Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…Low-temperature 10 K photoluminescence measurements of GaAs1−xNx epitaxial layers grown on GaAs reveal an anomalous second peak in solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. Rapid thermal annealing RTA of a specific GaAsN sample reveals a lower energy peak which redshifts and a higher energy peak which blueshifts under increasing annealing temperature. …”

Blocking of counter-partisan accounts drives political assortment on Twitter by Martel, Cameron, Mosleh, Mohsen, Yang, Qi, Zaman, Tauhid, Rand, David G

“…We then replicated these findings in a survey experiment and found evidence of a key motivation for blocking: wanting to avoid seeing any content posted by the blocked user. Additionally, we found that Democrats preferentially blocked counter-partisans more than Republicans, and that this asymmetry was likely due to blocking accounts who post low-quality or politically slanted content (rather than an asymmetry in identity-based blocking). …”

Real-time measurement of nano-particle size using differential optical phase detection by Lin, Feng, Wu, Xingkun, Li, Qing, Huang, He

“…Nano-particle diameters are obtained from the differential phase shift as a result of adding an optical scattering perturbation into two-beam interference. Polystyrene nano-particles with diameters from 200 to 900 nm in a microfluidic channel are detected using this technique to acquire real-time particle diameters. …”
