Effect of post-deposition annealing on the interface electronic structures of Al2O3-Capped GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure by Duan, Tian Li, Pan, Ji Sheng, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…The interface electronic structures of GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN samples, capped with atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 and subjected to varying post-deposition annealing (PDA) temperatures, are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Hall-effect measurement. XPS study shows a decrease in the Ga 3d and N 1s core level binding energy after a high-temperature PDA, implying a decrease of the interface defect density and the associated positive trapped-charge. …”

Bond order resolved 3d 5/2 and valence band chemical shifts of Ag surfaces and nanoclusters by Sun, Changqing, Qin, Wei, Wang, Yan, Huang, Yongli, Zhou, Zhaofeng, Yang, Chao

“…Incorporating the tight-binding theory and the bond order–length–strength (BOLS) correlation into the X-ray photoelectron spectra of Ag(111) and (100) surfaces and the Auger electron spectra of Ag nanoparticles deposited on Al2O3 and CeO2 substrates has led to quantitative information of the 3d5/2 and the valence binding energies of an isolated Ag atom and their shifts upon bulk, defect, surface, and nanocrystal formation. …”

Application of finite Gaussian process distribution of relaxation times on SOFC electrodes by Williams, Nicholas J, Osborne, Conor, Seymour, Ieuan D, Bazant, Martin Z, Skinner, Stephen J

“…Using a nonparametric tool known as Gaussian process (GP) regression, we showcase a method of finding a unique solution to the ill-posed DRT problem by optimising kernel hyperparameters as opposed to ad-hoc regularisation. …”

An empirical bioethical examination of Norwegian and British doctors' views of responsibility and (de)prioritization in healthcare by Everett, JAC, Maslen, H, Nussberger, A-M, Bringedal, B, Wilkinson, D, Savulescu, J

“…A large proportion of doctors in both countries supported including responsibility for illness in prioritization decisions. This finding was more prominent in zero-sum scenarios where allocation to one patient means that another patient is denied treatment. …”

Influence of presumed influence on thinness as a beauty ideal for girls. by Soh, Wai Siong.

Effectiveness of interpretive exhibits in influencing students’ intention in birdwatching activity at a Bird Interpretive Center, Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, Malaysia by Mokhli, Nuraain Amalina

“…The study has shown that the new interpretive intervention exhibit is more effective in influencing students’ affect and intention to participate in birdwatching compared to the existing non-interpretive exhibit at the Bird Interpretive Centre. These findings indicated that the interpretive exhibit developed in this study successfully delivers the messages and the ‘call for action’ and shapes students’ affect and intention based on the objective of the interpretive exhibit.…”
