Generalized Method to Extract Carrier Diffusion Length from Photoconductivity Transients: Cases of BiVO_{4}, Halide Perovskites, and Amorphous and Crystalline Silicon by Markus Schleuning, Moritz Kölbach, Fatwa F. Abdi, Klaus Schwarzburg, Martin Stolterfoht, Rainer Eichberger, Roel van de Krol, Dennis Friedrich, Hannes Hempel

“…The temporal evolution of charge carrier displacement is monitored and converges after about 100 ns to a diffusion length of about 15 nm, which rationalizes the photocurrent loss in the corresponding photoelectrochemical device. The presented method is further validated on a-Si:H, c-Si, and halide perovskite, which underlines its potential to determine the diffusion length in a wide range of semiconductors, including disordered materials.…”

A Multi-Objective Decision-Making Method for Optimal Scheduling Operating Points in Integrated Main-Distribution Networks with Static Security Region Constraints by Kang Xu, Zhaopeng Liu, Shuaihu Li

“…Thirdly, a risk assessment matrix is constructed through optimal power flow calculations across multiple load levels, with the index weights determined via principal component analysis (PCA). Subsequently, a scheduling optimization model is formulated to minimize both the system generation costs and the comprehensive risk, where the adaptive grid density-improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization (AG-MOPSO) algorithm is employed to efficiently generate Pareto-optimal operating point solutions. …”

Relaxation-exchange magnetic resonance imaging (REXI): a non-invasive imaging method for evaluating trans-barrier water exchange in the choroid plexus by Xuetao Wu, Qingping He, Yu Yin, Shuyuan Tan, Baogui Zhang, Weiyun Li, Yi-Cheng Hsu, Rong Xue, Ruiliang Bai

“…This study was conducted to develop a novel, contrast-agent-free MRI technique, termed relaxation-exchange magnetic resonance imaging (REXI), for evaluating CP-CSF water transport, a potential biomarker of CP function. Methods REXI utilizes the inherent and large difference in magnetic resonance transverse relaxation times (T 2s) between CP tissue (e.g., blood vessels and epithelial cells) and CSF. …”
