Article Abstract

Anomalous NIR emission has been reported in Cr-doped SrPO, despite the Cr ions occupying nonstandard nine-coordinated Sr sites. Through first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that these environments induce structural distortions and nonradiative relaxation channels, effectively quenching luminescence. Photoluminescence data and energetic analysis instead attribute the observed emission (∼840 nm) to a coexisting phase, Sr(PO), where Cr substitutes for six-coordinated Sr, which is successfully verified in experiment. Furthermore, a miniature NIR pc-LED incorporating this phosphor enables biomedical imaging and nondestructive inspection, underscoring its practical relevance.

Hybrid metal halide semiconductors containing "electronically active" organics are an arising subclass of materials that derive remarkable emergent optical properties from blending organic orbitals with the photophysics of metal halide semiconductors. Although this subclass has been known for some time, the majority of reported compounds are lead halides, and there is a paucity of systematic studies investigating the influence of structure and composition on organic energy levels in these materials. Herein we report the first viologen tin hybrids to be published in the form of: HVSnI (HV = hydroviologen), MeVSnI (MeV = methylviologen), and EtVSnI (EtV = ethylviologen).

Water is known for its anomalous properties; however, changes in its properties between the 40-60 °C temperature range remain poorly understood, particularly in complex aqueous systems. In this study, α-cyclodextrin, urea, poly(vinyl alcohol), and an inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin with an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Cmim]PF), were found to exhibit dichotomous behavior, rather than just an anomaly or a progressive shift in water and its binary mixtures. Using temperature-dependent dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, physicochemical measurements, and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, a sharp and additive-independent transition in hydrodynamic particle size was observed, which was centered around 50 °C.

Spectroscopic measurement of near-infrared soil pH parameters based on GhostNet-CBAM.

Soil pH is an important parameter that affects plant nutrient uptake and biological activity and has received extensive attention and research. In this paper, we propose a neural network algorithm using Ghostnet combined with Convolutional Block Attention Module (CABM) to realize the near-infrared (NIR) PH spectral measurement of soil. The method firstly utilizes Monte Carlo Cross Validation (MCCV) method to reject the anomalous samples in the data, and then uses GhostNet combined with CBAM algorithm to train and predict the PH values of the four Lucas soil spectral data measured by the two different methods, and compares the prediction results with those of PLSR and VGGNet-16 methods.

Self-electrochemiluminescence (self-ECL) can deal with the problems of limited electron transport efficiency, reduced signal stability, and redundant ECL processes. A feasible solution is to assemble the luminescent components and coreactant radicals together. Here a self-ECL material was designed relying on a europium-based metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF, ZL-2) with 1,10-phenanthroline and CO as ligands under strong alkaline conditions.
