Summary: In this paper, the behavior of photoexcited plasma in GaAs1-xBix/GaAs (1.7 < x < 8.6%) heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy was investigated using Raman spectroscopy. The results showed the strong LO phonon-plasmon coupled mode (LOPC), indicating good carrier mobility in the GaAsBi/GaAs heterostructure. The carrier density increased with increasing Bi content, while the optical mobility decreased with increasing Bi content, possibly due to increased defect density at lower growth temperatures.

Summary: The study reports band line-up and band offset calculations of GaAs0.978Bi0.022/GaAs single quantum well with spatial changes of Bi composition. By determining the spatial Bi profile and a certain amount of Bi composition in the barrier layer, models including strain effects were used to obtain conduction and valence band edge shifts with Bi incorporation. Photoluminescence measurements were performed at a low temperature, showing different optical transition types under low and high intensity excitations.

Summary: We investigated the effect of VSb/IIIIn flux ratio and growth temperature on the Bi content of InSbBi material grown on an InSb substrate using molecular beam epitaxy. Results showed that 98.5% of the Bi atoms were incorporated into the material in substitutional sites. We demonstrated that a kinetic model of the growth can accurately predict the Bi content by considering the extremely low desorption/hopping probability of Sb on the InSb surface due to its low growth temperature and weaker In-Bi bond. The model suggests an activation energy for Sb to displace Bi of 1.27 eV and a Bi desorption energy barrier on the InSb surface of 0.29 eV.

Summary: Due to the lack of high-purity copper ores, the copper industry has turned to exploit low-impurity ores containing As, Sb, and Bi, which can affect the quality of the final product. This study aims to develop an environmentally friendly and circular approach by selectively separating and recovering Sb and Bi from HCl stream polluted with As.

Summary: A series of complexes were prepared from p-block elements and indole-3-acetic acid, categorized as a plant hormone from the auxin class. These complexes were characterized analytically, spectrally, and theoretically, showing potential advantages over the original ligand. Additionally, drug-likeness outcomes suggested potential bioactive behavior of some complexes within living cells, particularly Sn(II) and Pb(II) complexes.
