TL;DR: Strain engineering of α-formamidinium lead iodide (α-FAPbI 3) is investigated using both experimental techniques and theoretical calculations, and it is demonstrated that a compressive strain effectively changes the crystal structure, reduces the bandgap and increases the hole mobility of α -FAPBI 3.
Abstract: Strain engineering is a powerful tool with which to enhance semiconductor device performance1,2. Halide perovskites have shown great promise in device applications owing to their remarkable electronic and optoelectronic properties3–5. Although applying strain to halide perovskites has been frequently attempted, including using hydrostatic pressurization6–8, electrostriction9, annealing10–12, van der Waals force13, thermal expansion mismatch14, and heat-induced substrate phase transition15, the controllable and device-compatible strain engineering of halide perovskites by chemical epitaxy remains a challenge, owing to the absence of suitable lattice-mismatched epitaxial substrates. Here we report the strained epitaxial growth of halide perovskite single-crystal thin films on lattice-mismatched halide perovskite substrates. We investigated strain engineering of α-formamidinium lead iodide (α-FAPbI3) using both experimental techniques and theoretical calculations. By tailoring the substrate composition—and therefore its lattice parameter—a compressive strain as high as 2.4 per cent is applied to the epitaxial α-FAPbI3 thin film. We demonstrate that this strain effectively changes the crystal structure, reduces the bandgap and increases the hole mobility of α-FAPbI3. Strained epitaxy is also shown to have a substantial stabilization effect on the α-FAPbI3 phase owing to the synergistic effects of epitaxial stabilization and strain neutralization. As an example, strain engineering is applied to enhance the performance of an α-FAPbI3-based photodetector. A method of deposition of mixed-cation hybrid perovskite films as lattice-mismatched substrates for an α-FAPbI3 film is described, giving strains of up to 2.4 per cent while also stabilizing the metastable α-FAPbI3 phase for several hundred days.

TL;DR: A method for removing ocular artifacts based on adaptive filtering that is easy to implement and stable, converges fast and is suitable for on-line removal of EOG artifacts.
Abstract: The electro-encephalogram (EEG) is useful for clinical diagnosts and in biomedical research. EEG signals, however, especially those recorded from frontal channels, often contain strong electro-oculogram (EOG) artifacts produced by eye movements. Existing regression-based methods for removing EOG artifacts require various procedures for preprocessing and calibration that are inconvenient and timeconsuming. The paper describes a method for removing ocular artifacts based on adaptive filtering. The method uses separately recorded vertical EOG and horizontal EOG signals as two reference inputs. Each reference input is first processed by a finite impulse response filter of length M (M=3 in this application) and then subtracted from the original EEG. The method is implemented by a recursive leastsquares algorithm that includes a forgetting factor (λ=0.9999 in this application) to track the non-stationary portion of the EOG signals. Results from experimental data demonstrate that the method is easy to implement and stable, converges fast and is suitable for on-line removal of EOG artifacts. The first three coefficients (up to M=3) were significantly larger than any remaining coefficients.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation of the mixing and combustion processes that occur in and around a cavity-based flameholder in a supersonic flow is reported, which is part of an ongoing research program aimed at providing information to help fill these voids and improve the overall understanding of cavities for use as scramjet flameholders.
Abstract: An experimental investigation of the mixing and combustion processes that occur in and around a cavity-based flameholder in a supersonic flow is reported. Cavity-based flameholders are commonly found in hydrocarbon-fueledscramjet combustors; however, detailed information concerning the behavior of these devices, their optimal shape and fueling strategies, combustion stability, and interactions with disturbances in the main airflow (i.e., shock trains or shock-boundary layer interactions) is largely unavailable in the existing literature. This work is part of an ongoing research program aimed at providing information to help fill these voids and improve the overall understanding of cavities for use as scramjet flameholders.

TL;DR: The results suggest that chiroptical properties of nanomaterials can be engineered using peptides, and this work used peptides of differing secondary structures to artificially create optically active chiral gold nanoparticles through peptide-nanoparticle interactions as observed by circular dichroism spectroscopy.
Abstract: Nature is remarkable at tailoring the chirality of different biomolecules to suit specific functions. Chiral molecules can impart optical activity to achiral materials in the form of the particle's electronic transition frequency. Herein, we used peptides of differing secondary structures (random coil and α-helix) to artificially create optically active chiral gold nanoparticles through peptide-nanoparticle interactions as observed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. This interaction produces a CD signal at the plasmon resonance frequency (∼520 nm) of the chiral peptide-nanoparticle complex. Aggregation of the peptide-coated nanoparticles using metal ions results in a red-shifted plasmonic CD response. Our results suggest that chiroptical properties of nanomaterials can be engineered using peptides.
