Opportunities to Investigate novel Stable p-type ZnO: Making progress with the Asymmetric dopant problem

Davild Allred

For over 60 years p-type Wide-bandgap semiconductors have been a problem. ZnO has been described as a very desirable semiconductor materials.

How to make stable forms of moderate to heavily p-type semiconductors, For example, for zinc-oxide this elusive goal has been driven by the material’s desirable electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties.

The traditional approach seems unlikely to succeed due to compound stability and vapor pressure constraints on diffusional processes. Diffusion couples cannot be used to create long-term stable p-type zinc oxides.
Food for Thought: A Public Health Approach to the School Food Environment

Lori Andersen

Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue with long-term implications for physical and mental health. Schools play a pivotal role in shaping children's dietary habits and physical activity levels. This research focuses on school-based interventions aimed at preventing obesity among children and adolescents. Specifically, it examines the impact of school lunch and breakfast programs on obesity rates. By analyzing these programs, we aim to identify effective strategies for promoting healthy eating habits and preventing obesity in the school environment.
