Investigation of the laser fluence and wavelength dependence in surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry using gold nanoparticles

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
Rationale Surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (SALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) builds on the use of nanostructured surfaces (e.g., coatings of colloidal nanoparticles) to promote analyte desorption and ionization. The SALDI process is believed to occur mainly through thermal processes, resulting from heating of the nanosubstrate upon absorption ...

More Photocatalysis With Less Light in Polar Semiconductors—The Role of Pyroelectric Fields

Small, EarlyView.
The work demonstrates that the modulated solar irradiation enhances the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange on BaTiO3 despite reducing the photon flux by about 50%, resulting in a net overcompensation of catalytic efficiency. The effect arises from pyroelectric polarization near the phase transition, triggered by infrared heating of water ...
