N-Heterocyclic Carbenes on a III-V Semiconductor: From Chain Formation to Ordered Monolayers. [PDF]
The functionalization of GaAs, a model III‐V semiconductor, with N‐heterocyclic carbenes is demonstrated in a multidisciplinary experimental and theoretical approach. In this way, ordered monolayers consisting of chains of molecules binding covalently to the surface are obtained, which are found to strongly modify the surface properties as evident from

Flip Angle Errors in Actual Flip Angle Imaging Using Polyvinylpyrrolidone/Water-Based Phantoms. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this work is to report and investigate unexpected errors in actual flip angle imaging (AFI) applied to phantom fillings based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Methods Flip angle maps of PVP/water mixtures with different PVP ratios were acquired at 3 T and 7 T using a 3D cartesian AFI. The influence of spoiling was investigated

A multiscale <i>in situ</i> time-resolved study of the nano- to millisecond structural dynamics during protein crystallization. [PDF]
Protein crystallization is a crucial method for structure determination and biological studies, but its pathways remain poorly understood, often relying on trial and error to initiate crystallization. Using a multitechnique approach, this study investigates structural and diffusion properties across various time and length scales to compare different ...

Is Phenylnitrene a Missing Link in the Formation of Polycyclic Aromatic Nitrogen Heterocycles? [PDF]
A new formation pathway for polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (PANHs) has been found. The reaction of phenylnitrene and the propargyl radical leads to quinoline, proving that nitrenes are suitable precursors for nitrogen incorporation mechanisms.

Mitigating Mobile-Ion-Induced Instabilities and Performance Losses in 2D Passivated Perovskite Solar Cells. [PDF]
This study addresses the challenges of mobile‐ion‐induced instability in perovskite solar cells. Introducing bilayer passivation with ammonium salts (EDAI₂/PEAI and ABS/PEAI) significantly reduces ion density and improves device stability. The approach mitigates the detrimental effects of PEAI‐induced ionic losses, enhancing both performance and ...

Greek-Arabic-Latin: The transmission of mathematical texts in the Middle Ages [PDF]
During the Middle Ages many Greek mathematical and astronomical texts were translated from Greek into Arabic (ca. ninth century) and from Arabic into Latin (ca. twelfth century). There were many factors complicating the study of them, such as translation

Nucleon quasi-parton distributions in the large Nc limit
In this letter, we investigate the nucleon quasi-parton distribution functions in the chiral quark soliton model. We derive a set of sum-rules depending on the velocity of the nucleon and on the Dirac matrix defining the distribution functions.

Analysis of the temperature- and fluence-dependent magnetic stress in laser-excited SrRuO3
We use ultrafast x-ray diffraction to investigate the effect of expansive phononic and contractive magnetic stress driving the picosecond strain response of a metallic perovskite SrRuO3 thin film upon femtosecond laser excitation.

Nucleon-nucleon scattering in the 1S0 partial wave in the modified Weinberg approach
Nucleon-nucleon scattering in the 1S0 partial wave is considered in chiral effective field theory within the recently suggested renormalizable formulation based on the Kadyshevsky equation.
