In semiconductor nanowire (NW) photodetectors, the Schottky barrier formed by the contact between metal and semiconductor can act as a depletion layer. For NW structures with a smaller diameter, the depletion region is especially important to the carrier transport. We prepared a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well NW photodetector with a two-dimensional electron-hole tube, in which the two-dimensional hole tube (2DHT) formed by the inner layer of GaAs and AlGaAs has the most important role in the regulation of carriers. By adjusting the bias voltage to vary the depth of the depletion region, we have confirmed the influence of the depletion region in a 2DHT. A significant inflection point was found in the responsivity-voltage curve at 1.5 V. By combining the depletion region and 2DHT, the responsivity of the fabricated device was increased by 18 times to 0.199 A W and the detectivity is increased by 5 times to 5.8 × 10 Jones, compared to the pure GaAs NW photodetector. Reasonable combination of depletion layer and 2DHT was proved to promote high-performance NW photodetector.

Cavity correlations and the onset of charge ordering at charged interfaces: A modified Poisson-Fermi approach.

J Chem Phys

Charge layering in the close vicinity of charged interfaces is a well-known effect, extensively reported in both experiments and simulations of Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) and concentrated electrolytes. The traditional Poisson-Fermi (PF) theory is able to successfully describe overcrowding effects but fails to reproduce charge ordering even in strong coupling regimes. Simple models, yet capable of investigating the interplay between these important interfacial phenomena, are still lacking.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) impacts millions of elderly adults worldwide causing cognitive decline and severe deterioration of activities of daily life. The popular causal hypotheses for several decades include beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation. AD research and more than 34% of clinical trials in AD are based on these two hypotheses.

Recent research has highlighted widespread dysregulation of alternative polyadenylation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP). Here, we identify significant disruptions to 3` UTR polyadenylation in the ALS/FTLD-TDP mouse model rNLS8 that correlate with changes in gene expression and protein levels through the re-analysis of published RNA sequencing and proteomic data. A subset of these changes are shared with TDP-43 knock-down mice suggesting depletion of endogenous mouse TDP-43 is a contributor to polyadenylation dysfunction in rNLS8 mice.

African swine fever (ASF) is considered as one of the most threatening diseases for the pig farming industry all over the world. Due to the lack of an effective vaccine, organized farms and backyard rearing must strictly enforce control measures in order to combat the disease. The present report describes the ASF epidemic in a piggery in Uttar Pradesh state, India.

Health and nutrition of individuals are tied to reproductive success, which determines population viability. Environmental variability and anthropogenic effects can affect the health and nutrition of a species leading to reproductive repercussions which can hinder recovery of endangered populations. Indices of health and nutrition were examined for an imperiled species, delta smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, in relation to their reproductive status to evaluate the effects of hydrologic conditions in the San Francisco Estuary and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
