Structural and electronic features enabling delocalized charge-carriers in CuSbSe 2 by Fu, Y, Lohan, H, Righetto, M, Huang, Y, Kavanagh, SR, Cho, C, Zelewski, SJ, Woo, YW, Demetriou, H, McLachlan, MA, Heutz, S, Piot, BA, Scanlon, DO, Rao, A, Herz, LM, Walsh, A, Hoye, RLZ

“…Using a combination of theory and experiment, the critical enabling factors are found to be: 1) having a layered structure, which allows distortions to the unit cell during the propagation of an acoustic wave to be relaxed in the interlayer gaps, with minimal changes in bond length, thus limiting deformation potentials; 2) favourable quasi-bonding interactions across the interlayer gap giving rise to higher electronic dimensionality; 3) Born effective charges not being anomalously high, which, combined with the small bandgap (≤1.2 eV), result in a low ionic contribution to the dielectric constant compared to the electronic contribution, thus reducing the strength of Fröhlich coupling. …”

Active Learning Strategies in Engineering Science: The Right Way to Teach Physics for Management Students (S/O 13010) by Nordin, Norani, Mohammed Kamaruddeen, Ahmed, Yekinni Kolawole, Sanusi

“…Physics is always perceived by students as a difficult, dull, and abstract subject with little connection to the real world, despite the fact that technologies are born from the physics of our daily lives. The traditional way of teaching physics and technology is based on teacher-centred of learning, where the teacher talks about a given theory and students are supposed to solve several problems based on this theory. …”

Arabization, the victimizer: a constructivist analysis of the role of Arabization in harming social security and social cohesion in Singapore by Shukul, Raaj Kumar

“…Given that religion often shapes the values, norms and worldviews of individuals, being able to identify and even counter such nefarious attempts of agitating the Malay-Muslim community against the Other will (1) empower them to know the nuances between politics and religion without acting on illegitimate agendas being advocated for by such non-state actors; (2) Allow for the contextualized and accurate interpretations of religious tenets amongst various demographics within the Malay-Muslim community in Singapore and lastly, (3) serve as a significant model of the appreciation and practice of Islam within the Nusantara region that allows for a strengthening of our social fabric, social security and social cohesion borne out of a sincere and informed appreciation of Islam.…”
