Dewetting, i.e., the retraction of a fluid from a surface it “dislikes”, is a macroscopic phenomenon controlled through parameters like viscosity and surface tension on length-scales much larger than the size of the molecules. So far, dewetting was known to proceed in the same manner, independent of the dewetting film…

Abstract Benthic algae including benthic diatoms are one of the most vital primary producers in riverine ecosystems, and their spatial distribution and assemblage structure respond sensitively to various environmental variables. Thus, benthic diatoms have been widely used as indicators of water quality in riverine sys…

Glycan-bound nanoprobes have been demonstrated as suitable sensing probes for bacteria containing glycan binding sites. In this study, we demonstrated a facile approach for generating glycan-bound gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). The generated AuNCs were used as sensing probes for corresponding target bacteria. Mannose-capp…

Using the conventional high temperature solid‐state reaction method Ba 2 Ca ( PO 4 ) 2 : Eu 2+ phosphors were prepared. The phase structure, photoluminescence ( PL ) properties, and the PL thermal stability of the samples were investigated, respectively. Under the excitation at 365 nm, the phosphor exhibited an asymme…

Ion channeling contrast (iCC) and electron channeling contrast (eCC) are caused by variation in signal resulting from changes in the angle of the incident beam and the crystal lattice with respect to the target. iCC is directly influenced by the incident ion range in crystalline materials. The ion range is larger for…

Nowadays, the electron density is recognized as a fundamental property that contains most of the information concerning the electronic structure of molecules, and, therefore, its determination from high-resolution X-ray diffraction data is becoming more and more important. In this context, we propose a new strategy fo…

The filling behavior of Mg atoms into CoSb3 lattice voids under pressure was investigated theoretically, revealing ambient-pressure-inaccessible Mg-filled CoSb3 can be stabilized under high pressure. Inspired by this result, we synthesized Mg-filled CoSb3 using high pressure synthesis. The synthetic samples show Im3¯…

Group-IVa elements silicon and germanium are known for their semiconducting properties at room temperature, which are technologically critical. Metallicity and superconductivity are found at higher pressures only, Ge β-tin (tI4) being the first high-pressure metallic phase in the phase diagram. However, recent experim…

We show that the optical properties of a particle above a plane dielectric interface differ dramatically from those of the same particle embedded in a homogeneous matrix. Calculations for gold and silver spheres have been carried out in using the exact multipole expansion method, providing thus benchmark results for t…
