Aqueous solutions of glycerol are investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) over the whole concentration range (10-98 wt.% water) and in the temperature range 283-303 K. The measurements reveal one slow relaxation process in the geometry of polarized light scattering. This process is present in the whole concentr…

We report a half-Heusler (HH) derivative Ti9Ni7Sn8 with VEC = 17.25 to investigate the structural changes for the optimization of high thermoelectric performance. The structural analysis reveals that the resulting material is a nanocomposite of HH and full-Heusler with traces of Ti6Sn5 type-phase. Interestingly, prese…

We demonstrate how highly emissive, kinetically stable complexes can be prepared using the macrocyclic scaffold of DO3A bearing coordinating aryl ketones as highly effective sensitizing chromophores. In the europium complexes, high quantum yields (up to 18% in water) can be combined with long-wavelength excitation (37…
