Summary: Novel highly-oriented (111)-textured boron-doped diamond electrodes were fabricated via deuterium-rich microwave plasma CVD, showing high electro-chemical activity and stability. These electrodes exhibited improved boron dopant incorporation and activation, leading to enhanced electron transfer during electrochemical redox mediation, with potential applications as ultrasensitive electrodes for electrochemical analytics.

Summary: A method based on the scaling properties of the Boltzmann transport equation is proposed to identify the dominant scattering mechanisms affecting charge transport in a semiconductor. By testing the method on single-crystalline diamond, it is found that acoustic phonon scattering is the dominant mechanism across the measured temperature range, with exceptions for conduction-band valley repopulation at 100-200 K for electrons. The method is also tested on highly resistive gallium arsenide samples, ruling out impurity scattering as the dominant mechanism in the 80-120 K temperature range.

Summary: This paper investigated the electrochemical oxidation of the antihypertensive drug valsartan on a boron-doped diamond anode, exploring the effects of various factors such as current density, solution pH, valsartan concentration, and water matrix on the degradation process. The addition of persulfate was found to significantly enhance the performance of the process, leading to a faster degradation rate and the formation of various transformation products.

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between spiritual leadership and employee followership behavior, and explores the roles of relational identification and spiritual intelligence in this relationship. The findings suggest that spiritual leadership positively influences employee followership behavior, with relational identification mediating this relationship. The relationship between spiritual leadership and relational identification is stronger when employees have higher spiritual intelligence. Furthermore, the indirect effect of spiritual leadership on employee followership behavior through relational identification is stronger when employees have higher spiritual intelligence. The research provides theoretical and practical implications for future studies.

Summary: This study investigates the infrared photoluminescence of black phosphorus single crystals at very low temperatures, identifying dominant excitonic transitions at 0.276 eV and a weaker one at 0.278 eV. The free-exciton binding energy is calculated to be 9.1 meV. Analysis shows that the PL intensity quenching of the 0.276 eV peak at high temperature is attributed to the localization of free excitons on a shallow impurity. Ultimately, the value of bulk black phosphorus bandgap is refined to 0.287 eV at 2 K.

Summary: Deuterium diffusion is investigated in nitrogen-doped homoepitaxial ZnO layers, where the penetration depth of deuterium decreases with increasing nitrogen concentration, indicating a diffusion mechanism limited by the trapping of deuterium on a nitrogen-related trap. The capture radius of the nitrogen-related trap is determined to be 20 times smaller than expected, and the (N-2)(O) deep donor is proposed as the trapping site for deuterium. This defect is found to be the N-related defect with the highest concentration in the studied samples.

Summary: This study investigates electron transport in n-type diamond using phosphorus-doped (100) homoepitaxial layers in the range of 10^16-10^18 cm^-3. The electrical properties of the n-type layers, including electron concentration and mobility, were measured as a function of temperature. Modeling of electron scattering in diamond for the (100) orientation, which is favored for electronic device applications, was carried out. The physical parameters extracted from experimental data fitting provide insight into the upper limit for electron mobility in (100) n-type diamond.
