Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Estimation Under Monotonicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ill‐posedness of the nonparametric instrumental variable (NPIV) model leads to estimators that may suffer from poor statistical performance. In this paper, we explore the possibility of imposing shape restrictions to improve the performance of the ...

Compositing Effect Leads to Extraordinary Performance in GeSe‐Based Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Rhombohedral GeSe is rationally designed with (GeSe)0.9(AgBiTe2)0.1‐1.5 mol.% SnSe, achieving a peak ZT of 1.31 at 623 K. Forming a composite with SnSe establishes interfaces with strong phonon scattering and weak electron scattering. Multiscale defects lead to an ultra‐low lattice thermal conductivity (0.26 W m−1 K−1), approaching the amorphous limit.

Monotonicity - analytic and geometric implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this expository article, we discuss various monotonicity formulas for parabolic and elliptic operators and explain how the analysis of the function spaces and the geometry of the underlining spaces are intertwined.

Monotonicity and inequalities for the gamma function

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, by using the monotonicity rule for the ratio of two Laplace transforms, we prove that the function x↦124x(lnΓ(x+1/2)−xlnx+x−ln2π)+1−1207x2$$ x\mapsto \frac{1}{24x ( \ln \Gamma ( x+1/2 ) -x\ln x+x- \ln \sqrt{2\pi } ) +1}-\frac{120}{7}x^{2} $

On approximating the modified Bessel function of the second kind

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2017
In the article, we prove that the double inequalities π e − x 2 ( x + a ) < K 0 ( x ) < π e − x 2 ( x + b ) , 1 + 1 2 ( x + a ) < K 1 ( x ) K 0 ( x ) < 1 + 1 2 ( x + b ) $$ \frac{\sqrt{\pi}e^{-x}}{\sqrt{2(x+a)}}< K_{0}(x)< \frac{\sqrt{\pi }e^{-x}}{\sqrt ...

Single Atom‐Particle Tandem Catalysis Enables Enhanced Desolvation Kinetics for Low‐Temperature Li‐S Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, the tandem catalyst consisted of single Fe atom and Fe3C nanoparticles on porous carbon sheet is initially proposed and developed to facilitate the dissociation of Li(solvent)x+ to release more isolated Li+ to participate in the subsequent polysulfide redox conversions by decreasing the related barriers, contributing to fast kinetics of ...

Photoactivation of NV Centers in Diamond via Continuous Wave Laser Illumination of Shallow As‐Implanted Nitrogen

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an alternative method of creating charge‐stable negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV−) centers close to the diamond surface without high‐temperature annealing. By illuminating nitrogen‐implanted regions with a continuous‐wave 405 nm laser, NV− centers are induced, exhibiting electron spin coherence properties suitable for ...
