Simple co-precipitation procedure was used to synthesize Bi4Ge3O12 (BGO) powder. The obtained powder was tested for radiation detection properties. Flash time have decreased by 50 % compared to a single crystal for both α- and γ-produced scintillation. Faster flash time allows to create radiation detectors with better time and space resolution, while use of BGO in powder form allows to reduce the cost of detectors.

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as promising materials for next-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their solution processability, tunable emission wavelengths, narrow emission linewidths, and high photoluminescence quantum yields. Among them, anisotropic nanocrystals, including one-dimensional nanorods (NRs) and two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs), offer additional opportunities for controlling transition dipole moment orientation and light out-coupling efficiency. These ...

The use of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as extractants for metal ion separation is largely due to the ease of their preparation and the possibility of modifying them depending on the composition of the metal mixture to be separated. However, the most common approach to DES modification involves the replacement of the extractant, while ...

Two voluminous polymer silver(I) salts of perchlorinated dodecoborate clusters, {[(Me2CO)Ag(μ-Me2CO)2Ag(Me2CO)][μ-B12Cl12]}n (1) and {[DMFAg(μ-DMF)2AgDMF][μ-B12Cl12]}n (2) were synthesized. The 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy supplemented with the X-ray diffraction data was applied for identifying and analyzing noncovalent interactions Cl···X in these salts. Whereas in X-ray diffraction, noncovalent interactions are associated with the presence of the shortened ...

Despite the well-established importance of chalcogen bonding in crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry, experimental charge density data for TeII-centered chalcogen bonds have remained entirely absent, leaving the electronic nature of these interactions uncharacterized at the level of directly measured electron density. Here, we report the first high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) study of TeII-centered chalcogen bonds, ...

Off-stoichiometric boron-doped chemically complex intermetallic alloys (CCIMAs) have recently emerged as a new avenue for overcoming the low temperature brittleness of ordered superlattices. However, their behavior at high temperatures remains unexplored. In this study, a novel (Ni39.6Co29.3Cr10Al15.8Ta3.3Nb2)98.5B1.5 CCIMA was prepared and its oxidation resistance over a wide temperature range (500 °C–950 °C) was studied. The ...

The effects of dislocations on the mobility of gas nanobubbles pinned to them are considered as novel unex- plored mechanisms of accelerated fission gas release and investigated using classical molecular dynamics of helium bubbles in FCC aluminum. Non-equilibrium methods are developed to calculate the mobility of a pinned bubble both along and across the dislocation ...

We report a high-performance implementation of the resolution-of-the-identity Hartree–Fock method that fully exploits the permutational symmetry of three-center electron repulsion integrals (ERI). The present implementation adopts a hybrid MPI+OpenMP parallelization strategy. Two different algorithmic approaches (with and without the pre-transformation of ERIs) are compared. A custom data layout introduced previously is employed. Designed to efficiently ...

The development of lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dot (QD) photodetectors for short-wave infrared (SWIR) applications has been fundamentally limited by the thermodynamic instability of large PbS QD facets, which leads to aggregation and epitaxial fusion. In this work, robust thermodynamic stabilization was achieved by introducing methylammonium chloride (MACl) in PbS QD surface passivation, as validated ...

Targeted protein degradation represents a promising therapeutic strategy, yet its broader application is often limited by the scarcity of usable E3 ligases. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a key target for inducing ferroptosis, but achieving sustained and potent inhibition remains challenging with conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Herein, we report the first small‐molecule GPX4 degraders that incorporate ...

We develop a three-mode statistical-mechanical theory for a two-conformer
solute in a near-critical solvent. A compressible lattice model with
vacancies yields the Gaussian free-energy functional for a critical conserved
density, an orthogonal noncritical conserved mode, and the local conformer
fraction. Their couplings follow from packing and cohesive interactions,
rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Kawasaki transport of the
two conserved fields and ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...

A heptafluorobutyric acid-induced cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of arylamines with 1,2,4-triazines has been described. This metal-free protocol enables regioselective para-C–H hetarylation of diverse arylamines including well-known fluorophore scaffolds, such as triphenylamine, carbazole, and phenothiazine, with easily accessible 1,2,4-triazines under mild conditions. This approach has potential for drug development and material design. ...

Three new Hg(II) bromide complexes, HgBr2L (1–3) (L1 = N′-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)isonicotinohydrazide, L2 = N′-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)isonicotinohydrazide, L3 = N′-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazide), have been synthesized in good yields and thoroughly characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses unveil that complexes 1 and 3 are mononuclear, while complex 2 is dinuclear. All complexes further assemble into one-dimensional supramolecular chains mediated by N–H···N hydrogen bonds, which are reinforced by π···π stacking and Br···Br halogen interactions. Systematic variation ...

Interaction of thioindigo dianions with metal phthalocyanines, MPc, where M = MgII, MnII, AlIIICl and SiIVCl2, in the presence of cryptand[2.2.2] produces anionic and neutral complexes: {Crypt(K+)}2{(trans-thioindigo2−)⋅(MgIIPc)2}2−⋅2C6H4Cl2 (1); {Crypt(Cs+)}2{(trans-thioindigo2−)⋅(MnIIPc)2}2− (2), {Crypt(K+)}{(cis-Hthioindigo−)2⋅(AlIIIPc)}− (3) and {(cis-Hthioindigo−)2⋅(SiIVPc)} (4).
