive potentials of data-driven design and the importance of ad agencies becoming like tech companies. The research is structured in 7 chapters: (1) A Historical Perspective on Modern Advertising, looking at the way creative advertising agencies have evolved throughout the earlier years, (2) Present Day Advertising Technology, continuing the narrative post-internet through exploration of the advertising technology industry in present day, (3) Consumer Psychology, specifically on how creative design attributes in ads, such as visuals, text and sound, can subconsciously have an effect on humans and are important to the cause of advertising, (4) Data-driven design, a new way of looking at the digital online ad creation process, integrating big data and artificial intelligence to predict the optimal creative attributes in digital ads, (5) Multivariate Testing for Creative Optimisation, a controlled experiment to determine that generated ads do not underperform current human designed ads, (6) Translating Research into Product, where the ad agency as tech company model is brought forth through the form of a startup, and lastly (7) Future Opportunities, that identifies other areas of emerging tech and the implications on future research.…”

Amorphous high-entropy phosphide nanosheets with multi-atom catalytic sites for efficient oxygen evolution by Li, Xiumin, Xie, Zhengkun, Roy, Soumyabrata, Gao, Longqing, Liu, Jie, Zhao, Bing, Wei, Ran, Tang, Bijun, Wang, Hongyan, Ajayan, Pulickel, Tang, Keyong

“…Furthermore, Fe and Ni/Co sites prefer to stabilize the HO* and HOO* intermediates respectively, conducive to breaking their scaling relation of Gibbs free energy during OER. Owing to its fine-tuned composition and the synergistic effect of multiple active sites, the FeCoNiCuYP/C electrocatalyst demonstrates superior OER performance in alkaline solutions, requiring a mere 316 mV overpotential to yield 100 mA cm-2 current density with excellent stability. …”
