Cross feedforward cascode compensation for low-power three-stage amplifier with large capacitive load by Chong, Sau Siong, Chan, Pak Kwong

“…The proposed technique has been implemented and fabricated in a UMC 65-nm CMOS process and it achieves a 2-MHz gain-bandwidth product (GBW) when driving a 500-pF capacitive load by consuming only 20.4 μW at a 1.2-V supply. The proposed compensation technique compares favorably in terms of figures-of-merit (FOM) to previously reported works. …”

An investigation on the role of W doping in BiVO 4 photoanodes used for solar water splitting by Zhao, Xin, Hu, Jun, Chen, Shi, Chen, Zhong

“…Theoretical analysis shows that W doping activates the V atoms to be reactive sites. Moreover, the adsorption energies and distance between adsorption species (OHads, Oads, and OOHads) involved in the water splitting process become more favorable for surface charge transfer. …”
