Enhanced single photon emission from positioned InP/GaInP quantum dots coupled to a confined Tamm-plasmon mode
(2015-01-26) - Journal articleWe report on the enhancement of the spontaneous emission in the visible red spectral range from site-controlled InP/GaInP quantum dots by resonant coupling to Tamm-plasmon modes confined beneath gold disks in a hybrid ... -
The enhancement effect of lithium ions on actuation performance of ionic liquid-based IPMC soft actuators
(2015-10-12) - Journal articleAbstract Soft actuators are of great technological interest and one class of these is made from ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs). It has been established that replacement of water with an ionic liquid (IL) in IPMCs ... -
Enhancement of antibiotic efficacy against multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections via combination with curcumin and 1-(1-Naphthylmethyl)-Piperazine
(2016-05-20) - Journal articleObjective: The aim of this study was to determine if the plant phenolic curcumin (CUR) and the arylpiperazine 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP) could restore antibiotic efficacy versus MDR P. aeruginosa infection. ... -
Enhancement of image quality and imaging depth with Airy light-sheet microscopy in cleared and non-cleared neural tissue
(2016-10-01) - Journal articleWe have investigated the effect of Airy illumination on the image quality and depth penetration of digitally scanned light-sheet microscopy in turbid neural tissue. We used Fourier analysis of images acquired using Gaussian ... -
Enhancement of redox stability and electrical conductivity by doping various metals on ceria, Ce1-xMxO2-δ (M=Ni, Cu, Co, Mn, Ti, Zr)
(2015-09-21) - Journal articleVarious metal oxide materials have been actively investigated to improve energy efficiency as exhaust-catalyst as well as electrodes in electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, ceramic sensors, photo-catalyst etc. ... -
Enhancing student learning of two-level quantum systems with interactive simulations
(2015-06) - Journal articleThe QuVis Quantum Mechanics Visualization project aims to address challenges of quantum mechanics instruction through the development of interactive simulations for the learning and teaching of quantum mechanics. In this ... -
Enhancing the conductivity of crystalline polymer electrolytes
(University of St Andrews, 2007-11-30) - ThesisThe AsF₆⁻ anion, in the crystalline polymer electrolyte PEO₆:LiAsF₆, was replaced with the larger N(SO₂CF₃)₂⁻ anion. This produced an increase in the room temperature ionic conductivity of 1.5 orders of magnitude. It is ... -
Enhancing the emission directionality of organic light-emitting diodes by using photonic microstructures
(2013-11-21) - Journal articleWe report microstructured organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with directional emission based on efficient solution-processable europium-OLEDs patterned by solvent assisted microcontact molding. The angle dependence of ... -
Enhancing the photoluminescence quantum yields of blue-emitting cationic iridium(III) complexes bearing bisphosphine ligands
(2016-02-01) - Journal articleHerein we present a structure-property relationship study of thirteen cationic iridium (III) complexes of the form of [Ir(C^N)2(P^P)]PF6 in both solution and the solid state through systematic evaluation of six bisphosphine ... -
An enigmatic pointlike feature within the HD 169142 transitional disk
(2014-08-20) - Journal articleWe report the detection of a faint pointlike feature possibly related to ongoing planet-formation in the disk of the transition disk star HD 169142. The pointlike feature has a Delta-mag(L) ∼ 6.4, at a separation of ∼ 0" ... -
Ensuring each student reaches their potential : (2) transferability issues
(2010-11-15) - Conference paperIsolation of knowledge within disciplines, or for students, within the confines of single taught modules, diminishes the learner’s richness of understanding. Whilst flexible degree programmes are attractive to prospective ... -
Entanglement concentration with quantum nondemolition Hamiltonians
(2014-01-09) - Journal articleWe devise and examine two procrustean entanglement concentration schemes using quantum nondemolition (QND) interaction Hamiltonians in the continuous variable regime, applicable for light, for atomic ensembles or in a ... -
Entangling Remote Nuclear Spins Linked by a Chromophore
(2010-05-21) - Journal articleMolecular nanostructures may constitute the fabric of future quantum technologies, if their degrees of freedom can be fully harnessed. Ideally one might use nuclear spins as low-decoherence qubits and optical excitations ... -
Entangling the whole by beam splitting a part
(2015-11-04) - Journal articleA beam splitter is a basic linear optical element appearing in many optics experiments and is frequently used as a continuous-variable entangler transforming a pair of input modes from a separable Gaussian state into an ... -
Enter the dragon : the emerging Chinese approach to peacebuilding in Liberia
(University of St Andrews, 2013) - ThesisCritics of the liberal peace point out that the imposition of liberal democratic structures of governance through United Nations Peacekeeping Operations has not led to a sustainable peace being built. In reply, supporters ... -
Entering the black hole: the Taliban, terrorism, and organised crime
(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2014-09-01) - Journal articleCooperation and imitation among crime and terror groups in recent years has given rise to a crime-terror nexus. A linear conceptualisation of a crime-terror spectrum, suggests that complete convergence of crime and terror ... -
