Summary: In this study, we investigated the oxidation stability of h-BN by examining different modifications of its structure using an atomistic thermodynamics approach. It was found that oxygen is deposited on the surface of h-BN as peroxide without dissociation up to temperatures of about 1700 K. At higher temperatures, oxygen tends to be incorporated into the lattice of h-BN, except when defects are present. The electronic and magnetic properties of the oxidized h-BN were also analyzed.

Summary: Boron-doped graphite with reduced interlayer spacing was successfully prepared by heat treatment using B4C powder as a catalyst. The increase in catalyst mass ratio resulted in a significant increase in substituted boron content and further reduction in interlayer spacing. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the effects of substitutional boron atoms on interlayer spacing may be attributed to pi electron transfer, increase in electrostatic surface potential, and Poisson contraction along the c-axis.

Summary: Thiobases or sulfur-substituted nucleobases have been developed and recognized as a prospective class of heavy-atom-free photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. In this study, thionated BODIPY analogues were prepared by replacing oxygen with sulfur atom, exhibiting red-shifted absorption band, remarkable fluorescence quenching, high singlet oxygen quantum yield, and excellent photostability. The substitution of sulfur stabilizes the LUMO level and destabilizes the HOMO level, reducing the energy gap and shifting the absorption to long wavelength. The replacement of O by S-atom plays a crucial role in enhancing the intersystem crossing and generating reactive oxygen species.

Summary: In this study, a fluorescent probe named BODIPY was developed for the detection of Cu2+ ions. The probe showed high selectivity and a low detection limit. It exhibited fluorescence quenching and absorption spectrum red-shift with increasing Cu2+ concentration, possibly due to the intramolecular charge transfer effect of the probe-Cu(II) complex. Furthermore, the probe was also used for imaging Cu2+ in living cells.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.
