Electronic structures of twisted two-dimensional materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by Pei, D

“…We have also confirmed the existence of Umklapp scattering in the graphene/WSe2 heterostructures with 11° and 14° twist angles. Interestingly, we find that 11° could be a magic angle for the graphene/WSe2 heterostructure, which can lead to the formation of flat band via the second order Umklapp scattering.…”

Phase measurements based indoor visible light positioning systems by Zhang, Sheng

“…As the GPS signals have severe multi-path effects and strong signal attenuations in indoor buildings, visible light with its line of sight (LOS) property and fewer reflections and diffractions gains advantages in the positioning accuracy over other RF-based techniques.There are several positioning algorithms, the simplest one in structure is the received signal strength (RSS) which has good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) property, but is not feasible in situations with rotations and intensity disturbance. …”

Mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO-SiO2-H2O systems by Sonat, Cem

“…The high performance achieved by MgO-SiO2 mixes under ambient conditions has led to scientific interest in the exploration of their potential to be utilized in structural and non-structural construction applications. In line with this interest, the main goal of this study was to analyse the mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO-SiO2-H2O systems and evaluate the stability of the formed phases under various conditions. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…The proposed mechanism suggests that in most cases, strong σ-donating groups favour the N,C-chelate aza-butadienyl configuration under ambient conditions. This is broadly in line with the experimental findings, with the exception of the R = P(SiMe₃)₂ system which, together with the σ-withdrawing R = Cl system, exists in the N-nacnac-chelate form at room temperature.…”

Modulation and control strategies for neutral-point-clamped converters by Beniwal, Neha

“…The focus of this thesis is to address these challenges and develop more efficient modulation and control techniques for the NPC converters. In order to find a trade-off solution between the CV ripple magnitude and the switching power losses, a new feedforward compensated modulation technique for the three-phase NPC converter is proposed in this thesis. …”

EEG-based attention recognition using machine learning by Sun, Haoqi

“…The accuracy 94.3% (±5.6%) is the best compared to other feature selection and channel selection algorithms. Based on CSDF, we find that the first and second order difference in the left parietal and temporal lobes, as well as the Higuchi fractal dimension and mean signal amplitude in the right frontal lobe, are relevant to selective attention. …”
