We are pleased to announce that Mgr Tomasz Stachurski, Assistant in the Department of Statistics, Econometrics, and Mathematics, is a co-author of the scientific article titled "Enhancing GaN Nanowires Performance Through Partial Coverage with Oxide Shells." The publication appeared in the prestigious journal Small, published by Wiley-VCH.
The journal is included in the Journal Citation Reports (commonly known as the Philadelphia List) with an Impact Factor (IF) of 13.0 and is awarded 200 points in the official list of academic journals by the Polish Ministry of Education and Science (MNiSW). The article has been highly recognized by reviewers, who distinguished it by featuring it on the cover of the current issue of the journal.
The article is the result of collaboration with researchers from Wrocław University of Science and Technology and the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. In their work, the researchers presented an innovative method to enhance the efficiency of gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires by partially covering their surfaces with oxide layers. The findings also have significant implications for the fields of economics and finance. Due to their properties, GaN nanowires have the potential to become the new standard in lighting technology, contributing to reduced operational costs of lighting systems. This has direct relevance for lowering energy consumption on a macroeconomic scale, supporting the goals of sustainable development policies.
Mgr Tomasz Stachurski's contribution to the article included proposing and implementing statistical inference methods to analyze the effects of oxide coatings on the properties of GaN nanowires. Thanks to the application of appropriate statistical methods, it was possible to capture subtle structural and property changes in nanowires occurring at the atomic scale.
