The need for regulation: permissive governance and disproportionate use of live facial recognition technology by the Metropolitan Police Service by Croker, JT

“…The MPS has used LFR since 2016, and this use threatens the enjoyment of a range of protected rights, including Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the protection of private and family life). While the technology itself poses novel challenges to the enjoyment of a range of rights, the contribution made by this thesis highlights the risk of police ineffectually self-regulating their use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools without ensuring effective oversight, accountability or appropriate rights protections. …”

Optical study of excitonic complexes in transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers by Bao, Di

“…The encapsulation of WS2 monolayer with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) greatly reduces the PL linewidth and enables the observation of fine structures of the lower-energy features. By electrostatic doping to the hBN-encapsulated WS2 monolayer, we observe a Fermi edge singularity-like transition in the reflectance and PL spectra, reflecting distinct interactions between excitons and Fermi electrons under different electron densities. …”
