3D and Multimodal X-Ray Microscopy Reveals the Impact of Voids in CIGS Solar Cells. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
3D X‐ray microscopy quantifies the distribution of voids in thin‐film solar cells and associated electrical performance deficits. Abstract Small voids in the absorber layer of thin‐film solar cells are generally suspected to impair photovoltaic performance.

Europium(III) diphenylphosphinate as a potential low-dimensional nanostructured coordination polymer scintillator

Materials Letters: X, 2023
Rare earth diphenylphosphinates – [RE(dpp)3]n – are low-dimensional nanostructured luminescent materials with considerable thermal and chemical stability, obtained in powder form, consisting of highly insoluble nanowire/nanorod-shaped particles.

A Scintillating One-Dimensional Coordination Polymer Based on Cadmium(II), N,N′-(1,4-Phenylenedicarbonyl)diglycinate, and 2,2′-Bipyridine: Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and Luminescence Lifetime Properties ^†

Solids, 2021
In recent years, several coordination polymers of different dimensions and metal–organic frameworks were tested and expected to be good candidates for closing the gap between organic and plastic scintillators on the one hand side and inorganic ...

ZnGa2O4 : Cr3+@Calcium Phosphate Nanocomposite with Near‐Infrared Persistent Luminescence and High Stability

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Shine bright: Persistent luminescent Cr‐doped ZnGa2O4 (CZGO) is incorporated into an amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) matrix. Annealing CZGO prior to ACP integration greatly improves its luminescence intensity and duration. Zn2+ redistribution from CZGO to ACP is identified, leading to the formation of Zn3(PO4)2 when immersed in water.

Bandwidth Control and Symmetry Breaking in a Mott‐Hubbard Correlated Metal

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 33, Issue 41, October 9, 2023., 2023
The strength of the electron correlation is tuned by strain in a model system of SrVO3. Strain is shown to control the hopping between orbitals (bandwidth) and the orbital occupation. Tensile strain is shown to drive this metallic system toward a Mott insulating state.

Interplay between Crystal Structure and Optical Response in Plateau–Rayleigh Zn2GeO4/SnO2 Heterostructures

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Decorated semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are promising architectures for next‐generation nanoelectronic devices. Zn2GeO4/SnO2 NW architecture, which is produced by the Plateau–Rayleigh instability, is characterized by combining multiple synchrotron nano‐analysis techniques (nano X‐ray fluorescence, nano X‐ray‐excited optical luminescence, nano X‐ray ...

Quantification of very late xerostomia in head and neck cancer patients after irradiation

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 1018-1024, August 2022., 2022
We undertook preliminary studies quantifying xerostomia as a very late toxicity of radiation in HNC patients for use in a planned clinical trial. We found salivary quality of life surveys to differ significantly even 5 or more years after radiation, as did certain salivary compositional analyses. In the survivors of HNC who suffer from late toxicities,
