Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…In the second part of the work, a successful homemade TR-2PPE system was set up, and preliminary studies on CsPbBr3 single crystals found that hot carriers generated through carrier-carrier scattering ∼1 eV above the conduction band edge possess long lifetimes ∼3 ns under resonant excitation due to strong band-filling and long lifetimes of band edge carriers in single crystals which hinder hot carrier cooling. …”

Energy efficient resource migration based load balance mechanism for high traffic applications IoT by Kumar, Sunil, Cengiz, Korhan, Vimal, Suresh, Suresh, A.

“…This leads to a cause of emerging challenge of load balancing of networks for meeting up with highly demanding requirements (e.g., high performance, lower latency, high throughput, and high availability) of IoT and 5G network applications. For meeting up highly increasing demands, various proposal of load balancing techniques comes forward, in which highly dedicated balancers of loads are being required for ever service in some of them, or for every new service, manual recognition of device is required. …”
