The development of lead-less perovskite materials for the photovoltaic application by Chen, Yan

“…In addition, a lead-less perovskite system with partial tin(II) substitution exemplified the important role of metallic cations in controlling the charge recombination process within perovskite films and at interfaces. In summary, the major findings presented in this thesis dissertation highlight the significance of compositional engineering of the perovskite materials to the fine-tuning of their optoelectronic properties and the performance of their associated devices. …”

Towards Health Centered Drug Policy: An Analysis of Past and Developing Drug Policy by Lewis, Benjamin B.

“…We estimate the causal effect of each policy separately for each state, and then use meta-analysis to calculate the overall effect of each policy intervention. We find that the passage of medical marijuana legalization laws, the opening of recreational dispensaries, and the implementation of Medical marijuana patient ID programs had no significant effect on annual state overdose death rates. …”
