The optical properties and their temperature dependence of two rare earth orthophosphates, CePO 4 GdPO , are presented.

Despite the recent success of CdS/Sb2Se3 heterojunction devices, cadmium toxicity, parasitic absorption from relatively narrow CdS band gap (2.4 eV) and multiple reports inter-diffusion at interface forming Cd(S,Se) Sb2(S,Se)3 phases, present significant limitations to this device architecture. Among options for alternative partner layers in antimony chalcogenide solar cells, wide gap, non-toxi...

Zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid metal halides are under intensive investigation owing to their unique physical properties, such as the broadband emission from highly localized excitons that is promising for white-emitting lighting. However, fundamental understanding of variations and structure–property relationships still limited. Here, by using pressure processing, we obtain robust exciton in 0D ...

We propose an adaptive reversible data hiding method with superior visual quality and capacity in which an adaptive generalized difference expansion (AGDE) method is applied to an integer-to-integer subband transform (I2I-ST). I2I-ST performs the reversible subband transform and the AGDE method is a state-of-the-art method of reversible data hiding. The results of experiments we performed objec...

The angular-dependent magnetoresistance (AMR) of the ab plane is measured on single crystals iron-chalcogenide FeSe 1– x S ( = 0, 0.07, 0.13 and 1) y Te 0.06, 0.61 at various temperatures under fields up to 9 T. A pronounced twofold-anisotropic carrier-scattering effect identified by AMR, attributed a magnetic-field-induced spin nematicity that emerges from tetragonal normal-state regime below ...

      Punica granatum is used as a medicinal plant, and its fruit concentrate has been used for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases in Iran. The effects of different concentrations of the hydroalcoholic, ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts of the Punica granatum (fruit juice and seed) were investigated against CCl4- induced cytotoxicity in HepG2...
