Multiple morphologies of colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) diversify their optical and electronic properties. Among them, the linear absorption cross-section (σ) is a primary parameter to determine their intrinsic photophysical features, and consequently, application potential. Herein, three morphologies of all-inorganic hybrid colloidal perovskite CsPbBr3 NCs, nanocubes (NBs), nanoplatelets

The optical and electrochemical properties of a series of polyoxometalate (POM) oxoclusters decorated with two bodipy (boron-dipyrromethene) light-harvesting units were examined. Evaluated here in this polyanionic donor-acceptor system is the effect of the solvent and associated counterions on the intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer. The results show that both solvents and counterions ha

Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) is the most complete nonlinear optical technique based on the interaction of multiple short laser pulses with matter. It has grown to play a significant role in studies of optoelectronic materials and pigment protein complexes. In this work we apply CMDS to investigate electronic excitations and their dynamics in semiconductor nanocrystals, so called q

Rhenium(I)-carbonyl-diimine complexes have emerged as promising photocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction with covalent organic frameworks recognized as perfect sensitizers and scaffold support. Such Re complexes/covalent organic frameworks hybrid catalysts have demonstrated high carbon dioxide reduction activities but with strong excitation energy-dependence. In this paper, we rationalize this

Hot carrier (HC) cooling accounts for the significant energy loss in lead halide perovskite (LHP) solar cells. Here, we study HC relaxation dynamics in Mn-doped LHP CsPbI3 nanocrystals (NCs), combining transient absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We demonstrate that Mn2+ doping (1) enlarges the longitudinal optical (LO)-acoustic phonon bandgap, (2) enhances t

Accurate imputation is essential for the reliability and success of downstream tasks. Recently, diffusion models have attracted great attention in this field. However, these models neglect the latent distribution in a lower-dimensional space derived from the observed data, which limits the generative capacity of the diffusion model. Additionally, dealing with the original missing data without labe

Local parties are a powerful political factor in many Swedish municipalities but haven't gained as much attention as new parties on the national level. In this essay we try to create an understanding of why inhabitants of these municipalities give electoral support to these local parties. Rather than focusing on new political cleavages or institutional changes, the theory by Lawson & Merkl

Människan har genom tiderna alltid fascinerats av materiens minsta beståndsdelar. På det tidiga 1900-talet skedde stora genombrott då kvantmekaniken utvecklades: en teori som oerhört väl beskriver hur bland annat elektronerna i atomer och molekyler beter sig. Utöver att förklara hur de uppför sig så vill man också kunna titta på dem, vilket ofta är svårt. Väldigt många processer där elektroner är A general method for modelling reflection in a multilayer structure is developed. This is used to simulate how a Gaussian Ti:sapphire femtosecond pulse reflects off of a periodic SiO2/TiO2 dielectric stack at normal incidence. The method is based on a transfer matrix approach combined with the fast Fourier transform in MATLAB. Both a simple Bragg reflector and a linearly chirped mirror is investig

Jet impingement cooling is commonly used in gas turbines. Usually the spent air from the upstream jets forms a cross-flow past the downstream jets, which degrades their heat transfer performance. In the present study, a new method was proposed to promote the jet penetration and enhance the impingement heat transfer. By placing a delta-winglet vortex generator pair (VGP) in the cross-flow upstream

Halide perovskites have continued to rise as attractive light absorber materials, mainly driven by their potential wide applications in the fields of solar cells, photodetectors, lasers and others. However, Pb-containing perovskites are poisonous and could cause serious potential problems to our environment. Thus, there is a strong desire to develop lead-free perovskites as environmentally friend

This study examined the relationship between adult attachment dimensions and life satisfaction among expatriates residing in European countries, with a particular focus on the challenges of social isolation and cultural adaptation. It hypothesized that expatriates with secure attachment styles were more likely to report higher levels of life satisfaction compared to those with avoidant or anxious

Knowledge bases are largely developed and utilized in academic and industrial fields, such as DBPedia, VIAF, LoC, Getty, and which are published in the Linked Data format. However, if you want to view different resources on these knowledge bases, you have to switch between different web pages from these resources. Therefore, we proposed a decentralized data hub named SinoPedia, which consists of s

A technique for scalable spray coating of colloidal CdSeTe quantum dots (QDs) for photovoltaics and photodetector applications is presented. A mixture solvent with water and ethanol was introduced to enhance the adhesive force between QDs and the substrate interface. The performance of the detector reached the highest values with 40 spray coating cycles of QD deposition. The photodetectors without

Dark states are eigenstates or steady states of a system that are decoupled from the radiation. Their use, along with associated techniques such as stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, has extended from atomic physics, where it is an essential cooling mechanism, to more recent versions in the condensed phase where it can increase the coherence times of qubits. These states are often discussed in th

För 50 år sedan började man operera utslitna höftleder och använda konstgjordaledytor som ersättning. Antalet operationer har långsamt ökat och operationen är nu en av de vanligaste i Sverige. En ny höftled leder oftast till total smärtfrihetoch ökad rörelseförmåga under lång tid men ibland kan de insatta delarna lossna. Omoperationer på grund av proteslossning ökar i antal och för närvarande utgö
