Study of Natural and Accelerated Weathering on Mechanical Properties of Antioxidants Modified Low Density Polyethylene Films for Greenhouse by Othman Al Othman, Shan Faiz, Muhammad Abduh Tuasikal

“…The best elongation at break was witnessed in 0.2% Good-rite antioxidants which were 64% in natural weathering; however, 0.5% Good-rite antioxidants showed 232% in accelerated weathering. The film having 0.5 wt% Good-rite 3114 (GR-0.5) antioxidant could withstand 70 days during natural exposure before the tensile strength values were reduced to 2/3rd of the initial. …”

Parallel tempered Bayesian inference for characterizing non-ideal semiconductors: Carrier trapping in cadmium telluride thin films by Calvin Fai, Anthony J.C. Ladd, Charles J. Hages, Gregory A. Manoukian, Jason B. Baxter

“…A “parallel tempering” scheme is introduced, which efficiently and reliably locates the global maximum in the complex multimodal distributions that are characteristic of cadmium telluride (CdTe) films. Our results show that the standard carrier transport model cannot explain the observed decay of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) data from CdTe films and that there is carrier trapping within low-lying defect states. …”
