Strategic control of excess tellurium to achieve high figure-of-merit in Te-rich Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 by Ranu Bhatt, Rishikesh Kumar, Pramod Bhatt, Pankaj Patro, Shovit Bhattacharya, Mani Navaneethan, Soumen Samanta, Ajay Singh

“…Microstructural analysis revealed the formation of densely interconnected polycrystalline grains featuring fine grain boundaries, planar/point defects, and strain field domains, contributing towards wide-length scale phonon scattering. The cumulative effect of drastically reduced thermal conductivity (κ ~ 0.8 W/m-K at 300 K), and enhanced power factor resulted in a record zT value ~ 2.2 at 300 K in Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 + 5 wt% Te, with an average zT value up to 1.35 in temperatures ranging from 303 to 573 K. …”

Crystal structure modulating performances for 213-nm GeO2 solar-blind photodetectors via DC reactive magnetron sputtering method by Chengming Wei, Jiabao Liu, Xinru Lan, Cheng Yang, Shuiping Huang, Dongdong Meng, Zhengwei Chen, Hongguang Duan, Xu Wang

“…On the foundation of these ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors, obvious photoresponse characteristics have been achieved at 213 nm and the quartz-GeO2 device exhibits better performances including a short fall time of 148.5 ms, a high photo-dark current ratio of 86.65, large photoresponsivity of 4.56 A/W, and high detectivity of 6.78 × 1013 Jones, which can be attributed to the less oxygen defect exists in the quartz-GeO2 film due to the oxygen-rich growth condition and the better lattice matching with sapphire. …”

Blue light irradiation combined with low-temperature storage further enhances postharvest quality of strawberries through improving antioxidant defense and cell wall metabolic acti... by Wei Lu, Wanqing Li, Keke Zhao, Xiaofeng Bai, Yuchang Zhang, Qingyun Li, Zhanjun Xue, Xin-Xin Wang

“…Over a 10-day storage period, BL irradiation significantly reduced respiratory and ethylene production rates, while preserving fruit firmness and increasing the contents of soluble sugar and total phenol at both temperatures. Additionally, increases of the enzymatic activities of antioxidant defense metabolism (e.g. superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD)) accompanied with decreased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (e.g. superoxide anion (O2−), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)) and the content of secondary metabolites (e.g. ascorbic acid (AsA)) accompanied with enhanced activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) were found in BL irradiated postharvest strawberries at the later stages of storage. …”
