Thermal lensing is studied in monoclinic Yb:Ca4YO(BO3)3(Yb: YCOB) oxoborate crystals cut along the optical indicatrix axes. For all orientations, the thermal lens is positive. In the Z-cut crystal, the sensitivity factors of the thermal lens are MZ-X= 2.4 and MZ-Y= 2.8 m-1/W (for E∥X), and the astigmatism degree is as…

Abstract Most simple magnesium salts tend to passivate the Mg metal surface too quickly to function as electrolytes for Mg batteries. In the present work, an electroactive salt [Mg(THF)6][AlCl4]2 was synthesized and structurally characterized. The Mg electrolyte based on this simple mononuclear salt showed a high Mg c…

We have investigated the electrochemically triggered cycloreversion of quadricyclane (QC) to norbornadiene (NBD), a system that holds the potential to combine both energy storage and conversion in a single molecule. Unambiguous voltammetric traces are obtained for pure NBD and pure QC, the latter a strained polycyclic…

In this paper, we present protocols for simulating micelles using dissipative particle dynamics (and in principle molecular dynamics) that we expect to be appropriate for computing micelle properties for a wide range of surfactant molecules. The protocols address challenges in equilibrating and sampling, specifically…
