Alumina and Hafnia ALD Layers for a Niobium-Doped Titanium Oxide Photoanode by Naji Al Dahoudi, Qifeng Zhang, Guozhong Cao

“…They showed a high photocurrent density due to their higher conductivity; however, a low open-circuit voltage was exhibited due to the back-reaction of photogenerated electrons. Atomic layer deposition is a useful technique to form a conformal ultrathin layer of Al2O3 and HfO, which act as an energy barrier to suppress the back electrons from reaching the redox medium. …”

Le poids de l’instant dans le récit ferroviaire contemporain by Mahigan Lepage

“…Here is the question that arises: how could one make narrative, i.e. duration and continuity (Jean-Paul Goux), from what first appears to be a chaos of atomized instants or snapshots? The analysis of the texts reveals a subtle process of construction in which the instant gradually settles itself into duration, through the course of a prose that runs constantly ahead of thought. …”
