(author), van der Stam, W. (author)Metal-halide perovskite nanocrystals show promise as the future active material in photovoltaics, lighting, and other optoelectronic applications. The appeal of these materials is largely due to the robustness of the optoelectronic properties to structural defects. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of most types of perovskite...journal article 2020

Vardon, P.J. (author), Peuchen, J. (author)Obtaining in situ thermal properties of soils is often difficult and time-consuming. Here, cone penetration test (CPT) correlations are proposed and validated for thermal properties of saturated ground, i.e. thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity, giving continuous profiles of the parameters, in a substantially reduced time. The...journal article 2020

Azizi, Arash (author), Musso, Guido (author), Jommi, C. (author)Soils used in earth construction projects are mostly unsaturated, and they undergo frequent drying–wetting cycles (repeated hydraulic loads) due to changes in climatic conditions or variations of the ground water level, particularly at shallow depths. After compaction, changes in water content can significantly influence the hydromechanical...journal article 2020

Whiteway, Eric (author), Lee, M. (author), Hilke, Michael (author)Graphene has a high intrinsic thermal conductivity and a high electron mobility. The thermal conductivity of graphene can be significantly reduced when different carbon isotopes are mixed, which can enhance the performance of thermoelectric devices. Here we synthesize isotopic 12C/13C random mixes and isotope superlattices (SLs) with periods...journal article 2020

van Wee, G.P. (author)In addition to a code of conduct for researchers, it is desirable to implement a code of conduct for funders of research. This is because researchers often behave unethically as a result of direct and/or indirect pressure from funders.
