Summary: The growth of high-quality protein crystals is essential for protein structure analysis. Twisting is identified as one of the main residual defects in high-quality crystals, determining their perfection. The handedness of twisting may be attributed to the interaction of chiral protein molecules with asymmetric units in crystal forms. This study provides insights into the growth mechanism and control of high-quality crystals.

Summary: This study reveals the crystalline quality of the dilute bismide alloy GaAs1-x Bi x grown on a GaAs(001) substrate using molecular beam epitaxy, with the substrate temperature and As flux playing a dominant role in the crystal structure and Bi introduction. The characterization shows that a substrate temperature of 250 degrees C produces a single crystalline GaAs0.982Bi0.018 film, while a lower temperature of 180 degrees C results in an amorphous film.

Summary: Pure and Tm3+-doped Ca-3(VO4)(2) crystals were grown by the Czochralski method, with X-ray diffraction analysis revealing the crystal compositions and the locations of Tm3+ ions. Spectral analysis showed octahedral coordination for Tm3+ ions and tetrahedral coordination for V5+ ions. The spectral-luminescent properties of CVO:1.0 wt%Tm crystal are consistent with structural results obtained.

Summary: Doubly alkylene bridged 6,13-diphenylpentacene and analogously bridged azapentacenes have been prepared and are shown to be persistent. These doubly bridged azapentacenes exhibit superior photochemical, oxidative, and thermal stabilities compared to azapentacenes protected by bis(TIPS-ethynyl) substituents. Clipping an azaacene into a large ring is a viable complement in stabilization.

Summary: Rare-earth Nd-doped lead zinc niobate-lead titanate (Nd:PZN-PT) and W-doped lead zinc niobate-lead titanate (W:PZN-PT) single crystals were grown by self-flux technique, with pure perovskite phases observed. The doped crystals showed enhanced relaxor behavior, as evidenced by diffuse phase transitions and frequency dispersive phenomena in the dielectric peaks. Additionally, doping had a significant impact on the dielectric constant, AC conductivity, and piezoelectric properties of the crystals, with a simple domain switching mechanism observed in the hysteresis behavior.

Summary: Crystals of a new ternary compound, Ca3InAs3, have been successfully synthesized in the Ca-In-As family. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group and has InAs4 tetrahedra as the smallest building motifs. Electronic structure calculations confirm the opening of a bandgap and show intermediate covalent/ionic interactions between Ca and As, as well as strong covalent features of the In-As interactions.

Summary: Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to investigate the application of a Zn12O12 nanocage as an anode material in Na-ion batteries (NIBs). The pure nanocage showed low performance, but encapsulating a chloride led to a significant increase in voltage, surpassing carbon nanotubes and C24 fullerene.

Summary: This study investigated the structures of two Se chains confined inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), revealing that the chains were linear and parallel. The covalent bond between Se and SWCNT was found to be stronger than that between Se and trigonal Se (t-Se). The interaction between chains was attributed to the overlap of electronic orbitals, and the disappearance of this overlap in the encapsulated Se chains enhanced the covalent bonds.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the electronic and thermoelectric properties of rare-earth half-Heusler XPtBi (X = Gd, Nd, Y) topological semimetals compounds using density functional theory. Our results indicate that the inclusion of spin orbit coupling has a significant impact on the electronic band structure and spin order, making it promising for spintronic applications. We found different topological states in these compounds and observed enhanced power factor in YPtBi with the inclusion of SOC.

Summary: In this study, we elucidate the hopping mechanism of hydrogen at intermediate temperature using a combination of experimental data and theoretical calculations. We find that the transition from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling is attributed to resonant tunneling, which is achieved through the resonant tunneling of discrete vibrational states between the edge octahedral site and the tetrahedral site. We also demonstrate that the tunneling rate can be tuned by energy level matching.

Summary: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with quantum confinement and size effects show great potential for sensing applications. This computational study investigates the adsorption performance of pristine and transition metal-doped coronene GQDs to hazardous gases. The results suggest that doping with chromium (Cr) or nickel (Ni) enhances the gas adsorption performance, with Cr-doped GQDs showing strong interaction with gas molecules and potential as a gas remover, and Ni-doped GQDs showing potential as a CNCl sensor.

Summary: This study investigates the polarized optical absorption and Raman spectra of -5 nm diameter tellurium nanowires confined in chrysotile asbestos nanotubes. The results show a strong interaction between the nanowires and light polarized parallel to the nanowires, while a weaker interaction is observed for light polarized perpendicular to the nanowires. This has significant implications for photonic and photo-electric applications.

Summary: Fe-based nanowires containing nonmagnetic elements, fabricated using a pulse electrodeposition method in porous anodic alumina membranes, exhibit magnetic tunability. The magnetic properties of Fe100-xSnx NW arrays, with a diameter of about 35 nm, such as coercivity and squareness values, decrease with increasing Sn content. The structure of the FeSn NWs, dominated by Fe or FeSn alloy crystal phase, can be either single domain or pseudo-single domain states depending on the Sn content.
