Selenization of V2O5/WO3 Bilayers for Tuned Optoelectronic Response of WSe2 Films
Scalable and controlled doping of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides is essential for tuning their electronic and optoelectronic properties. In this work, we demonstrate a robust approach for substitution of vanadium in tungsten diselenide (WSe$_2$) via the selenization of pre-deposited V$_2$O$_5$/WO$_3$ thin films. By adjusting the thickness of the vanadium oxide layer, the V concentration in W$_{1-x}$V$_x$Se$_2$ is systematically varied. Electrical measurements on field-effect t…

Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system with sublinear and critical nonlinearities: solutions at negative energy levels and asymptotic behaviour
We consider the following Schrödinger-Bopp-Podolsky system with critical and sublinear terms \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} - Δu+ u+Q(x)ϕu= \vert u\vert^4 u+ λK(x)\vert u \vert^{p-1}u&\mbox{ in }\ \mathbb{R}^3 \smallskip - Δϕ+ a^{2}Δ^{2} ϕ= 4πQ(x) u^{2}& \mbox{ in }\ \mathbb{R}^3. \end{cases} \end{equation*} Here $u,ϕ:\mathbb {R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are the unknowns, $Q$ and $K$ are given functions satisfying mild assumptions, $a\geq0, λ>0$ are parameters and $p\in (0,1)$…

Explaining the "too massive" high-redshift galaxies in JWST data: numerical study of three effects and a simple relation
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered high luminosity galaxies that appear to be "too many" and "too massive" compared to predictions of the Standard LCDM cosmology, suggesting that star formation in the early universe is more rapid than previously anticipated. In this paper we examine in detail the following three effects which can instead provide alternative explanations for these observations: (1) a "top heavy" initial mass function (IMF) for the stars, (2) a variety of star formatio…

Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties; a conjecture of M. Waldschmidt
Following the work of Waldschmidt, we investigate problems in Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties. First we show that a conjecture of Waldschmidt for a given simple abelian variety is equivalent to a well-known Diophantine condition holding for a certain matrix related to that variety. We then posit a related but weaker conjecture, and establish the upper bound direction of that conjecture in full generality. For rank 1 elliptic curves defined over a number field $K \subset \mathbb{R…

Ryan Flynn’s documentary “You’re No Indian”, about
"tribal disenrollment",
the controversial practice of removing Indigenous people from tribal roles, will debut at the "Dances With Films Festival" on June 28.
In the film, Flynn explores how tribal disenrollment has stripped over 11,000 Native American people of their tribal membership,
thereby erasing their identities, rights and connections to their communities.
Fueled by casino profits, p…
