Article Abstract
Sensitivity is an important factor determining successful mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of metabolome, protein, drugs, and environmental samples. Currently, nanoelectrospray ionization (ESI) is widely used as a sensitive ionization method. However, application of nano-ESI is limited to polar molecules and there is no atmospheric pressure ionization technique developed that can be used for MS analysis of low- and nonpolar compounds with sensitivity that can match with nano-ESI. Herein, we propose paper spray chemical ionization (PSCI) as an ionization technique that can be used to analyze low- and nonpolar aromatic compounds with high sensitivity. PSCI is based on paper spray ionization utilizing corona discharge phenomenon. PSCI can sensitively and quantitatively detect down to picogram (or femtomole) levels of low- and nonpolar aromatic compounds.

Unveiling the polarization switching pathway through tetragonal phase as a metastable intermediate state in ferroelectric HfZrO thin film.

The polarization switching pathway in HfZrO-based ferroelectric thin film is still not well clarified and agreed, limiting the fundamental physical understanding and performance engineering. The key question lies in clarifying the transient intermediate state during the polarization switching of orthorhombic phase. In this work, by designing the ferroelectric and dielectric stacks, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a polarization switching pathway through an orthorhombic-tetragonal-orthorhombic phase transition in ferroelectric HfZrO where the non-polar tetragonal phase is metastable.

Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), banned by the Stockholm Convention, pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health due to their carcinogenicity and bioaccumulation potential. However, highly sensitive methods for the detection of PCNs in complex matrix samples are limited. Herein, several novel deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were synthesized, and the optimal DES was selected as a green monomer for the preparation of a molecularly imprinted cryogel/graphene oxide (MIC/GO) composite using molecularly imprinted and cryogelation techniques.

Ferroelectrics under suitable electric boundary conditions can present a negative capacitance response, whereby the total voltage drop across the ferroelectric opposes the externally applied bias. When the ferroelectric is in a heterostructure, this behavior yields a voltage amplification in the other elements, an effect that could be leveraged in low-power electronic devices. Interestingly, the mentioned voltage amplification should have an accompanying elastic effect.

Low resolution coarse-grained (CG) models provide exceptional computational efficiency for simulating soft materials. Consequently, many studies employ CG models to determine free energy surfaces along order parameters or reaction coordinates of interest. However, because CG models average over atomic details, it is challenging to determine the energetic and entropic contributions to the resulting free energy surfaces.

2D semiconductors are promising channel materials for next-generation thin-film transistors (TFTs) in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, their inert, dangling-bond-free surfaces make uniform high-k dielectric integration challenging and can lead to interface defect formation. Here, a scalable inter-dielectric engineering strategy is introduced to address this challenge, using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) to deposit an ultrathin nonpolar poly(1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-trivinylcyclotrisiloxane) (pV3D3) film as an interlayer between MoS and HfO.
