Ab initio insights into Graphene-Zirconium disulfide/diselenide heterostructure as electrode material for alkali-ion batteries
(Surfaces and interfaces, 2021)In the search for an energy storage medium with higher electronic conductivity, rate performance and moderate volume expansion, van der Waals heterostructures are a promising alternative. Herein, the potential of graphene ... -
Breeding Grain Sorghum for Tolerance to Aluminium Toxicity
(AER Journal, 2020)Aluminium (Al) toxicity is a common problem in acid soils where sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is grown. It contributes to grain yield reduction of between 30-40 % in sorghum and other cereals. Al interferes with ... -
On Unitary Invariance of Some Classes of Operators in Hilbert Spaces
(Pure Mathematical Sciences, 2020)It is a known fact in operator theory that two similar operators have equal spectra but they do not necessarily have to belong to the same class of operators. However, under the stronger relation of unitary equivalence ... -
