Nano-emitting Heterostructures Violate Optical Reciprocity and Enable Efficient Photoluminescence in Halide-Segregated Methylammonium-Free Wide Bandgap Perovskites

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Peter Joseph Fiala, Christian Michael Wolff, Chien-Jen Yang, Pietro Caprioglio

This work investigates halide segregation in methylammonium-free wide bandgap perovskites by photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and advanced electron microscopy techniques. Our study reveals how the formation of nano-emitting low-energy domains embedde ...

Directional Local Field Potentials in the Subthalamic Nucleus During Deep Brain Implantation of Parkinson's Disease Patients

André Mercanzini, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen

Segmented deep brain stimulation leads feature directional electrodes that allow for a finer spatial control of electrical stimulation compared to traditional ring-shaped electrodes. These segmented leads have demonstrated enlarged therapeutic windows and ...

'Green' Cr(III)-based electrodeposition of stainless steel-like FeCrNi: synthesis, mechanisms, material properties of films and micro-nanocomponents for bio-medical applications

Enrico Bertero

The electrodeposition (ED) of stainless steel (SS) -like FeCrNi alloys for miniaturised devices is appealing for bio-medicine as it would allow combining excellent material properties (e.g. corrosion resistance, hardness, bio-compatibility) at low-cost. Ho ...

The negative triangularity tokamak: stability limits and prospects as a fusion energy system

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Laurent Villard, Andrei Martynov

The paper discusses edge stability, beta limits and power handling issues for negative triangularity tokamaks. The edge magnetohydrodynamic stability is the most crucial item for power handling. For the case of negative triangularity the edge stability pic ...

Amorphous silicon based betavoltaic devices

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Dunand, Yannick Samuel Riesen, Andrea Franco

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon betavoltaic devices are studied both by simulation and experimentally. Devices exhibiting a power density of 0.1 μW/cm2 upon Tritium exposure were fabricated. However, a significant degradation of the performance is taking pl ...

EEG beta band activity is related to attention and attentional deficits in the visual performance of elderly subjects

Izabela Szumska

We have previously shown that beta-band EEG activity is related to attentional modulation in the visual system of cats and humans. In a separate experiment we also observed that some elderly subjects expressed beta-band power decreases during a simple visu ...

Proton-triton nuclear reaction in ICRF heated plasmas in JET

Duccio Testa, Christian Schlatter

Fast protons can react with tritons in an endothermic nuclear reaction which can act as a source of neutrons in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. We have performed an experiment to systematically study this reaction in low tritium concentration (approx ...
