Fan, Jiajie (author), Mohamed, Moumouni Guero (author), Qian, Cheng (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Pecht, Micheal (author)With the expanding application of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the color quality of white LEDs has attracted much attention in several color-sensitive application fields, such as museum lighting, healthcare lighting and displays. Reliability concerns for white LEDs are changing from the luminous efficiency to color quality. However, most of the...journal article 2017

Fan, Ke (author), Wei, Gu (author), Qian, QK (author), Chan, Edwin (author)Green building (GB) policies have been implemented to promote GB and address climate change. Most of the existing literatures have studied the costs and benefits of developing GB, without considerations of GB policies’ impacts. This paper aims to study costs and benefits of implementing GB policy from developers’ perspective. It takes the Gross...conference paper 2017

Behdani, B. (author), Fan, Yun (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Zuidwijk, R.A. (author)Intermodal freight transport has been discussed for decades as an alternative to unimodal road transport. However, it still does not represent a significant portion of the total freight market. A new and promising possibility to improve the performance of freight systems is the synchromodal design of hinterland transport systems. A...journal article 2016

(author), Kjelstrup, Signe (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Using the analogue of the electric inductance, we reveal the properties of the thermal inductance in GaN-based light-emitting diode devices by testing their transient thermal behaviors. We find that the devices exhibit a transient thermal response under step-down or step-up currents and observe notable inductive phenomena of the temperature...journal article 2016

Fan, Z. (author), Lin, L. (author), Buijs, W. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), van Huis, MA (author)Cation exchange is a powerful tool for the synthesis of nanostructures such as core–shell nanocrystals, however, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Interactions of cations with ligands and solvent molecules are systematically ignored in simulations. Here, we introduce the concept of pseudoligands to incorporate cation-ligand-solvent...journal article 2016

Fan, Ke (author), Qian, QK (author), Chan, EHW (author)About 40% of global energy consumption and nearly one-third of global CO2 emissions are on account of buildings. In Hong Kong, buildings consume up to 90% of electricity during construction and operation, where all the design and construction of private developments is subject to control under the Buildings<br/>Ordinance. The way building...conference paper 2016

Chen, Xianping (author), Ye, H. (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Ren, Tianling (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Heat pipes (HPs) have received considerable attention in recent decades, especially in the field of cooling electronics, which requires the removal of added heat from an area of limited volume to the environment. Small HPs are widely used in electronic applications, which are normally limited by the compact structure and dimensions of the...journal article 2016

Fan, K. (author), Qian, Q.K. (author), Chan, E.H.W. (author)Gross Floor Area (GFA) concession scheme, as a planning incentive, is developed from the notion of “make developers pay” in UK in 1990. It rewards developers additional GFA in exchange for public amenities so that government could save that amount of money. This paper carries out a review of GFA concession scheme in Hong Kong and Singapore to...conference paper 2015

(author), Kanjanaboos, Pongsakorn (author), Malen, Jonathan A. (author), Sargent, Edward H. (author)Colloidal quantum dots have grown in interest as materials for light amplification and lasing in view of their bright photoluminescence, convenient solution processing and size-controlled spectral tunability. To date, lasing in colloidal quantum dot solids has been limited to the nanosecond temporal regime, curtailing their application in...journal article 2015

Xu, H. (author), Yu, M. (author), Huang, H. (author), Fan, Y. (author)The original urban planning can never meet the requirements of the rapid development and the increasing population in big cities in China. The best way to solve this problem is to develop the underground space (including tunnels). With the exhaustion and saturation of the shallow underground space, the development of urban area is more and more...conference paper 2015
