Fluorescent poly(tannic acid)-based nanoprobes for selective and sensitive detection of bismuth ions.

Herein, blue luminescent fluorescent poly(tannic acid) nanoparticles (FPTA NPs) were fabricated through chemical degradation of poly(tannic acid) large particles using HO, and the obtained FPTA NPs exhibited excellent water dispersibility, great fluorescence stability, and relatively high quantum yield. More importantly, based on the dynamic quenching and chelation enhanced quenching effect between FPTA NPs and bismuth ions (Bi), a fluorescence method for the rapid identification and detection of Bi was developed. With the increase of Bi, the fluorescence of FPTA NPs could be quenched gradually; the linear range was 0.

Molecular dynamics simulating the effects of Shockley-type stacking faults on the radiation displacement cascades in 4H-SiC.

Four-layer hexagonal silicon carbide (4H-SiC) is a promising material for high-temperature and radiation-rich environments due to its excellent thermal conductivity and radiation resistance. However, real 4H-SiC crystals often contain Shockley-type stacking faults (SSF), which can affect their radiation resistance. This study employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method to explore the effects of SSF on radiation displacement cascades in 4H-SiC.
