Direction-division multiplexed holographic free-electron-driven light sources by Clarke, Brendan P., MacDonald, Kevin F., Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…The direction-division multiplexed source is tested by driving it with the 30 kV electron beam of a scanning electron microscope: light emission, at a wavelength of 800 nm in the present case, is switched among different output angles by micron-scale repositioning of the electron injection point among domains. …”

Polarity assignment in ZnTe, GaAs, ZnO, and GaN-AlN nanowires from direct dumbbell analysis by Fernández-Rojas, Carlos J., Morral, Anna Fontcuberta i., Mata, Maria de la, Magen, Cesar, Gazquez, Jaume, Utama, Muhammad Iqbal Bakti, Heiss, Martin, Lopatin, Sergei, Furtmayr, Florian, Peng, Bo, Morante, Joan Ramon, Rurali, Riccardo, Eickhoff, Martin, Xiong, Qihua, Arbiol, Jordi

“…Aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with high angle annular dark field (HAADF) imaging and the newly developed annular bright field (ABF) imaging are used to define a new guideline for the polarity determination of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) from binary compounds in two extreme cases: (i) when the dumbbell is formed with atoms of similar mass (GaAs) and (ii) in the case where one of the atoms is extremely light (N or O: ZnO and GaN/AlN). …”

Effects of preparation temperature on the conductivity of polypyrrole conducting polymer by Kassim, Anuar, Basar, Zarina, Mahmud, H.N.M. Ekramul

“…The morphology of the films formed was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The changes in conductivity and physical appearance were interpreted as being due to compactness in the molecular packing and formation of αβ linkages in the film.…”

Attractiveness of container shipping as an investment asset class - perspective from an equity investor with investment horizon of 5 years by Tan, Ryan Kye Han

“…Comparison of historical returns to market average was used to determine the relative performance of container shipping stocks to market average across a span of 12 years from 2010 to 2021. Correlation analysis was then conducted to identify potential indicators of future share price performance that could be used to guide investor decisions. …”

Stability of laminated composites with delaminations by Yap, Chun Wee

“…Various parametric studies are then conducted and they include boundary condition, type of composite materials, number of layers, ply orientation, stacking sequence, through-the-thickness location of the delamination, delamination length and along-the-span position of the delamination. For all the single-delaminated and multi-delaminated thin composite beams cases that are examined, the CLT methods 2 and 3 are able to form the desired upper and lower bounds, respectively, for the actual buckling loads. …”
