Comments on the paper: Crystal growth and comparison of vibrational and thermal properties of semi-organic nonlinear optical materials [PDF]
Gunasekaran et al (Pramana J. Phys. 75 683-690 (2010)) report to have grown the nonlinear optical crystals urea thiourea mercuric chloride (UTHC) and urea thiourea mercuric sulphate (UTHS). We argue that UTHC and UTHS are dubious crystals and are not what the authors propose.

Unveiling the photophysics of thiourea from CASPT2/CASSCF potential energy surfaces and singlet/triplet excited state molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
This work describes the decay mechanism of photoexcited thiourea, both in gas phase and in solution, from the information inferred from the topography of the excited and ground state potential energy surfaces and mixed singlet/triplet quantum classical molecular dynamics simulations.

Probing Excitons in Ultrathin PbS Nanoplatelets with Enhanced Near-Infrared Emission [PDF]
Strongly quantum-confined 2D colloidal PbS nanoplatelets (NPLs) are highly interesting materials for near-infrared optoelectronic applications. Here, we use ultrafast transient optical absorption spectroscopy to study the characteristics and dynamics of photoexcited excitons in ultrathin PbS NPLs with a cubic (rock-salt) structure.

Photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties of N + S co-doped TiO2 nanotube array films under visible light irradiation [PDF]
In this paper, we report on the co-doping nitrogen and sulfur has been achieved in the TiO2 nanotube array films by treatment with thiourea and calcination under vacuum at 500 {\deg}C for 3 h. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet-visible diffuse ...

Candidate carriers and synthetic spectra of the 21- and 30-mu protoplanetary nebular bands [PDF]
Computational chemistry is used here to determine the vibrational line spectrum of several candidate molecules. It is shown that the thiourea functional group, associated with various carbonaceous structures (mainly compact and linear aromatic clusters), is able to mimic the 21-$\mu$m band emitted by a number of proto-planetary nebulae. The combination
