Partial grounding, identity, and nothing-over-and-aboveness by Werner, Jonas

“…It will turn out that the related question whether partial grounding and nothing-over-and-aboveness yield full grounding pertains to considerations concerning how finely factual content is individuated. The relationship between non-augmented partial grounding and nothing-over-and-aboveness crucially depends on whether one works with a representational or a worldly notion of grounding and how coarsely grained one takes worldly grounds to be.…”

Spin defects in hBN assisted by metallic nanotrenches for quantum sensing by Cai, Hongbing, Ru, Shihao, Jiang, Zhengzhi, Eng, John Jun Hong, He, Ruihua, Li, Fuli, Miao, Yansong, Zúñiga-Pérez, Jesús, Gao, Weibo

“…By monitoring the reflectance spectrum of the resonators as additional layers of hBN are transferred, we have optimized the overall hBN/nanotrench optical response, maximizing thereby the luminescence enhancement. Based on these finely tuned heterostructures, we achieved an enhanced DC magnetic field sensitivity as high as 6 × 10-5 T/Hz1/2.…”

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. …”
