Perovskite Quantum Dots
The excellent luminescence properties of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), including wide excitation wavelength range, adjustable emission wavelength, narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), highly match the application requirements in emerging displays.

Croatian National Theater
The National Theater of Zagreb is considered to be the oldest and most important cultural center in Croatia due to its three activities: opera, theater, and ballet. The artistic production is so fruitful; an average of 220 shows are performed in a season. Because of its national influence over a wide territory, the National Theater of Zagreb is used to promote a seasonal program which is broadly varied, including the performance of local artists representative of different styles and historical periods. Nonetheless, the recitals of classic and contemporary masterpieces attract the biggest audiences.

Beyond Special Relativity
There are two different ways in which one can go beyond the kinematics of Special Relativity (SR). One can consider adding to the Standard Model (SM) Lagrangian new terms that violate Lorentz Invariance (LIV). In case one wants to preserve the relativistic invariance, one should modify the transformations between inertial frames and accordingly modify the special relativistic kinematics; this is what is called Doubly/Deformed Special Relativity (DSR).

Bragg Grating Structures Based on a Semiconductor Platform
Optical waveguides (WGs), in the traditional sense, are translucent geometries with a refractive index difference that directs optical beams via total internal reflection. A Bragg grating (BG) structure is a regular WG with periodic refractive index (RI) variations running across it.

PIXE and XRF in Heritage Science
Analytical techniques play a fundamental role in heritage science (HS). Among them, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) techniques are widely used in many laboratories for elemental composition analysis. Although they are well-established, a strong effort is put on their upgrade, making them suitable for more and more applications.

Ultrafast Fiber Technologies for Compact Laser Wake Field
Technologies, performances and maturity of ultrafast fiber lasers and fiber delivery of ultrafast pulses are used for the medical deployment of laser-wake-field acceleration (LWFA). The compact ultrafast fiber lasers produce intense laser pulses with flexible hollow-core fiber delivery to facilitate electron acceleration in the laser-stimulated wake field near treatment site, empowering endoscopic LWFA brachytherapy. With coherent beam combination of multiple fiber amplifiers, the advantages of ultrafast fiber lasers are further extended to bring in more capabilities in compact LWFA applications.

Optical Properties of Plasmonic Metal Nanoparticles
Plasmonic phenomena and materials have been extensively investigated for a long time and gained popularity in the last few years, finding in the design of the biosensors platforms promising applications offering devices with excellent performances. Hybrid systems composed of graphene, or other 2D materials, and plasmonic metal nanostructures present extraordinary optical properties originated from the synergic connection between plasmonic optical effects and the unusual physicochemical properties of 2D materials, thus improving their application in a broad range of fields.

The Macro-Physics of the Quark-Nova
A quark-nova is a hypothetical stellar evolution branch where a neutron star converts explosively into a quark star. Due to the high peak neutrino luminosities, neutrino pair annihilation can deposit as much as 1052 ergs in kinetic energy in the matter overlaying the neutrinosphere, yielding relativistic quark-nova ejecta.

Ti/Al/X/Au Au-Contained Ohmic Contact Technique
AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are regarded as promising candidates for a 5G communication system, which demands higher frequency and power. Source/drain ohmic contact is one of the key fabrication processes crucial to the device performance. Firstly, Aucontained metal stacks combined with RTA high-temperature ohmic contact schemes were presented and analyzed, including process conditions and contact formation mechanisms. Considering the issues with the Au-contained technique, the overview of a sequence of Au-free schemes is given and comprehensively discussed. In addition, in order to solve various problems caused by hightemperature conditions, novel annealing techniques including microwave annealing (MWA) and laser annealing (LA) were proposed to form Au-free low-temperature ohmic contact to AlGaN/GaN HEMT. The most popular metallization schemes of ohmic contact in AlGaN/GaN HEMT is Ti/Al/X/Au, where X can be Ni, Mo, Pt, Ta, Ir, etc.
