Tailoring Phonon‐Driven Responses in α‐MoO3 through Isotopic Enrichment

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The implementation of polaritonic materials into nanoscale devices requires selective tuning of parameters to realize desired spectral or thermal responses. One robust material, α‐MoO3, an orthorhombic crystal boasting three distinct phonon dispersions, provides three polaritonic dispersions of hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) across the ...

Allocative Efficiency Measurement Revisited - Do We Really Need Input Prices?

, 2008
The traditional approach to measuring allocative efficiency exploits input prices, which are rarely known at the firm level. This paper proves allocative efficiency can be measured as a profit-oriented distance to the frontier in a profit-technical ...

Land Tenure and Allocative Efficiency in Niger

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1996
AbstractUsing field‐level data, we investigate whether traditional land tenure systems are an impediment to allocative efficiency in Niger. We find that yields are strongly influenced by the manpower available to farming households, an indication that marginal returns to labor and land are not equalized across households.

Near‐Unity Chiral Lasing Enabled by Quasi‐Bound States in the Continuum

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoimprinted chiral array that supports bound states in the continuum is doped with an efficient non‐chiral molecule (Rhodamine‐B) acting as gain medium to produce fully circularly polarized lasing emission. The chiral lasing wavelength can be tuned across the emission band of Rhodamine‐B by adjusting the coating thickness of the TiO2 high refractive ...

Space‐Time Coding Conformal Metasurfaces for Multifrequency Beam Steering and Shaping

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Space‐time coding conformal metasurfaces enable dynamic wave control on curved surfaces by combining programmable spatial patterns with temporal modulation. This study shows that a single conformal aperture can independently manipulate multiple frequency components, achieving multifunctional beam shaping and steering, with implications for ...

Analysis of Allocative Efficiency in Northern Pakistan: Estimation, Causes, and Policy Implications [PDF]

Realising productivity gains in agriculture is an important challenge for Pakistan. With a fast-growing population (3.1 percent per year), it is difficult for the economy to meet domestic food requirements.

Bidirectional Process Prediction in the Laser‐Induced‐Graphene Production Using Blackbox Deep Learning

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study shows that a lightweight blackbox neural network provides a practical, cost‐effective solution for bidirectional process prediction in laser‐induced graphene (LIG) fabrication. Achieving high predictive performance with minimal overhead, the approach democratizes machine learning (ML) for resource‐limited environments.
