Facile synthesis of a hole transporting material with a silafluorene core for efficient mesoscopic CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells by Krishna, Anurag, Sabba, Dharani, Yin, Jun, Bruno, Annalisa, Antila, Liisa J., Soci, Cesare, Mhaisalkar, Subodh, Grimsdale, Andrew Clive

“…A novel electron-rich small-molecule, 4,4′-(5,5-dihexyl-5H-dibenzo[b,d]silole-3,7-diyl)bis(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline) (S101), containing silafluorene as the core with arylamine side groups, has been synthesized via a short efficient route. When S101 was incorporated into a CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cell as a hole transporting material (HTM), a short circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of 18.9 mA cm−2, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.92 V, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.65 contributing to an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ∼11% which is comparable to the PCE obtained using the current state-of-the-art HTM 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N′-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) (η = 12.3%) were obtained. …”

Predicting marsh vulnerability to sea-level rise using Holocene relative sea-level data by Horton, Benjamin Peter, Shennan, Ian, Bradley, Sarah L., Cahill, Niamh, Kirwan, Matthew, Kopp, Robert E., Shaw, Timothy Adam

“…Holocene records indicate that marshes are nine times more likely to retreat than expand when RSLR rates are ≥7.1 mm/yr. Coupling estimated probabilities of marsh retreat with projections of future RSLR suggests a major risk of tidal marsh loss in the twenty-first century. …”

The effects of Ad disliking on purchase intention. by Ong, Rachel Cuiting., Chia, Gin Pei Ling., Tan, Shi Hui.

“…Ad disliking was hypothesized to lead to lower purchase intentions than when ads are liked. In addition, it was also hypothesized to have greater effects on purchase intentions when consumers have low need for cognition, when they are under low-involvement conditions and when they are not brand-loyal.…”

Numerical methods for finite-size key rates with different entropic bounds in quantum key distribution by Chung, Rebecca Ru Byn

“…Following the ideas of Dupuis, we also formulated a generalized alpha-Renyi entropic bound on the secret key rate under i.i.d. collective attack, and showed regions of improvement from the conventional approach of using the smooth min-entropy. In particular, we proposed a generalized optimization method for the Renyi entropy for alpha = (1,2] and the min-entropy by adapting from Winick et al.'…”

Multi-valued logic synthesis for Resistive Random Access Memory (RERAM) based in-memory computing by Surhonne Anmol Prakash

“…The synthesis of multivalued functions consists of bi-decomposition or functional decomposition of the given target function to obtain a multilevel network comprising of MIN and MAX gates. Synthesis tools, such as YADE and those based on Multi-valued decision diagrams make the implicit assumption regarding the availability of literals or CASE operator, while focusing on the optimization of the logic network solely based on the MIN and MAX gates. …”
