We study the influence of ripple waves on the band structures of strained armchair graphene nanoribbons. We argue that the Zeeman pseudospin (p-spin) splitting energy induced by ripple waves might not be neglected for smaller widths of armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). We show that the p-spin splitting energy brea…

We report here the first layered iron oxychalcogenide Ca2O3Fe2.6S2 that contains both planar [Ca2FeO2](2+) and [Fe2OS2](2-) layers with the shortest Fe-Fe bond length. This compound is a narrow band gap (~0.073 eV) Mott insulator. The observed antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 77 K is due to the ordered Fe vacanci…

The dynamics of the free-exciton capture by boron acceptors and phosphorus donors in diamond is observed in the picosecond range by time-resolved photoluminescence experiments at low temperature. The formation of boron-bound excitons is observed with a delay of 410 ps after the formation of free excitons. For phosphor…

Abstract Mo-doped indium oxide (MIO) transparent conducting films have been prepared by a polymer-assisted solution (PAS) process. Both Mo- and In-PASs have been formulated by coordinating Mo- and In-anionic complexes with polyethyleneimine. The final MIO-PAS coating solution was prepared by adding Mo-PAS and In-PAS w…

Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) catalyzes the first committed step in the diaminopimelate pathway of bacteria, yielding amino acids required for cell wall and protein biosyntheses. The essentiality of the enzyme to bacteria, coupled with its absence in humans, validates DHDPS as an antibacterial drug target. Conv…

Two different classes of fluorescent dyes were prepared as a turn off/on sensor system for aldehydes. Amino derivatives of a boron dipyrromethene (BDP) fluorophore and a xanthene-derived fluorophore (rosamine) were prepared. Model compounds of their product with an aldehyde were prepared using salicylaldehyde. Both am…

A series of MnO-doped zinc soda lime silica glass systems was prepared by a conventional melt and quenching technique. In this study, the x-ray diffraction analysis was applied to confirm the amorphous nature of the glasses. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy shows the glass network consists of MnO4, SiO4, and Zn…

Ultrasmall Au 10 clusters have a unique electronic structure and can act as a charge reservoir to donate electrons or accept charges. This is particularly important for catalysis, since it leads to facile charge transfer across the interface between the gold species and the oxide substrate. To determine the electronic…

We study the spatio-temporal formation and spreading of the low-spin state (LS) during the thermal spin transition and the cooperative relaxation of the photo-induced metastable high spin (HS) state at low temperature, in the presence of a structural defect. The model is made of a two-dimensional rectangular-shaped la…
