Charge transfer enhancement at the CZTS photocathode interface using ITO for efficient solar water reduction by Tay, Ying Fan, Zhang, Mengyuan, Zhang, Shuo, Lie, Stener, Chiam, Sing Yang, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…Our results suggest that the improved photocurrent, onset potential, and recovery effect are probably attributed to the removal of phosphate ions adhering to the surface of the ITO layer and higher catalytic activity at the semiconductor/electrolyte surface by forming In-Pt and Sn-Pt interactions due to partial reduction of In and Sn on the ITO surface.…”

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run

“…We also expand the population of binaries with significantly asymmetric mass ratios reported in GWTC-2 by an additional two events (the mass ratio is less than 0.65 and 0.44 at 90% probability for GW190403_051519 and GW190917_114630 respectively), and find that two of the eight new events have effective inspiral spins χ eff > 0 (at 90% credibility), while no binary is consistent with χ eff < 0 at the same significance. …”

Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…These have, in turn, led to further displacement, enclavization, and ghettoization of minority communities who are deemed ‘non-native’ along ethnocentric lines. Taking two cases from Shillong and Guwahati, we introduce the concept of entangled exclusions to analyse the layered, intertwined, multi-scalar nature of divides within these frontier cities. …”
