Atomic Size Misfit for Electrocatalytic Small Molecule Activation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the application and mechanisms of atomic size misfit in catalysis for small molecule activation, focusing on how structural defects and electronic properties can effectively lower the energy barriers of chemical bonds in molecules like H2O, CO2, and N2.

Anytime Cognition: An information agent for emergency response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Planning under pressure in time-constrained environments while relying on uncertain information is a challenging task. This is particularly true for planning the response during an ongoing disaster in a urban area, be that a natural one, or a deliberate ...

Formation of 2D Electron Gas at a Non‐Polar Perovskite Oxide Interface: SrHfO3/BaSnO3

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Through experiments and Poisson‐Schrödinger simulations, 2D electron gas formed at the non‐polar SrHfO3/BaSnO3 interface is observed. A large conduction band offset enables modulation doping by the intrinsic deep donors in SrHfO3, resulting in carrier confinement in BaSnO3 without relying on interfacial polarization or termination‐layer engineering ...
