Investigation of Ni as Zn substitute in CZTS thin film solar cell by Quek, Ka Jun

“…Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was also done to check elemental composition of CNZTS in the thin film layer. AC Hall measurement was also conducted and it showed that the CNZTS layers have turned into n-type semiconductor when Ni substitution is more than 20% and also the carrier concentration increased significantly. …”

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

“…</p> <p>Using a range of complementary techniques, this thesis aims to elucidate protein conformational changes as the first step in signal transduction in several cryptochrome species finding similar changes in the same loop regions across multiple proteins, tackled the question whether a functional dimer might exist in the context of magnetoreception and found two important residues involved in dimerisation, and lastly used the finding that this dimerisation process is light-induced to start investigating the interaction surfaces in these dimeric structures.…”
