Persistent enhancement of exciton diffusivity in CsPbBr3 nanocrystal solids

In semiconductors, exciton or charge carrier diffusivity is typically described as an inherent material property. Here, we show that the transport of excitons among CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) depends markedly on how recently those NCs were occup ...

On the possibility of extending the service life of winter roads using renewable energy sources

Elizaveta Sharaborova

It is hard to overestimate the role of winter roads in the land logistics of the northern regions. In recent years, climate change has not only significantly reduced the service life of winter roads, but also made them less predictable. This forces transpo ...
