    Optical Spectroscopy of Extrinsic Recombinations in Gallium Selenide

    Full text link
    Luminescence at energy lower than the absorption edge has been investigated in crystals of GaSe, containing different degrees of lattice disorder, as a function of temperature, of photoexcitation intensity, and of excitation energy. At low excitation intensity, the extrinsic luminescence is composed of broad overlapping bands that present a blue shift when the temperature increases. Their shape and intensity is strongly dependent on the laser excitation frequency and on the degree of lattice disorder. The results are discussed in terms of a model involving the recombination of shallow donors and free electrons with deep acceptors. These two recombination mechanisms and those involving free and bound excitons are found to be competitive. Their relative importance is strongly dependent on the concentration of structural defects, on the temperature, on the excitation intensity, and on the excitation frequenc

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Dynamics of Excitons in GaSe as a Function of Temperature

    The dynamics of direct and indirect excitons, either free or localized by the layer stacking disorder is studied in GaSe at temperatures from 2 to 150 K and as a fünction of the excitation energy

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
