Atomic Step–Terrace Ordering Enables Unprecedentedly Low Pop‐in Stress Scatter in GaN (0001)

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Step–terrace GaN surfaces with monoatomic topography were realized using catalyst‐referred etching. On these surfaces, pop‐ins occurred at ideal strength with a record‐low stress scatter of 2.3%, providing compelling evidence that atomic‐scale surface ordering plays a critical role in triggering incipient plasticity. Atomic‐scale surface irregularities,

Synthesis of Samarium‐incorporated X‐ray‐sensitive nanoparticles and hydrogels: Diverse applications in radiation monitoring and dynamic information display

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
Sm3+‐doped α‐NaLuF4 and β‐NaLuF4 were synthesized. The X‐ray‐activated persistent luminescence abilities and afterglow properties can be well controlled. Sm3+‐doped β‐NaLuF4 exhibits remarkable afterglow ability. The hexagonal β‐NaLuF4:3%Sm3+‐incorporated hydrogel can be further programmed with other types of hydrogels to enable tunable emission ...

Converging Horror: analyzing the importance of Convergence Culture on a digital audience through an examination of the conventions and politics of the horror genre [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This thesis draws attention to the genre of horror in new media through a close examination of various digital texts, arguing that these new texts, while built on traditional horror narratives used in cinema, are also examples of Convergence Culture, a ...

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy characterization of the pseudogap and the x = 1/8 anomaly in La2-xSrxCuO4 thin films

open access: yes, 2007
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy we examined the local density of states of thin c-axis La2-xSrxCuO4 films, over wide doping and temperature ranges. We found that the pseudogap exists only at doping levels lower than optimal.

Microstructure Evolution in Directionally Solidified Fe–C–Mn–(Si) Peritectic Steels

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
This study investigates how growth velocity and silicon additions affect dendritic morphology, primary arm spacing, and mushy‐zone evolution in directionally solidified quaternary peritectic steels. Silicon substantially broadens the freezing range and lengthens the mushy zone, increasing susceptibility to interdendritic cracking.

Performing Integrity: Managing Misalignment while Researching Transgressive Social Worlds

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
The qualitative literature criticizing REBs suggests that researchers should develop an approach to research ethics that does justice to their daily practice of fieldwork. In this article, I contribute to this exploration by presenting three cases of negotiating research ethics while researching transgressive social worlds.

Dewetting of thin polymer films: Influence of interface evolution

open access: yes, 2009
The dewetting dynamics of ultrathin polymer films, e.g. in the model system of polystyrene on a polydimethylsiloxane-covered substrate, exhibits interesting behavior like a fast decay of the dewetting velocity and a maximum in the width of the built-up ...

Metalinguistic Awareness in the EFL Classroom and Beyond: Exploring the Potential of Translation Tasks

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Current trends encouraging a move away from monolingual teaching have sparked a renewed interest in the role of translation in language instruction. Yet, there are few theoretically and empirically grounded proposals regarding specific uses of translation in the language classroom.
