Synthesis of lead selenide (PbSe) quantum dots for photovoltaic applications by Yang, Shuai

“…Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results confirmed that the particle size increased with increasing water to surfactant ratio, and UV-vis NIR Absorption Spectra of the PbSe quantum dots showed a red shift also with increasing water to surfactant ratio, the corresponding band gap was more than 1eV, which was larger than that of bulk PbSe.…”

Decoupling transport-CO2 emissions: Mexico, Spain and The USA: a trend analysis by Gómez, AP, Bonilla, D, Banister, D

“…The results reveal that transport volume changes proportionately more than economic activity (materialization). Conversely, CO₂&nbsp;emissions change proportionately less than do economic activity and surface transport volume (decarbonization), although Mexico requires greater efforts. …”

‘Canon in colour’: contextual knowledge of race and empire as powerful knowledge by Elliott, V

“…Drawing on Muller & Young’s (2019) definition of powerful knowledge which draws on potentia rather than potestas, a distinction which focuses on the enabling potential, rather than the idea of power over others, I argue for the relevance and significance of teaching canonical literature with the context of race and empire. …”

Impostor syndrome and pretense by Levy, N

“…Impostor Syndrome is the belief or feeling that one is passing oneself off as much more capable than one really is. Anecdotally, it is experienced more by members of historically disadvantaged groups, but the empirical data seems inconsistent with this view. …”
