A dual seed SiC PVT design enables two growth interfaces in one furnace. An idealized sliding lower seed releases radial constraint, suppressing edge stress concentration and reducing predicted dislocation density.
Lead-free Cu(I)-based halides have attracted considerable attention for scintillation and optoelectronic applications because of their excellent optical properties and low environmental impact. In this work, high-quality Cs₅Cu₃Cl₅BrI₂ single crystals were...
A novel dinuclear copper–iodine supramolecular compound exhibiting further enhanced capacitance after polyaniline modification and subsequent application in solid-state supercapacitors was successfully developed.
anti / gauche transitions trigger conformational polymorphism and polymorphic transformation of alkyl chain-containing drugs. This highlight calls attention to anti / gauche conformation roles in crystal engineering and solid-state property regulation.
The plate regulates the thermal field in 8-inch SiC PVT growth, enhancing mass transfer, optimizing interface temperature, and reducing crystal stress and dislocations.
This work emphasizes the role of metal complexation for controlling and tuning static/dynamic π-stacked organizations responsible for the programmed light emission of the bichromophoric pyrene-terimine ligand L2 upon photoexcitation. Its...
Mechanochemical synthesis of two pyrene cocrystals namely PYR·DBDIB and PYR·PFBA yields distinct packing arrangements (segregated and mixed). Photophysical studies indicate weak charge-transfer in PYR·DBDIB and negligible charge-transfer in PYR·PFBA.
Superspreading surfaces refer to solid substrates capable of triggering rapid, large-area liquid spreading, which possess promising application prospects in anti-fogging, self-cleaning, thermal management and other engineering fields. Meanwhile, with the...
Ni–HBSF enabled sensitive sensing of Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine (LODs: 0.949 and 0.534 ppm) and delivered 232.1 F g −1 at 2 A g −1 with 97% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles.
Ten ( E )-2-(((6-chloropyridin-3-yl)imino)methyl)-5-alkoxyphenol derivatives were synthesized. All of them exhibited enantiotropic SmA liquid crystalline behaviour, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit stimuli-responsive phase transitions that enable diverse applications. In this article we report the synthesis and characterisation of a flexible MOF, MFM-261a, [H2N(CH3)2]2[Ni3(sbpdc)4(η-H2O)2(μ-OH2)2]·solv (H₂sbpdc = sulfone-4,4ˊ-biphenyldicarboxylic...
CdZnTe (CZT) has garnered significant attention in radiation detection and medical imaging due to its excellent room-temperature photon-collection capabilities. However, its performance is greatly limited by various defects introduced during...
Sapphire (α-Al 2 O 3 ) single crystals are essential substrates for GaN-based optoelectronic devices, but their high resistivity limits vertical-structure applications. Doping with metal ions and controlling defects can modulate conductivity, yet the...
[(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 ] 4 SbCl 7 exhibits thermochromic luminescence (547–587 nm) over 80–420 K, revealing optical thermometry with a sensitivity of 0.11% K −1 and reversible solvent-triggered fluorescence switching for dual-stimuli anticounterfeiting.
The ability to suppress the yield for a solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction for a halogen-bonded co-crystals is reported. The decline was influenced by simply heating the cocrystal while...
Short peptidomimetics are compact, conformationally restricted scaffolds for relating structural changes to molecular recognition, while CF 3 substitution is widely used to tune physicochemical properties and ligand–environment complementarity.
Provide material solutions for portable X-ray imaging and near-infrared light sources.
We developed a one-pot seed-mediated approach for the synthesis of mesoporous Au@PdCu core–shell nanoparticles, which exhibit high activity, selectivity, and stability toward the photo-enhanced electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate to ammonia.
In this work, three Dy(III) complexes (mono-, di-, trinuclear) were characterized magnetically. All behave as single-molecule magnets. Trinuclear complex 3 owns a much larger spin-reversal barrier (165.90 cm −1 ) than mono- and dinuclear analogues.
