Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Primordial Black Holes

, 2022
reservedOne of the biggest problems in modern cosmology is to assess the nature of dark matter. We propose Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) as a possible candidate and we investigate how this scenario can be probed with the Stochastic Gravitational Wave ...

Phase Evolution Kinetics in Additive‐Free 19.75% Organic Photovoltaics Empowered by Solvent Vapor Annealing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solvent vapor annealing enables kinetic control of additive‐free morphology in organic solar cells. Selective plasticization of acceptor forms an optimal fibrillar network, boosting efficiency to 19.06% (binary) and 19.75% (ternary), with ultrafast exciton dissociation and reduced recombination.

How a Klein–Nishina Modified Eddington-limited Accretion Explains Rapid Black Hole Growth in the Early Universe

The Astrophysical Journal
The discovery of quasars and their supermassive black holes (SMBHs) over 10 ^9 ${M}_{{\rm{\odot }}}$ merely hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang generates tension with the idea of Eddington-limited accretion and pressures the community into ...

Joule–Thomson expansion of Kerr–AdS black holes

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
In this paper, we study Joule–Thomson expansion for Kerr–AdS black holes in the extended phase space. A Joule–Thomson expansion formula of Kerr–AdS black holes is derived.

Powering Nanocrystal‐Based Heat Engines With Light‐Emitting Metasurfaces That Influence Their Temperature

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metasurfaces and other structured photonic environments can dramatically modify the absorption and/or light emission of semiconductors. However, the consequences of these changes on the temperature of the system are not well understood. The authors address this problem for colloidal nanocrystals and leverage their findings to convert light into ...

Geometry of black holes and braneworlds in higher dimensions [PDF]

, 2004
This tliesis first discusses braneworld models, we explain how the bulk geometry in codimension 2 scenarios restricts braneworld fields in a way inconsistent with observation.

A semi-empirical model to constrain the growth of supermassive black holes [PDF]

, 2022
openThe presence of super massive black holes (SMBHs) at the center of galaxies has been proved by the most recent observations. The mass of these SMBHs is found to correlate with a number of properties of the host galaxies and such relations have been ...

Spatially Decoupling Heating and Evaporation for Convection‐Enhanced 3D Solar Evaporation With Continuous Salt Harvesting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An architecture‐enabled bottom‐heated 3D solar convective evaporator spatially decouples photothermal heating from evaporation, triggering natural convection that intensifies sidewall vapour removal and heat transfer. The system achieves significantly enhanced evaporation rates over 2D and conventional 3D designs while confining salt precipitation to ...
