Summary: Regular rhombic crystals have been synthesized via interface reaction using an 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative coordinated with Zn2+ ions. The crystal size can be controlled by the concentration of the ligand solution. The rhombic crystal exhibits a red-shifted absorption band and orange emission compared to the benzonitrile substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline ligand. Many stacked lamellas were observed in the synthesized crystal, formed by strong interaction forces induced by nitrile groups on the lamella surface.

Summary: The essential aim of this research is to use Phy-X/PSD software to analyze photon attenuation properties of Cu2-II-SnVI4 (II=Mn, Fe; VI =S, Se, Te) quaternary semiconducting compounds at photon energies between 15 keV and 15 MeV. The parameters of photon interaction were determined, and the software was used to compute each sample's R, Zeq, and build-up factors. The HVL and MFP values were compared to previous studies and it was found that Cu2FeSnTe4 is the optimum composite for gamma-ray attenuation and has good neutron attenuation characteristics.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the impact of different monovalent ions on the nucleation and growth rates of CaCO3 precipitation. Results show that the use of Na2CO3 led to faster nucleation kinetics, while (NH4)2CO3 stabilized vaterite and hindered its transformation. The growth rate was found to be influenced by crystal size and magma density, with the ion effect likely related to the ionic radius of the foreign ion.

Summary: A high-performance composite photocatalyst was prepared by using TiO2 nanoflowers dominated by high-energy {001} facets as template and Zn-Cu-In-Se (ZCISe) quantum dots (QDs) as sensitization material. The composite exhibited significantly improved photocatalytic abilities for Rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light. The enhancements were attributed to the unique surface hetero-junctions and improved charge transport and separation characteristics.

Summary: In this study, the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) as structure directing agents on the growth of tungsten trioxide crystals by solvothermal method in acetonitrile solution were investigated. The presence of PEG and L-dopa led to a change in crystal growth mechanism, resulting in the transformation of crystal faces from stacked layers to smooth facets. The rate of crystal formation and growth was significantly increased in the presence of 5 w% PEG. The crystals grown in the presence of L-dopa were octahedral WO3·0.5H2O with smooth faces, while those grown in the presence of PEG were octahedral and rectangular microcrystals of WO3·H2O. The transparency and electro-optical properties of the crystal layers were improved in the presence of PEG.

Summary: In this study, a film of a carborane-thiol-protected tetranuclear copper cluster with characteristic orange luminescence was fabricated and utilized using ambient electrospray deposition. The clusters were deposited at an air-water interface to form a film by charged microdroplets produced by an electrospray tip. The porous surface structure of the film was characterized by different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Visible and rapid quenching of the emission of the film upon exposure to 2-nitrotoluene vapours under ambient conditions was observed.

Summary: The effect and mechanism of carrier gas velocity, V/III ratio, and carrier gas velocity match on the growth rate of AlN were investigated in this study. The results showed that the growth rate of AlN initially increased with hydrogen flow rate, reached saturation, and then decreased monotonically. The turning point value depended on the equipment and process. By increasing the MO VM, the growth rate of AlN could be improved, but the uniformity deteriorated due to turbulence and loss of uniform boundary layer. High quality AlN films were successfully grown on nano-patterned sapphire substrates with improved crystalline quality and atomic smooth surfaces.

Summary: This study investigates the melting process and nucleation behavior of sodium crystals using molecular dynamics simulation. The results show good agreement between simulated and experimental values for the melting temperature, density, and radial distribution function of sodium. The diffusion coefficient of liquid sodium increases linearly with temperature, and the homogeneous nucleation rate of melting in superheated sodium crystal exponentially increases with temperature. The findings provide theoretical support for applications involving heat and mass transfer in sodium-related systems.

Summary: Epitaxial V2O3 films were fabricated on sapphire substrates using mist chemical vapor deposition (mist CVD) method, eliminating the need for high vacuum conditions. The films can be grown on sapphire substrates even under atmospheric pressure, with the optimal growth temperature at 823 K. The films grown at 823 K exhibit a metal-insulator transition at approximately 155 K. The film on C-plane sapphire exhibits a lower transition temperature compared to those on R- and A-plane sapphire substrates.

Summary: The effect of growth temperature on the buffer leakage currents of GaN-on-Si layers was investigated. It was found that higher growth temperature results in lower leakage currents. The defects in GaN layers grown at different temperatures were studied using photoluminescence technique, and a correlation between leakage currents, structural perfection, and donor concentration in GaN-on-Si layers was established. It was also observed that reduced growth temperature leads to the formation of inversion domains.
