Article Abstract
We demonstrate that the interaction of intense femtosecond light on a plain solid substrate can be substantially altered by a few micron layer coating of bacterial cells, live or dead. Using E. Coli cells, we show that at an intensity of 10(16)W cm(-2), the bremsstraahlung hard x-ray emission (up to 300 keV), is increased by more than two orders of magnitude as compared to a plain glass slab. Particle-in-cell simulations carried out by modeling the bacterial cells as ellipsoidal particles show that the hot electron generation is indeed enhanced by the presence of microstructures. This new methodology should pave way for using microbiological systems of varied shapes to control intense laser produced plasmas for EUV/x-ray generation.

In this study, we analyze InO thin-film transistors (InO-TFT) using synchrotron-based hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in conditions. A bottom-gate InO-TFT with a high- AlO gate dielectric, grown on thermally oxidized silicon (SiO/p-Si), was examined while operating at varying and . The results reveal that the In 3d core level binding energy varies along the horizontal channel length, driven by the potential gradient induced by .

Emergent ferromagnetism on the surface of two-dimensional (2D) MXene is investigated by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and angle-dependent hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES). Focusing on CrN as one of the 2D-MXenes, high quality bilayers of CrN/Co and CrN/Pt are prepared by a magnetron sputtering technique. XMCD reveals the induced magnetic moment of Cr in the CrN/Co interface, while it is not observed in the CrN/Pt interface at room temperature.

Lipids are commonly added to starchy foods to improve both their sensory attributes and nutritional value. This study investigated the regulatory mechanisms of butter and soybean oil on the starch structure and digestibility in cooked chestnut paste (CCP). X-ray diffraction and complexing indices revealed the formation of V-type crystalline complexes, with soybean oil exhibiting a stronger complexation capacity due to its the flexible properties of unsaturated fatty acids.

The design of multidentate ligands incorporating both hard and soft donors is of fundamental interest and importance in coordination chemistry. Here, we report a novel class of tetradentate dianionic bisphenolate-bisphosphine (PO) ligands featuring hybrid hard (phenolate) and soft (phosphine) donor atoms. Titanium(IV) and titanium(III) chloride complexes of the PO ligands were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, solution magnetic susceptibility measurements (Evans method) and EPR spectroscopy, revealing distorted octahedral geometries and providing insight into coordination modes and spin states.

Objectives: To assess the stability of hard tissue following simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the anterior maxilla, analyze the impact of the buccal bone arch contour on postoperative bone remodeling and restorative outcomes.
Methods: Patients who underwent anterior maxillary implantation and simultaneous GBR were included. Radiographic metrics were evaluated using preoperative, immediate postoperative, and follow-up cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) scans, and esthetic indicators were extracted from follow-up clinical records.
