Effective Hexagonal Boron Nitride Passivation of Few-Layered InSe and GaSe to Enhance Their Electronic and Optical Properties.
Indium selenide (InSe) and gallium selenide (GaSe), members of the III-VI chalcogenide family, are emerging two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with appealing electronic properties. However, their devices are still lagging behind because of their sensitivity to air and device fabrication processes which induce structural damage and hamper their intrinsic properties. Thus, in order to obtain high-performance and stable devices, effective passivation of these air-sensitive materials is strongly required. Here, we demonstrate a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)-based encapsulation technique, where 2D layers of InSe and GaSe are covered entirely between two layers of hBN. To fabricate devices out of fully encapsulated 2D layers, we employ the lithography-free via-contacting scheme. We find that hBN acts as an excellent encapsulant and a near-ideal substrate for InSe and GaSe by passivating them from the environment and isolating them from the charge disorder at the SiO2 surface. As a result, the encapsulated InSe devices are of high quality and ambient-stable for a long time and show an improved two-terminal mobility of 30-120 cm2 V-1 s-1 as compared to mere ∼1 cm2 V-1 s-1 for unencapsulated devices. On employing this technique to GaSe, we obtain a strong and reproducible photoresponse. In contrast to previous studies, where either good performance or long-term stability was achieved, we demonstrate a combination of both in our devices. This work thus provides a systematic study of fully encapsulated devices based on InSe and GaSe, which has not been reported until now. We believe that this technique can open ways for fundamental studies as well as toward the integration of these materials in technological applications.

Lesson: Introduction to Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) Passivation of Few-Layered InSe and GaSe for Enhanced Electronic and Optical Properties

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of passivating few-layered InSe and GaSe using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to enhance their electronic and optical properties. We will also explore the benefits of using hBN as an encapsulant and a substrate for these materials.

**Prerequisites:** Basic knowledge of semiconductors, crystal structures, and material science.

**Section 1: Introduction to hBN Passivation**

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an insulating, wide-bandgap, and chemically inert material that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. InSe and GaSe are emerging 2D semiconductors with attractive electronic properties, but they are sensitive to air and device fabrication processes, which can damage their structure and impede their intrinsic properties. Therefore, effective passivation of these materials is crucial for achieving high-performance and stable devices.

**Section 2: hBN as an Encapsulant and Substrate**

hBN is an excellent encapsulant for InSe and GaSe because it provides a protective barrier against environmental factors such as moisture and oxygen, which can degrade the performance of these materials. Moreover, hBN has a high thermal conductivity, which helps dissipate heat generated during device operation, improving the overall performance and stability of the devices. Additionally, hBN is a near-ideal substrate for InSe and GaSe because it has a similar lattice constant, which minimizes strain between the layers and ensures good contact between the layers and the electrodes.

**Section 3: Fabrication of Devices using hBN Passivation**

To fabricate devices out of fully encapsulated 2D layers of InSe and GaSe, we employ the lithography-free via-contacting scheme. This technique involves depositing metal contacts on the top and bottom layers of the encapsulated 2D materials, creating vias through the hBN layers to connect the electrodes. This method eliminates the need for complex lithography processes, making it more accessible and cost-effective for large-scale production.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, hBN passivation of few-layered InSe and GaSe is essential for enhancing their electronic and optical properties. hBN acts as an excellent encapsulant and a near-ideal substrate for these materials, providing protection against environmental factors and minimizing strain between the layers. The lithography-free via-contacting scheme allows for the fabrication of high-performance and stable devices at a lower cost. By applying these techniques, we can develop advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices with improved performance and stability.

EXCLUSIVE: Sheriff Says Murdered 19-Year Old Nicholas Hawkins Knew His Killers, But Refuses To Discuss Motive

A sheriff in rural Alabama is refusing to say whether authorities believe a bisexual teen was brutally murdered due to his sexual orientation.Â

Walker County Sheriff Jim Underwood initially told The New Civil Rights Movement on Friday morning that the murder of Nicholas Hawkins “wasn’t a hate crime.”Â

But later in the interview, Underwood backtracked.Â

“We havenâ€™t discussed that with anybody yet, about the motive,” Underwood said in an exclusive interview. “If we lock ourselves in on something right at this point and that changes, attorneys will eat us alive on that.Â

“It depends on what you call a hate crime,Â but I canâ€™t go into the motive, what we think the motive might have been,” Underwood added. “At this time, weâ€™re not going to go into that, because it will come out in the court process, here sometime probably in the near future. Iâ€™m not going to speculate on that right now.”Â

Asked about Alabama’s hate crimes law, Underwood said he was unsure whether it includes sexual orientation.

It does not.Â

Asked about the federal Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Act â€” which includes sexual orientation and allows the FBI to assist local agencies with hate crime investigations â€” Underwood said, “We handled the case ourselves.”Â

Underwood’s office has arrested six people in connection with the murder of Hawkins, whose body was found wrapped in a blanket and buried under brush and debris, three days after he disappeared. Three of the suspects are charged with murder, while the other three are charged with hindering prosecution.Â

Underwood said Hawkins died from a gunshot wound to the chest, but declined to say how many times he’d been shot. Underwood also said Hawkins’ body showed signs of head trauma, indicating he was beaten prior to being shot.Â

Hawkins’ older brother, Jacob Hawkins, has described his brother’s murder as “a horrible, horrible death.”

Hawkins knew all six of the suspects, and they were “hanging out” on the night of his murder, Underwood said.

News reports have indicated Hawkins, an aspiring cosmetologist, was on his way home from a beauty pageant Feb. 13 when he called his mother and said, “Somebody is trying to kill me,” before the call cut off.

But Underwood said investigators have been unable to confirm that Hawkins ever went to the pageant.Â

Hawkins’ body was found Feb. 16, the same day the first suspect was arrested.Â

A representative from the Walker County District Attorney’s office couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.Â

Lesson: Exploring the Names of Islands

Introduction:
Islands are land masses that are surrounded by water. They come in different shapes and sizes, and each has its own unique name. In this lesson, we will explore the names of some interesting islands from around the world.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
- An island is a piece of land that is surrounded by water and is not connected to a larger landmass.
- The names of islands often reflect the history, culture, or geography of the area where they are located.

Section 2: Questions and Answers
- What are some factors that influence the naming of islands?
    - The history, culture, or geography of the area where the island is located can all play a role in the naming of an island.
- How do island names change over time?
    - Island names can change over time as the culture or language of the area changes or as new discoveries are made about the island.

Section 3: Definitions and Purpose
- History: The study of past events, particularly in human societies.
- Culture: The customs, practices, and beliefs of a particular group of people.
- Geography: The study of the physical features of the Earth's surface.

Practical Examples:
- The island of Manhattan in New York City was named after the Native American Lenape word "manahachtanienk," which means "island of the quantites."
- The island of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean was named after Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a Christian martyr who died in 304 AD.

Section 4: Real-World Scenarios
- Imagine you are a sailor exploring a new island. How might the name of the island reflect its history or culture?
    - If the island was named after a saint, it may indicate that the island has a strong Christian heritage. If the island was named after a native word, it may indicate that the native population played an important role in the island's history.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the names of islands and how they can reflect the history, culture, or geography of the area where they are located. We have also explored practical examples of how island names can be derived from native languages or religious figures.

Q:

Live Partial Table / column replication

I want to know if there is a way to achieve the following with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition?
I have Table A: on Server 1 with say 10 columns.
Table A:
| col1 | col2 | col3 | coln | col10 |

on Server 2, I need a live copy of Table A in Table B on Server 2. However I only actually need 3 of the columns replicated, as that's all I use.
Table B:
| col1 | col3 | col10 |

I mentioned "live" above, By this I mean that when I insert a new value or update a new value in Table A that change will be propagated as soon as it can to Table B.
Table B is a read only table. And Table A gets data written to it. So A will be the publisher and B the subscriber.
How can I achieve this sort of setup?  In other words do I need to use some sort of replication? or can I achieve this with Always ON High Availability.

A:

You could also solve this with a trigger that populates the copy of the table on insert/update/delete. It wasn't clear in the question that these tables are actually on different servers, and that the subscriber was unreliable. In that case you could simply log ship to the subscriber - you can get pretty close to real time here, though you will have to kick users out temporarily as you restore new logs. If log shipping the entire database is a concern, then you could instead use a trigger to populate another database on the same instance - which only has this table and the required columns populated - and then log ship that database to the other instance:

I have a blog post on making log shipping work much more like a set of readable secondaries:L

Readable Secondaries on a Budget

You can also look at these posts for an approach I've used to do something a lot like replication but with more control, less impact, and none of the troubleshooting nightmares:

Lesson: Introduction to Database Replication

**Introduction:**

Database replication is a technique used to copy data from one database to another. This is useful when you have multiple databases that need to have consistent data. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of database replication and how it works.

**Section 1: What is Database Replication?**

Database replication is the process of copying data from one database to another. This is useful when you have multiple databases that need to have consistent data. For example, you might have a production database and a test database that both need to have the same data. Replication ensures that any changes made to the production database are also reflected in the test database.

**Section 2: How does Database Replication work?**

Database replication works by creating a subscription between the two databases. The publisher is the database that contains the original data, while the subscriber is the database that receives the copied data. When changes are made to the publisher's database, the changes are automatically replicated to the subscriber's database.

There are two types of replication: snapshot replication and transactional replication. Snapshot replication creates a copy of the publisher's database at a specific point in time, while transactional replication copies only the changes made to the publisher's database.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's say you have a database containing customer information. You have a production database that contains the live customer data, and a test database that is used for testing purposes. You want to make sure that any changes made to the production database are also reflected in the test database. By setting up a replication subscription between the two databases, any changes made to the production database will be automatically copied to the test database.

Another example is a company that has multiple offices around the world. They want to make sure that all offices have access to the same customer data. By setting up a replication subscription between their databases, they can ensure that any changes made in one office are reflected in all other offices.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about database replication and how it works. We covered what replication is, how it works, and provided practical examples of how it can be used. By understanding the basics of replication, you can set up a subscription between your databases to ensure that data is consistent across all databases.

**Glossary:**

- Publisher: The database that contains the original data.
- Subscriber: The database that receives the copied data.
- Replication: The process of copying data from one database to another.
- Snapshot replication: Creates a copy of the publisher's database at a specific point in time.
- Transactional replication: Copies only the changes made to the publisher's database.

Q:

Canonical url for product with multiple categories

I'm building a shop using Craft Commerce where a single product can be assigned to multiple categories. The url structure I'm using for the product detail page is: http://domain.com/category/product-url
In an effort to avoid being penalised for duplicate content I would like to set the canonical URL for my product detail page by always pulling the first category as the canonical URL in the meta. I've tried a few things but keep getting stuck - any tips ?

A:

You should be able to use {{ entry.categoryFieldHandle[0].slug }}. The [0] simply grabs the first category in the field.
You will need to make sure there is always at least one category allocated to an entry or you'll get an error.

Lesson: Introduction to Electromagnetic Waves

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Electromagnetic waves are a type of transverse wave that is formed by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. These waves can travel through empty space or through a vacuum, and they can also pass through various materials such as air, water, and glass. Electromagnetic waves have both electric and magnetic components, and they can be classified into two categories: electromagnetic waves and magnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves are created when an electric charge is accelerated or decelerated. This acceleration or deceleration causes the electric charges to oscillate back and forth, creating an electric field. As the electric charges oscillate, they also create a magnetic field. The oscillation of these two fields creates the electromagnetic wave.

Magnetic waves are created when a magnetic field changes or oscillates. This change or oscillation causes the magnetic field to push or pull on nearby electric charges, creating an electric field. As the electric charges move in response to the changing magnetic field, they create their own magnetic field, which in turn affects nearby electric charges. This interaction between the electric and magnetic fields creates the magnetic wave.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

One practical example of electromagnetic waves is radio waves. Radio waves are created when an antenna is connected to a radio transmitter. The transmitter sends out an electrical signal that causes the antenna to vibrate at a specific frequency. This vibration creates an electromagnetic wave that travels through the air until it reaches a receiver. The receiver picks up the wave and converts it back into an electrical signal that can be used to power a speaker or other device.

Another practical example of electromagnetic waves is light. Light is created when an object absorbs energy from the sun or other source of heat and then re-emits that energy as electromagnetic waves. These waves travel through the air or vacuum until they reach our eyes, where they are detected by photoreceptor cells that convert the light into electrical signals that our brains can interpret as images.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

One real-world scenario where electromagnetic waves are used is in radar systems. Radar systems use electromagnetic waves to detect objects that are far away. The radar system sends out a wave that bounces off the object and then returns to the radar system. By analyzing the time it takes for the wave to return, the radar system can determine how far away the object is.

Another real-world scenario where electromagnetic waves are used is in medical imaging. For example, X-rays are a type of electromagnetic wave that can pass through the body and create an image of the bones and organs inside. When X-rays hit a piece of film or a digital sensor, they create an image that doctors can use to diagnose injuries or illnesses.

### Glossary
- Electromagnetic wave: A type of transverse wave that is formed by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other.
- Magnetic wave: A type of wave that is created when a magnetic field changes or oscillates.
- Electric field: A field that surrounds an electric charge and exerts a force on other charges in the vicinity.
- Magnetic field: A field that surrounds a magnetic moment and exerts a force on other magnetic moments in the vicinity.
- Frequency: The number of oscillations or cycles that occur in a given amount of time, usually measured in hertz (Hz).
- Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive points that are in phase in a wave.
- Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about electromagnetic waves and their practical applications in radar systems and medical imaging. We also explored the differences between electromagnetic and magnetic waves and discussed the role of electric and magnetic fields in creating these waves. By understanding the principles behind electromagnetic waves, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and develop innovative solutions that harness the power of these waves.

Lesson: Introduction to Real Estate Finance

**Overview:** In this lesson, we will explore the basics of real estate finance, including the different types of financing available, how to calculate the cost of financing, and the role of government agencies in providing affordable housing.

**Section 1: Types of Financing**

There are several types of financing available for real estate projects, including:

1. Construction financing: This type of financing is used to cover the costs of building a new property or renovating an existing one.

2. Permanent financing: Once construction is complete, permanent financing is used to pay off the construction loan and cover ongoing expenses such as mortgage payments.

3. Government grants and loans: Many government agencies provide funding for affordable housing projects, which can help offset the cost of construction and permanent financing.

**Section 2: Calculating the Cost of Financing**

The cost of financing can vary depending on the type of loan and the interest rate. To calculate the cost of financing, you will need to know the:

1. Principal amount: This is the total amount of money being borrowed.

2. Interest rate: This is the percentage of the principal amount that will be charged as interest over the life of the loan.

3. Loan term: This is the length of time over which the loan will be repaid.

Using these factors, you can calculate the monthly payment, total interest paid, and total cost of financing over the life of the loan.

**Section 3: Government Agencies and Affordable Housing**

Government agencies play an important role in providing affordable housing options for low-income individuals and families. These agencies often provide funding for construction and permanent financing, as well as tax credits and other incentives for developers who build affordable housing units.

**Glossary:**

- **Principal amount:** The total amount of money being borrowed.
- **Interest rate:** The percentage of the principal amount that will be charged as interest over the life of the loan.
- **Loan term:** The length of time over which the loan will be repaid.
- **Affordable housing:** Housing that is priced within the reach of low-income individuals and families.
- **Government agencies:** Organizations established by the government to carry out specific functions and responsibilities.

**Conclusion:** Understanding the basics of real estate finance is essential for anyone interested in investing in or developing property. By learning about the different types of financing available, how to calculate the cost of financing, and the role of government agencies in providing affordable housing, you can make informed decisions about your real estate projects.

After choosing a domain name and hosting provider, it's time to design your website's layout and content. Start by creating a site map that outlines the structure of your site and the pages you want to include. Then, work with a web designer or use a website builder to create a visually appealing layout that is easy to navigate.

Your website's content should be informative, engaging, and optimized for your target audience. Use high-quality images and videos, write compelling copy, and ensure that your website is mobile-friendly and easy to use on all devices.

## Section 4: SEO and Optimizing Your Website

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results pages. To optimize your website for better visibility on search engines, use relevant keywords in your content, optimize your meta tags, and ensure that your website is structured logically and follows best practices for SEO.

You can also use tools like Google Analytics to track your website traffic and visitor behavior. This data can help you identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about your website's design and content.

## Section 5: Conclusion

Building a website for your business is an investment that can pay off in increased visibility, leads, and sales. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can create a website that reflects your brand, attracts visitors, and drives growth for your business.
