The synthesis of sodium 2-chlorobenzylidenepyruvate and its corresponding acid as well as binary, binary together with it’s acid or hydroxo-2-chorobenzylidenepyruvate of aluminium (III), gallium (III) and indium (III), were isolated. Chemical analysis, thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and X-ray powder di...

One can mention the importance of the other 13 group elements (triel elements), aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium. For example, aluminium is the second-most used metal after steel, largely because it is so versatile while nearly all gallium is used today in electronics. Numerous advantageous properties of triel elements are a consequence of the acidity of their compounds – the triel centr...

Optimally doped silver selenide and silver telluride exhibit linear positive magnetoresistance over decades in magnetic field and on a scale comparable to the colossal magnetoresistance compounds. We use hydrostatic pressure to smoothly alter the band structure of Ag-rich and Ag-deficient samples of semiconducting Ag(2 +/-delta)Te of fixed stoichiometry and disorder. We find that the magnetores...

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer such as urea has been key to increasing crop productivity and feeding a growing population. However, the conventional production relies on energy-intensive processes, consuming approximately 2% of annual global energy. Here, we report more-sustainable electrocatalytic approach that allows for direct selective synthesis from nitrate carbon dioxide with an indium hyd...

Abstract The p-type characteristic of solution-processed metal halide perovskite transistors means that they could be used in combination with their n-type counterparts, such as indium–gallium–zinc-oxide transistors, to create complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor-like circuits. However, the performance and stability perovskite-based do not yet match which limit broader application. Here we r...

Local manipulation of the defect structures in 2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (2D TMD) opens rich research avenues harnessing their unique optoelectronic properties, where reliable structure formation methods are highly desirable. Here, concept optical soldering (OS) on few-layer MoS2 to form site-selective with induced photoluminescence (PL) is proposed and demonstrated. OS ...

2014 We report resistivity measurements along the high conductivity axis of (TMTSF)2AsF6 for various hydrostatic pressures up to 12 kbar, and for transverse magnetic fields of up to 70 kOe, in the temperature range 0.1 K-300 K. We derive a phase diagram which shows a « triple » point near Tc = 1.22 K and Pc = 10.5 kbar, and a reentrant behaviour of the superconducting state inside the semicondu...

We report the use of networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with high and moderate coverages (measured as number of tubes per unit area) for all of the conducting (i.e., source, drain, and gate electrodes) and semiconducting layers, respectively, of a type of transparent, mechanically flexible, thin-film transistor (TFT). The devices are fabricated on plastic substrates using layer-...

Interest in to the energy saving technology of by adopting low emissive glass for conventional building has been rapidly increasing [1]. Low emissivity (Low-e) glass has been widely used to increase the energy efficiency of windows. Low-e glass has advantages, such as a high transmittance of about 80% or more in the visible range and a low emissivity in the infrared (IR) range [2]. Recently, OM...
