Investigating hybrid methods of fabricating formamidinium-based perovskite solar cells by Krishnan, Sriniketh

“…A double-step method was explored on a p-i-n structure, consisting of thermal evaporation of an inorganic layer (PbI2 or PbI2-Cs) followed by spin coating of an organic layer (CH(NH)2I/CH3NH3Br/CH3NH3Cl) to complete the perovskite. …”

Efficient generation of an array of single silicon-vacancy defects in silicon carbide by Wang, Junfeng, Zhou, Yu, Zhang, Xiaoming, Liu, Fucai, Li, Yan, Li, Ke, Liu, Zheng, Wang, Guanzhong, Gao, Weibo

“…Color centers in silicon carbide have increasingly attracted attention in recent years owing to their excellent properties such as single-photon emission, good photostability, and long spin-coherence time even at room temperature. As compared to diamond, which is widely used for hosting nitrogen-vacancy centers, silicon carbide has an advantage in terms of large-scale, high-quality, and low-cost growth, as well as an advanced fabrication technique in optoelectronics, leading to prospects for large-scale quantum engineering. …”

Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…By calculating the effective mass for different bands and using the Drude-Lorentz model, our approach is able to determine the oscillator strength and the effective refractive index of the structure. We found that the spin-orbit coupling has important effect on the absorption coefficient and energy bands where it reduces the absorption coefficient of the structure from typical value of [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], also the valence band experiences a significant blue shift, while the conduction band shows minor changes due to spin orbit coupling. …”

Small-island interactions: pottery from Roman Malta by Anastasi, M

“…In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products—the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares—provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. …”
