High-performance vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photodetectors are of great significance to
space science, radiation monitoring, electronic industry and basic science. Due to the …

Characterizing the atmospheres of extrasolar planets is the new frontier in exoplanetary
science. The last two decades of exoplanet discoveries have revealed that exoplanets are …

A new collection of photodissociation and photoionisation cross sections for 102 atoms and
molecules of astrochemical interest has been assembled, along with a brief review of the …

Silicon oxide layer is deposited on a semiconductor substrate by PECVD at a temperature of
less than about 200 C. and is treated with helium plasma to reduce stress of the deposited …

We present an update of the open-source photochemical kinetics code VULCAN to include
C–H–N–O–S networks and photochemistry. The additional new features are advection …

Over the past two decades, solar-and astrophysicists and material scientists have been
researching and developing new-generation semiconductor-based vacuum ultraviolet …

A low-dimensional-structure vacuum-ultraviolet-sensitive photodetector based on high-
quality aluminum nitride (AlN) micro-/nanowires is reported. This work, for the first time …

Neptune-sized extrasolar planets that orbit relatively close to their host stars—often called"
hot Neptunes"—are common within the known population of exoplanets and planetary …

Over the past 20 years, astro and solar physicists have been working hard to develop a new-
generation semiconductor-based vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV, 100–200 nm) photodetector with …

The atmospheric temperatures of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b straddle the transition
between gas giants and stars, and therefore between two traditionally distinct regimes of …
