High‐Mobility p‐Channel Thin‐Film Transistors Based on Polycrystalline GeSn by Kenta Moto, Shintaro Maeda, Kota Igura, Linyu Huang, Atsuki Morimoto, Keisuke Yamamoto, Kaoru Toko

“…A bilayer structure with modulated deposition temperatures simultaneously suppressed nucleation and promoted growth, thereby enabling the formation of large‐grained GeSn layers. The sample exhibited high Hall hole mobility (230 cm2 V−1 s−1) and low hole concentration (4.1 × 1017 cm−3), which are the best electrical properties for polycrystalline Ge‐based thin films applicable for accumulation‐mode TFTs. …”

Assessing the performance and explainability of an avalanche danger forecast model by C. Pérez-Guillén, F. Techel, M. Volpi, A. van Herwijnen

“…The model effectively captured temporal dynamics and variations across different slope aspects and elevations but showed lower performance during periods with persistent weak layers in the snowpack. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were employed to make the model's decision process more transparent, reducing its “black-box” nature. …”
