Single-step selective laser writing of flexible photodetectors for wearable optoelectronics by An, Jianing, Le, Truong-Son Dinh, Lim, Chin Huat Joel, Tran, Van Thai, Zhan, Zhaoyao, Gao, Yi, Zheng, Lianxi, Sun, Gengzhi, Kim, Young-Jin

“…Herein, by developing a single‐step selective laser writing strategy that can finely tailor material properties through incident photon density control and lead to the formation of hierarchical hybrid nanocomposites, e.g., reduced graphene oxide (rGO)–zinc oxide (ZnO), a highly flexible and all rGO–ZnO hybrid‐based photodetector is successfully constructed. …”

Tin halide perovskite solar cells with open-circuit voltages approaching the Shockley–Queisser limit by Liu, W, Hu, S, Pascual, J, Nakano, K, Murdey, R, Tajima, K, Wakamiya, A

“…The fullerene derivative indene-C₆₀ bisadduct (ICBA) is a promising alternative to mitigate this drawback, owing to its superior energy level matching with most tin-based perovskites. However, the less finely controlled energy disorder of the ICBA films leads to the extension of its band tails that limits the photovoltage of the resultant devices and reduces the power conversion efficiency. …”

Effects of maze appearance on maze solving by Semizer, Yelda, Yu, Dian, Wan, Qianqian, Balas, Benjamin, Rosenholtz, Ruth

“…As mazes are typically complex, cluttered stimuli, solving them is likely limited by visual crowding. Thus, several aspects of the appearance of the maze – the thickness, spacing, and curvature of the paths, as well as the texture of both paths and walls – likely influence the performance. …”

E-commerce regulation and trader compliance: a comparative and empirical inquiry by Pflücke, F

“…The ambition of the thesis is to define and measure the levels of compliance and to test four hypotheses: (H1) traders do not comply in full with their legal obligations; (H2) large traders are more likely to be compliant compared to SMEs; (H3) traders that are older are more likely to be compliant compared to companies that were incorporated more recently; (H4) traders that base their terms and conditions on pre-drafted standard contract terms are more likely to be in compliance with the selected legal obligations. …”
