Defect Properties and Band Energetics of Atomic Layer Deposited MoOX on Crystalline Si

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Atomic layer deposited MoOx thin films grown using oxygen plasma and ozone co‐reactants exhibit tunable defect densities and band energetics. Optical and X#x02010;ray photoelectron spectroscopies reveal oxygen#x02010;vacancy#x02010;induced defect and polaron states and their impact on band alignment at the c#x02010;Si/MoOx interface, providing insight ...

Trapped Fluorine Enables Thermally Stable Broadband Photodetection in Graphene/Fluorinated Graphene Heterostructure

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fluorinated graphene has opened new opportunities for real‐world applications; however, its working and thermal stability are key issues for practical use. This study successfully demonstrates the stability of a fluorinated graphene‐based photodetector, achieved through a graphene, fluorinated graphene heterostructure (Gr/F‐Gr HS).

Anthropological dimension of the parable of the talents (Mt 25, 14-30) [PDF]

Glasnik Etnografskog Instituta SANU
The paper conducts an anthropological study of Jesus’ metaphorical call to his disciples to emulate enslaved individuals who reliably carry out the business interests of their master, as conveyed in his Parable of the Talents (Mt 25, 14- 30). In

Development of Laterally Graded X‐Ray Multilayer Optics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents the development of laterally graded X‐ray multilayer optics with both constant and variable lateral gradients. By precisely controlling substrate speed profiles and mask design, these multilayers achieve highly accurate lateral gradients and excellent sagittal thickness uniformity, making them ideal for spectroscopy application at ...

Pragmatic dimensions in parable research and the divine economy of the basileia

HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2014
Interpreting a parable requires the decoding of the nature of an analogy which will reveal the degree of the deciphering of the riddle communicated through parabolic discourse.

Cellulose‐Nanofiber‐Based Layered Sub‐Terahertz Absorbing Sheets for B5G/6G Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We report a sub‐terahertz absorber made of biodegradable cellulose‐nanofiber (CNF), potentially useful for B5G/6G devices to achieve electromagnetic compatibility in an eco‐friendly way. The absorber is 120 µm thick and consists of two carbon‐nanotube‐dispersed CNF layers and one pure CNF layer.

Birds and Beasts in the Zhuangzi, Fables Interpreted by Guo Xiang and Cheng Xuanying

Religions, 2019
Birds and beasts often appear in the Zhuangzi, in fables and parables meant to be read analogically as instructions for human thought and behavior. Whereas the analogical significance of some fables is obvious, in others it is obscure and in need of ...

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.
