Migrants' minority-language newspeakerism: The pervasiveness of nation-state monolingual regimes in transnational contexts [PDF]
From a critical sociolinguistics perspective, this paper investigates processes of minority-language newspeakerism among 23 migrants from heterogeneous socioeconomic and language backgrounds.

Gate‐Tunable Hole Transport in In‐Plane Ge Nanowires by V‐Groove Confined Selective Epitaxy
Ge nanowires are promising for hole spin‐based quantum processors, requiring direct integration onto Si wafers. This work introduces V‐groove‐confined selective epitaxy for in‐plane nanowire growth on Si. Structural and low‐temperature transport measurements confirm their high crystalline quality, gate‐tunable hole densities, and mobility.

The Polarisation Phenomenon: Case of Spain [PDF]
The work of the Spanish sociologist Luis Miller is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of polarisation typical of many countries of the modern world ‒ the division of society into two confrontational, or even warring camps.

Catalanism and national emancipation movements in the rest of Europe between 1885 and 1939 [PDF]
Catalans’ demands for self-government were always attuned to the national emancipation movements in the rest of Europe. This was one way of projecting the movement abroad and seeking strategic models and international support, even though only ...

One of the main tendencies developing under the domination of great official languages and the international English is the resurrection of minor Roman languages, such as Occitan. The reason of their successful and increasing support by the local population is a psychological necessity to express, evolve and show their linguistic personality, to bring ...

Boosting Polysulfide Conversion on Fe‐Doped Nickel Diselenide Toward Robust Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
This work reports an advanced functional material based on Fe‐doped nickel diselenides toward robust lithium–sulfur batteries, demonstrating that Fe‐rich cores and surface doping enhance the density of states at the Fermi level and introduce unpaired electrons for the improvement of the LiPS adsorption and catalytic conversion. Abstract Sulfur offers a

Catalan Nationalism and Challenges to the Territorial Integrity of Spain
At the beginning of the 21st century Spain faced a number of challenges, primarily the growth of separatist sentiments in the regions fraught with the danger of its fragmentation on ethno-national basis.

Analogue model for quantum gravity phenomenology [PDF]
So called "analogue models" use condensed matter systems (typically hydrodynamic) to set up an "effective metric" and to model curved-space quantum field theory in a physical system where all the microscopic degrees of freedom are well understood. Known analogue models typically lead to massless minimally coupled scalar fields.

Wafer‐Scale Synthesis of Topological Insulator Sb2Te3 Thin Films
This work demonstrates how the topologically protected conduction in Sb2Te3 thin films can be extended from few‐mm2 samples’ area up to larger areas of several cm2 Si(111) wafers. The reported findings represent a breakthrough for the future technology scale‐up of topological insulators for applications such as spintronics, thermoelectrics, and quantum
