Article Abstract
In this study, an investigation was conducted on the structural and photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of LaAlBO (LAB) phosphors initially incorporated with Dy and Eu ions. Subsequently, the impact of varying Eu concentration while maintaining a constant Dy concentration was examined. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). XRD analysis confirmed the effective embedding of both dopants into the hexagonal framework of the LAB. The PL emission spectra revealed characteristic emissions of Dy (blue and yellow) and Eu (red) ions. The optimized dopant concentrations of both Dy and Eu were observed to be 3 wt%. The dominant mechanism for concentration quenching in doped LAB phosphors was determined to be the electric dipole-dipole interaction. Co-doping with Eu led to a substantial decrease in Dy emission intensity (∼0.18-fold) while enhancing Eu emission intensity (∼3.72-fold). The critical energy transfer distance (R = 11.64 Å) and the analysis based on the Dexter theory confirmed that the energy transfer mechanism corresponds to dipole-dipole interaction. The color purities and correlated color temperatures (CCT) were estimated, suggesting the potential of these phosphors for warm white and red lighting applications, respectively. The observed energy transfer and luminescence properties, along with the structural and compositional characterization, highlight the promising potential of LAB:Dy/Eu co-doped phosphors for advanced lighting and display technologies.

Context: This study investigates the radiation tolerance of a SiGe source vertical tunnel field effect transistor (VTFET) under heavy ion-induced single event effects (SEEs). Single event effects (SEEs) occur when high-energy particles interact with semiconductor devices, leading to unintended behavior. The effect of high energy ions on the VTFET is examined for various linear energy transfer (LET) values and at multiple ion hit locations.

The development of innovative bioprocessing technologies has resulted from the growing global need for sustainable forms of energy and environmentally friendly waste treatment. In this review, we focus on the combined electro-fermentation and microbial fuel cells, as they form a hybrid system that simultaneously addresses wastewater treatment, bioenergy production, and bioplastics. Even though microbial fuel cells produce electricity out of the organic waste by the use of electroactive microorganisms, electro-fermentation improves the microbial pathways through the external electrochemical management.

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation is a pillar of synthetic chemistry. While it is generally accepted that Pd is more facile than Ni in C-H activation catalysis, there are no experimental platforms available to directly compare the magnitude of C-H bond weakening between Ni and Pd prior to bond scission. This work presents the first direct measurements of C(sp)-H bond acidity (p) and bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) for a species containing a ligated alkane-palladium interaction (RCH···Pd), also known as an agostic interaction.

Light-harvesting complex IIs (LHCIIs) are the major antenna in higher plants, balancing light capture through photoprotection. While it naturally forms trimers, stress conditions can induce monomerization, altering pigment interactions. Here, we explored how molecular oxygen affects triplet excited-state dynamics in LHCII monomers using time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

The formation of carbinolamine represents the crucial initial step in the aldol reaction, specifically involving the interaction between p-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetone, facilitated by amine-catalyzed mesoporous silica nanoparticles (amine-MSN). In this process, a nitrogen atom from propylamine, which acts as the catalytic moiety, engages in the formation of a covalent bond with a carbon atom from acetone, leading to the generation of a carbinolamine intermediate. This reaction is significantly influenced by the presence of silanol groups located on the surface of the amine-MSN, which contribute to the catalytic activity.
