We investigate native nitrogen (NV) and silicon vacancy (SiV) color centers in commercially available, heteroepitaxial, wafer-sized, mm thick, single-crystal diamond. We observe single, native NV centers with a density of roughly 1 NV per $μm^3$ and moderate coherence time ($T_2 = 5 μs$) embedded in an ensemble of SiV…
Dirac nodal line semimetals represent a new state of quantum matters in which the electronic bands touch to form a closed loop with linear dispersion. Here, we report a combined study on ZrSiS by density functional theory calculation, scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and magneto-transport measurements. Our STM meas…
Photoluminescence (PL) is the most significant feature of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). However, the PL mechanism in GQDs has been debated due to the fact that the microstructures, such as edge and in-plane defects that are critical for PL emission, have not been convincingly identified due to the lack of effective de…
This study aimed at developing the functional packaging properties of pectin/alginate films by adding zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The ZnO-NPs were added to the pectin/alginate film at the concentrations of 0.5, 2.5, 5, and 25 g/100 g of blended polymer. The effects of the ZnO-NP incorporation on the mechanical…
The present environmental regulations enforced by the government authorities have made the investigators around the globe to make use of more and more green materials particularly in composite systems. In this context, natural fibers play an important role and proven to be excellent reinforcements in polymer matrices.…
The various sizes (15, 30, 80, and 100 nm) of nano-SiO2/potato starch films were synthesized and characterized. The gas permeability, antibacterial properties, and mechanical properties of the films were evaluated to their potential for application as food packaging materials. Results indicated that the 100 nm nano-Si…
In the field of nanomagnetism and spintronics, integral magnetometry is nowadays challenged by samples with low magnetic moments and/or low coercive fields. Commercial superconducting quantum interference device magnetometers are versatile experimental tools to magnetically characterize samples with ultimate sensitivi…
Abstract Tetrahedral units can transport oxide anions via interstitial or vacancy defects owing to their great deformation and rotation flexibility. Compared with interstitial defects, vacancy-mediated oxide-ion conduction in tetrahedra-based structures is more difficult and occurs rarely. The isolated tetrahedral ani…
Water scarcity has become a global issue of severe concern. Great efforts have been undertaken to develop low-cost and highly efficient condensation strategies to relieve water shortages in arid regions. However, the rationale for design of an ideal condensing surface remains lacking due to the conflicting requirement…
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have stimulated extensive research interest for their unique thickness-dependent electronic and optical properties. However, the layer-number-dependent studies on 2D materials to date are largely limited to exfoliated flakes with relatively small lateral size and poor yield. The…
From a structural and economic perspective, tellurium-free PbSe can be an attractive alternative to its more expensive isostructural analogue of PbTe for intermediate temperature power generation. Here we report that PbSe 0.998 Br 0.002 -2%Cu 2 Se exhibits record high peak ZT 1.8 at 723 K and average ZT 1.1 between 30…
In order to fabricate efficient molecular photonic devices, it has been a long-held aspiration for chemists to understand and mimic natural light-harvesting complexes where a rapid and efficient transfer of excitation energy between chlorophyll pigments is observed. Synthetic porphyrins are attractive building blocks…
Wavelength-controlled dynamic processes are mostly based on light-triggered isomerization or the cleavage/formation of molecular connections. Control over dynamic metathesis reactions by different light wavelengths, which would be useful in controllable dynamic chemistry, has rarely been studied. Taking advantage of t…
A drive for anti-counterfeiting technology has attracted considerable interests in developing nanomaterials with a wide range of colors and tunable optical properties in solid state. Herein, with a series of conjugated polymers and based on the host–guest driven self-assembly strategy, a color-tunable supramolecular n…
/MXene (BGFO-20Sn/MXene) nanohybrid shows 100% degradation of Congo dye from the catalytic solution in 120 min, which is highly efficient for industrial application.
In this work, we construct an ultrathin graphene/GaS heterostructure and investigate its electronic properties as well as the effect of vertical strain using density functional theory. The calculated results of the equilibrium interlayer spacing (3.356 Å) and the binding energy show that the intrinsic properties of is…

The BCPs were melt blended with 70 wt % high-density PE (HDPE)…
The direct conversion of methane to methanol (MTM) is a reaction that has the potential to disrupt a great part of the synthesis gas-derived chemical industry. However, despite many decades of research, active enough catalysts and suitable processes for industrial application are still not available. Recently, several…
The Structure Integration with Function, Taxonomy and Sequences resource (SIFTS; http://pdbe.org/sifts/) was established in 2002 and continues to operate as a collaboration between the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; http://pdbe.org) and the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB; http://uniprot.org). The resource is ins…
Abstract Interactions between metal nanoparticles and support materials can strongly influence the performance of catalysts. In particular, reducible oxidic supports can form suboxides that can decorate metal nanoparticles and enhance catalytic performance or block active sites. Therefore, tuning this metal-support in…
