Effects of rapid thermal annealing on structural, magnetic and optical properties of Ni-doped ZnO thin films by Zhao, Xing, Liu, Erjia, Ramanujan, Raju Vijayaraghavan, Chen, Jingsheng

“…An even higher Ms value was observed in the film annealed in Ar at 800 °C (Ms = 0.055 μB/Ni) compared to that at 600 °C mainly due to the diffusion of Ni. The ultraviolet emission of the Ni-doped ZnO thin film was restored during annealing in Ar at 800 °C, which was also attributed to the diffusion of Ni.…”

Mobilizing bodies: unsettling sustainable mobility through cycling in Los Angeles by Davidson, AC

“…</p> <p>In this dissertation, I work through a methodology of 'riding theory' by bringing together (material) feminist, queer and critical race theories with multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork on cycling practices, focusing mainly on Los Angeles, California. Rather than building on automatic assumptions of cycling as a 'solution', I ask in what ways cycling practices manifest through relations of power. …”

The Holy Roman Empire in conservative political thought by Reho, FO

“…The latter was central to nationalist plans from the early 19th century, furnished the historical underpinning of <em>Weltpolitik</em> and <em>Mitteleuropa</em> at the turn of the 20th century and inspired the revolutionary conservative <em>Reichsideologie</em> of the interwar period as well as the neo-imperial prefigurations of the various ‘New Rights’ after the Second World War.</p> <br> <p>Mainly an exercise in the transnational history of ideologies over the <em>longue durée</em>, the thesis nuances our understanding of the genesis and development of German conservatism and of the Empire’s influence on it, traditionally seen as a contributing factor to Germany’s <em>Sonderweg</em>, culminating in the Nazi <em>Reich</em>. …”
