One of the most important priorities for all countries with property beyond the Arctic Circle and territories located in permafrost areas is the development of special construction technologies and systems. The required conditions are met by insulation systems based on seamless insulation shells made of polyethylene foam. The study of the strength and performance properties of polyethylene foam and its combinability was carried out according to standard methods and using the methods of experimental design and the analytical processing of the results. The change in material properties at negative temperatures was determined based on the results of climatic tests, followed by an evaluation of creep under load. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the design solutions was carried out using special computer programs. It was found that the performance characteristics of products made of polyethylene foam (rolls, mats) meet the requirements for insulation materials used at temperatures down to −60 ◦C. The resulting material is moderately combustible, which must be taken into account when developing recommendations for its use in insulation systems. A nomogram has been developed that makes it possible to predict the properties of a material and solve formulation problems. Insulation systems were developed, and a visualisation of the thermal fields of the insulation systems of the external walls and ceilings of a building was carried out.

AIVBVI semiconductors, particularly lead chalcogenides, remain key materials for mid-wave infrared (MWIR) photodetection due to their narrow bandgap and exceptional carrier transport properties. However, the realization of high-quality p-type PbTe thin films, suitable for p–n junction devices, remains a technological challenge. In this work, we report the fabrication of high-mobility p-type PbTe thin films grown on ...

The development of high-light-yield scintillators based on perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) is hindered by their intrinsic instability and aggregation, which severely limits their long-term operational reliability and integration into polymeric matrices. Silica coating has been demonstrated as an effective strategy to enhance the stability of PQDs. However, achieving fast and uniform silica encapsulation on individual ...

Reaching lasing in electrically pumped microdevices based on solution-processed
semiconductors poses a substantial scientific and technological challenge. Halide
perovskites offer a promising platform for electrical injection1, as their optically
excited single-crystal cavities2–4 and predesigned5,6 or postprocessed microstructures7,8
have exhibited low lasing threshold. Indirect electrical pumping of a dual-cavity
perovskite laser was recently obtained9, using a well-established technological
concept of embedding a ...

The orthorhombic phase of 𝛼-Mo2 C is a key component in electrocatalytic applications, as Mo2C-based catalysts can exhibit catalytic performance comparable to or exceeding that of noble metals. Despite its technological relevance, theoretical understanding of the anisotropy in the thermal expansion and related thermoelastic properties of 𝛼-Mo2 C remains limited. In this work, first-principles calculations ...

High-quality planar cavities with low-absorption mirrors based on Al0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.9Ga0.1As layers demonstrate continuous wave lasing at a wavelength of 956 nm. At 300 K, the threshold power density and the quality-factor at the threshold are 4.2 kW/cm2 and 6800. Increasing the pump level above two thresholds results in an enlargement in the quality-factor to at least 19 ...

Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites used in monolithic tandem solar cells are limited by nonradiative recombination losses and operational instability originating from defect formation during crystallization and their subsequent evolution under illumination. Here, we show that defect formation can be regulated at the precursor stage by coordination chemistry, instead of relying only on post-crystallization passivation. A fluorinated ...
