X-ray scintillators are widely used in medical imaging, industrial flaw detection, security inspection, and space exploration. However, traditional commercial usually associated with a high use cost because of their substantial toxicity easy deliquescence. In this work, an atomically precise Au–Cu cluster scintillator (1) thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) property was facilely syn...

an increase in heavy metal pollution in the soils of arak due to industrialization and urbanization has become an environmental problem. the region hosts several industrial facilities which are the main source for hazardous wastes which include electric, metal, automotive supply industry, food, machinery, and chemicals. soil samples were collected from these industrial areas in the central and ...

Relatively little is known about structural transformations of very small metal clusters that result from the adsorption of molecules. Here, the ligand-induced structural transformation of Ag(5)(+)(g) by 1,4-cyclohexadiene, which is capable of binding metal clusters as a bidentate ligand, is investigated using equilibrium mass spectrometry experiments and theory. Based on the measured sequentia...

The adsorption of three- and four-atom Ag and Pd clusters on the alpha-Al(2)O(3) (0001) surface is explored with density functional theory. Within each adsorbed cluster, two different cluster-surface interactions are present. We find that clusters simultaneously form both ionic bonds with surface oxygen and intermetallic bonds with surface aluminum. The simultaneous formation of disparate elect...
