Effect of post-deposition annealing on the interface electronic structures of Al2O3-Capped GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure by Duan, Tian Li, Pan, Ji Sheng, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…The interface electronic structures of GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN samples, capped with atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 and subjected to varying post-deposition annealing (PDA) temperatures, are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Hall-effect measurement. XPS study shows a decrease in the Ga 3d and N 1s core level binding energy after a high-temperature PDA, implying a decrease of the interface defect density and the associated positive trapped-charge. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Finally, by mapping conformational changes found in molecular dynamics simulations onto changes observed in a previous HDX-MS data set on the <em>Drosophila</em> cryptochrome, a few gaps left by the incomplete coverage of the current experimental data were filled by acquiring information on the phosphate-binding loop and the protrusion motif, two regions which have also been found to undergo light-induced structural changes for the avian cryptochromes investigated. …”

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…The results show that more mature blood banks have more strategies available at their disposal when it comes to trying to maintain fill-rates. We also observe that the dynamic donation rate strategy results in lower fill-rates during disasters when the fill-rate is low despite being able to meet donation targets, and that multiple waves with short lead times exacerbate this effect. …”

Strain-tuning of nematicity and superconductivity in single crystals of FeSe by Ghini, M, Bristow, M, Prentice, JCA, Sutherland, S, Sanna, S, Haghighirad, AA, Coldea, AI

“…Here, we investigate the effect of uniaxial strain on the nematic and superconducting phase of single crystal FeSe using magnetotransport measurements. We find that the resistivity response to the strain is strongly temperature dependent and it correlates with the sign change in the Hall coefficient being driven by scattering, coupling with the lattice and multiband phenomena. …”
