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.…”

Monitoring of Heavy Metal Pollution in Water and Sediments at the Mid-Black Sea Region by Using Passive Sampling Method Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films by Arife Şimşek, Şule Sancak, Gülfem Bakan

“…In Samsun, seasonal samples were collected from five different sampling stations, namely Akkiraz Stream, Hıdırellez Stream, Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ) Channel, Şabanoğlu Stream and Selyeri Stream, which are selected from Tekkeköy region where industry is intensively active. In order to determine the heavy metal content in both water and sediment samples, the DGT method was chosen for passive sampling and the grab sampling method was used for active sampling, and the efficiency of the methods was evaluated. …”

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. …”
