Subsequent stages of atomic-deficient nanostructurization finalizing rare-earth functionality under Pr3+-doping in Ga2(As0.28Sb0.12Se0.60)98 glass are studied employing method of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. Genesis of free-volume positron trapping sites, composed of atomic-accessible geometrical holes (void cores) arrested by surrounding atomic-inaccessible Se-based bond-free s...

Using density functional theory and the Hubbard U method, we investigated the geometric structure, electronic structure, and optical property of Al/Ga-codoped ZnO. A 3 × 3 × 3 ZnO supercell was used to construct Al- and Ga-monodoped ZnO structures and Al/Ga-codoped ZnO (AGZO) structures. All three structures showed n-type conduction, and the optical band gaps were larger than that of pure ZnO. ...

A bstract The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) offers a powerful theoretical framework for parameterizing the low-energy effects of heavy new particles with masses far above scale electroweak symmetry breaking. Additional light degrees freedom extend effective theory. We show that are weakly coupled to SM via non-renormalizable interactions induce non-zero Wilson coefficients in SM...

Background: COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is defined as a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles and gases. Tobacco smoke remains the main etiological agent. COPD inflammation initiated by tobacco smoke...

We present a new route for mass-production of B and P codoped all-inorganic colloidal Si nanocrystals (NCs) from hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ). Codoped Si NCs are grown in glass matrices by annealing mixture solutions of HSQ and dopant acids, and then extracted from the matrices by hydrofluoric acid etching. The free-standing NCs are dispersible in methanol without any surface functionalization...

Photocatalytic degradation of fast green using pure and N-S codoped bimetal nanoparticles CeCdO3 has been studied. The CeCdO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by wet precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The rate of photocatalytic reaction was examined spectrophotometrically using pure and N, S-codoped catalyst. The effect ...

Nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) is an alternative excitation mechanism in colloidal quantum dot (QD) based electroluminescent devices (QLEDs). Here, we develop hybrid highly spectrally pure QLEDs that facilitate energy transfer pumping via NRET from a phosphorescent small organic molecule-codoped charge transport layer to the adjacent QDs. A partially codoped exciton funnelling electron tra...
