NaCl co‐doping effectively enhances the thermoelectric performance of p‐type Bi–Sb–Te (BST) alloys through simultaneous Na+ substitution at Sb sites and Cl− substitution at Te sites, inducing local lattice distortion and defect engineering. At low doping levels, carrier transport is optimized by tuning carrier concentration and suppressing antisite ...

TeV gamma-ray emission from accreting binary pulsars [PDF]
The high-mass X-ray binary SMC X-1 has been observed during the interval 1986-1989 at a threshold γ-ray energy of 0.4 TeV using the University of Durham Mark III air Cerenkov telescope at Narrabri.

Bolide Light Curve Systematics from 75 Recovered Meteorites
Abstract How does the energy deposition profile (light curve), deceleration, and penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere depend on asteroid composition and meteorite type? Here, we present the light curve and velocity profile of 75 bolides from camera‐documented meteorite falls.

Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy [PDF]
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has become an active astrophysical discipline with four confirmed sources of TeV gamma rays, two plerionic supernova remnants (SNRs) and two BL Lac objects (BL Lacs). An additional nine objects (one plerion, three shell-type SNRs, one X-ray binary, and four BL Lacs) have been detected but have not been confirmed by ...

Challenges and Opportunities for Layered Double Perovskite Solar Cells
Layered lead‐free double perovskites suffer from intrinsic and extrinsic limitations that hinder high photovoltaic performance. This review identifies key challenges, including unfavorable band structures, strong self‐trapping, defect‐induced recombination, processing‐induced inhomogeneity, and device‐level mismatches.

The sensitivity of the Durham mk6 ground-based atmospheric cherenkov telescope to very high energy gamma-ray sources [PDF]
The subject of this thesis is a determination of the sensitivity of the Durham Mk6 ground based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (lACT), an instrument which uses the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique to detect Very High Energy (VHE) gamma ...

The attenuation of atmospheric Cerenkov photons [PDF]
Whilst the atmosphere places a limit on the successful applications of many branches of astronomy, it becomes an invaluable tool for the detection of very high energy γ-rays. This thesis is concerned with reducing the systematic uncertainties inherent to
