Janus particle preparation through UV-induced partial photodegradation of spin-coated particle films by Tan, Jasmine Si Jia, Wong, Chong Hui, Chen, Zhong

“…Photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles prefunctionalized with a surface coating were assembled as particle films via spin-coating on a substrate. The particle films were placed directly under an ultraviolet light source, which induced the photodegradation of the surface coating only on the particle surfaces exposed to the light. …”

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. …”

Role of ex-situ HfO2 passivation to improve device performance and suppress X-ray-induced degradation characteristics of in-situ Si3N4/AlN/GaN MIS-HEMTs by Dalapati, Pradip, Li, Hanchao, Arulkumaran, Subramaniam, Ng, Geok Ing

“…Furthermore, due to the generation of chemical vacancies under X-ray, a band tail near the edge of valence band maximum in Si3N4 and HfO2 films can be created. The obtained results suggest that MIS-HEMT fabricated with an atomic layer deposited (ALD)-HfO2 (MIS-HEMT B) has relatively greater performance compared to MIS-HEMT fabricated without ex-situ HfO2 (MIS-HEMT A) according to the higher maximum drain current (Idmax), peak transconductance (gmmax) and lower current collapse, denoting the effectiveness of ALD-HfO2 to passivate the surface traps. …”
