Molten Zinc Coordination Polymer Glass as a Host for Stable and Processable Optical Dye Composites

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Zinc‐based coordination polymer glass is employed to suppress aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ) and enhance molecular stability, enabling improved luminescence performance in the solid state. The emission color of the hybrid composites can be tuned by varying the incorporated guest molecules, while the glass matrix effectively prevents aggregation and

Modeling the Intermediate Flow Regime in Flow‐Compensated Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model is commonly used to separate the effects of motion related to diffusion and blood microcirculation (perfusion) on the MR signal. Depending on the encoding time (T), it is possible to probe the different temporal regimes of blood motion, which resemble a ballistic flow at short T and a ...
