Directional emission from electrically injected exciton-polaritons in perovskite metasurfaces by Wang, Yutao, Tian, Jingyi, Klein, Maciej, Adamo, Giorgio, Ha, Son Tung, Soci, Cesare

“…Here a high-finesse metasurface cavity is monolithically patterned in the channel of a perovskite light-emitting transistor to induce a large Rabi splitting of ∼200 meV and more than 50-fold enhancement of the polaritonic emission compared to the intrinsic excitonic emission of the perovskite film. Moreover, the directionality of polaritonic electroluminescence can be dynamically tuned by varying the source-drain bias, which induces an asymmetric distribution of exciton population within the transistor channel. …”

Application of Judith Butler’s “gender performativity” in Asian cultures by Ding, Gary Yongping

“…One of Judith Butler’s best known theories, regarding Gender Performativity, draws inspiration from Beauvoir’s formulation. “Butler adopts the Beauvoirian position that gender is not something one is, but something one does, or as she puts it, “[g]ender is the repeated stylization of the body, set of repeated acts within a highly rigid regulatory frame that congeal over time to produce the appearance of substance, of a natural sort of being” (Salih 91). …”
