The Redshift Evolution of the MBH–M* Scaling Relation: New Insights from Cosmological Simulations and Semianalytic Models by Shashank Dattathri, Priyamvada Natarajan, Antonio J. Porras-Valverde, Colin J. Burke, Nianyi Chen, Tiziana Di Matteo, Yueying Ni

“…We study the coevolution of black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies in the A STRID and TNG300 cosmological simulations and the D ARK S AGE semianalytic model (SAM), focusing on the evolution of the BH mass–stellar mass ( M _BH – M _* ) relation. Due to differences in the adopted subgrid modeling of BH seeding, dynamics, and feedback, the models differ in their predicted redshift evolution of the M _BH – M _* relation. …”

Improving the Efficiency of Transverse Magnetic Polarized Emission from AlGaN Based LEDs by Using Nanowire Photonic Crystal by Xianhe Liu, Kishwar Mashooq, Thomas Szkopek, Zetian Mi

“…In this paper, we have performed detailed studies of the EQE of AlGaN nanowire photonic crystal LEDs in this wavelength range by finite-difference time-domain simulation. By coupling in-plane emission to vertical emission, light-extraction efficiency (LEE) over 90% can, in principle, be expected from the device top surface for transverse magnetic polarized photons that was not previously possible in conventional planar quantum well devices. …”
