Evaporation of sessile saline droplet with surfactant on silicon wafer substrate by Yap, Ming Sheng

“…From 0.2mM to 0.8mM CTAB concentration, the evaporation process demonstrated CCR mode with the contact diameter at CCR and evaporation rate increases with higher CTAB concentration. On the other hand, at very low CTAB concentration, the evaporation process for 0.04mM CTAB undergoes a transition from mixed mode to constant contact angle (CCA) mode. …”

Performance monitoring for quantum key distribution systems by Yu, Timothy Shengrong

“…These limitations lead to the proposed development of a polarisation-encoded QKD system based on an adaptive polarisation state monitoring and recovery scheme that adapts the system to the existing polarisation drift condition in the transmission link to enhance its reliability and availability. On the other hand, current high-speed single-photon detection schemes are often designed to work with idealised parameters such as fixed gating rate and operating temperature. …”

Boosting hydrogen evolution reaction via electronic coupling of cerium phosphate with molybdenum phosphide nanobelts by Zhang, Luyao, Hu, Minghao, Li, Huan, Cao, Bo, Jing, Peng, Liu, Baocang, Gao, Rui, Zhang, Jun, Liu, Bin

“…In this work, it is found that by anchoring a rare earth compound, cerium phosphate (CePO4 ) on MoP (CePO4 /MoP), the stabilized Ce3+ in CePO4 can significantly boost the formation of oxygen vacancies in ceria (CeO2 ) in situ formed on CePO4 surface during HER, which effectively regulates the d-band electronic density-of-states of MoP, increases the numbers of active sites, and promotes the vectorial electron transfer, therefore greatly enhancing the HER performance of MoP. …”
