We show that Auger processes involving wetting layer transitions mediate emission from a cavity that is detuned from a quantum dot by even tens of meV. The wetting layer thus acts as a reservoir, which by Coulomb scattering can supply or absorb the energy difference between emitter and cavity. We perform microscopic calculations of the effect treating the wetting layer as a non-Markovian reservoir interacting with the coupled quantum dot-cavity system through Coulomb interactions. Experimentally, cavity feeding has been observed in the asymmetric detuning range of -10 to +45 meV. We show that this asymmetry arises naturally from the quasiequilibrium properties of the wetting layer reservoir. Furthermore, we present numerical calculations of both photoluminescence spectra and photon correlations, demonstrating good qualitative agreement with experiments.

Water infiltration into soil is important in geotechnical engineering. The classical Green-Ampt (GA) infiltration model is widely used in soil infiltration due to its physical significance, but it ignores the actual unsaturated layer in the infiltration process and has some deficiencies. Thus, the present study established a modified GA infiltration model (MLGA model) using Darcy's infiltration law and continuity equation to fully consider the variation characteristics of the soil water profile in the infiltration process.

Surface wettability, defined by the contact angle, describes the ability of a liquid to spread over, absorb or adhere to a solid surface. Surface wetting analysis is important in many applications, such as lubrication, heat transfer, painting and wherever liquids interact with solid surfaces. The behavior of liquids on surfaces depends mainly on the texture and chemical properties of the surface.

The surfaces of beech wood samples were treated with polyethylenimine (PEI) solutions at three different concentrations-0.5%, 1% and 2%-and two molecular weights-low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW). The effects of PEI surface treatment of wood were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, the penetration depth of PEI (EPI fluorescence spectroscopy), the bonding position of PEI (by SEM), the wetting and surface energy, and the water uptake.

This study explored the influence of graphene oxide (GO) on morphological and mechanical properties of Nafion 115 membranes with the objective of enhancing the mechanical properties of the most widely employed membrane in Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers (PEMWE) applications. The membrane surface was modified by ultrasonically spraying a GO solution and different annealing temperatures were tested. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) cross-sectional images revealed that annealing the composite membranes was sufficient to favor an interaction between the graphene oxide and the surface of the Nafion membranes.

To effectively utilize sesbania gum in coal dust control and address the limitations of excessive viscosity and mediocre strength, oxidation treatment was used to improve its fluidity. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium trimetaphosphite (STMP) were used to enhance oxidized sesbania gum OSG, and crosslinking technology was used to improve its mechanical stability. This study developed a novel foam dust suppressant OSG-PVA/SDBS by response surface design, and the optimized dust suppressant material exhibited excellent adhesion and curing properties.
