Acceptor and donor impurity levels in hexagonal-diamond silicon [PDF]
arXivRecent advances in the characterization of hexagonal-diamond silicon (2H-Si) have shown that this material possesses remarkably different structural, electronic, and optical properties as compared to the common cubic-diamond (3C) polytype. Interestingly, despite the wide range of physical properties analyzed, to date no study has investigated impurity ...

Interaction of dopants with the I$_3$-type basal stacking fault in hexagonal-diamond Si [PDF]
arXivRecently synthesized hexagonal-diamond silicon, germanium, and silicon-germanium nanowires exhibit remarkable optical and electronic properties when compared to cubic-diamond polytypes. Because of the metastability of the hexagonal-diamond phase, I$_3$-type basal stacking faults are frequently observed in these materials.

More Voices Than Ever? Quantifying Media Bias in Networks [PDF]
Proceedings of the Fifth International AAAI Conference on Weblogs
and Social Media (ICWSM 2011), 17-21 July 2011, Barcelona, Spain, 2011 Social media, such as blogs, are often seen as democratic entities that allow more voices to be heard than the conventional mass or elite media. Some also feel that social media exhibits a balancing force against the arguably slanted elite media. A systematic comparison between social and mainstream media is necessary but challenging due to the scale ...

Understanding the Emergence of Ill‐being at Work in a Post‐colonial Context: A Qualitative Analysis
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Little is known about how ill‐being at work is produced in a post‐colonial context. In this study, we explore this process through the lens of Critical Theory, examining the interplay between heteronomous obedience and the politicization of belonging in a multinational company in Pakistan.
