Mueller matrix ellipsometry on advanced nanostructures

, 2008
Ellipsometry is an optical technique used for studies of thin films and surfaces. The technique is based on measurement and analysis of the changes in the state of polarization that occur when polarized light is reflected on a sample surface.

Broad support for lethal control of wild deer among subscribers of nature organisations in England and Wales

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild deer populations are increasing across the northern hemisphere, posing challenges to the environment and people. Deer impacts can be managed using lethal and non‐lethal practices, but research suggests lethal control receives mixed support.

Rechargeable N‐Halamine Functionalized Ultra‐Thin PES Ultrafiltration Membranes

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
An automated 3D printer‐assisted casting platform is utilized to fabricate ultra‐thin polyethersulfone membranes with precise structural control. The integration of a custom‐synthesized, regenerable N‐halamine homopolymer imparts superior, cyclic antifouling resistance and rapid, broad‐spectrum antibacterial efficacy.

Competition Policy and Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty): The Role of Mergers and Acquisitions Adjudications in South Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South Africa faces persistently high poverty and inequality alongside a highly concentrated economic structure, raising questions about whether merger control, especially public‐interest provisions, can contribute to poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence directly linking merger adjudication outcomes to poverty remains limited.

Urban Housing Markets and Sustainability Risk: Empirical Evidence From South African Cities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the global shift toward sustainability and rising expectations for socially and environmentally responsible housing, evidence from South Africa's urban markets remains limited and underexplored. This study examines how sustainability‐related vulnerabilities shape downside housing risk across 60 cities between 2002 and 2021.

Multifunctional Cellulose Nanofiber Films With Embedded Highly Oriented MXene Flakes

Small, EarlyView.
The critical physical properties of freestanding micrometer‐thick films composed of layered cellulose nanofibers intercalated with Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (CNF‐MXene) are investigated to find correlated co‐alignment of MXene flakes in the cellulose nanofiber matrix by vacuum‐assisted filtration.

Enhancing Chiroptical Selectivity and Device Stability of Chiral Perovskite Photodetectors Via Interfacial AlF3 Passivation

Small Methods, EarlyView.
An ALD‐grown AlF3 underlayer promotes grain growth, defect passivation, and improved crystalline ordering in chiral perovskite films. The resulting films exhibit enhanced chiroptical properties, superior circularly polarized light photodetector performance, and improved stability, establishing an inorganic interface‐engineering strategy broadly ...

Anchorage performance of different punching shear reinforcement elements in cracked concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has been conducted on the bond and anchorage behavior of reinforcement elements in concrete. While many experimental studies have focused on uncracked concrete, the anchorage performance in the presence of cracks remains insufficiently understood.
