Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as a predominant power source are widely used in large-scale energy storage fields. For the next generation energy storage LIBs, it is primary to seek the high capacity and long life span electrode materials. Nickel-based metal-organic frameworks with a series...

The pure and 2 mol% Ce 3+ ions doped KY 3 F 10 (Ce: KYF) single crystals were successfully grown in a vacuum by spontaneous nucleation of the vertical Bridgman method. Ce: KYF single crystal had high crystalline quality and transmittance, and the cutoff absorption edge was significantly red...

Through first-principles calculations, we investigate in detail the electron-optical properties of the 2D WSe 2 /BP van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures by applying electric field and biaxial strain. The results show that 0.77eV bandgap and Type-II band alignment are formed at the WSe 2 /BP vdW...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine key determinants of farm labor market development in rural China. Design/methodology/approach – Probit, Logit, and IV-Probit model are used to provide pertinent empirical analysis. Findings – Analysis of survey data establishes three facts...

In his paper "Does utility curvature matter for indeterminacy", Kim (2005) analyzed the relationship among the utility function form, curvature and indeterminacy, concluding that the relationship between curvature and indeterminacy is not robust in neoclassical growth model and the indeterminacy...

Dromel and Pintus [Are Progressive Income Taxes Stabilizing?, Journal of Public Economic Theory 10, (2008) 329-349] have shown that labor-income tax progressivity reduces the likelihood of local indeterminacy, sunspots and cycles in a one sector monetary economy with constant returns to scale....

We examine the role of tariffs levied on the imported production factor in a one-sector small open economy real business cycle model. We show that under perfect competition and constant returns-to-scale, the model may exhibit local indeterminacy and sunspots as tariff rates are endogenously...
