Flow-Rate-Controlled Agglomeration and Ambient Oxide Phase Characteristics of Spark-Ablated Copper Nanoparticles

Spark ablation is an attractive gas-phase route for producing ligand-free metal nanoparticles, yet control over agglomeration and phase evolution during deposition remains challenging. The influence of carrier gas flow rate and deposition time on the agglomerate morphology, size...

Ligand Engineering Controls Near-Infrared Emission, Quantum Efficiency, and Photoluminescence Lifetimes in Dimetallic Ru(II) Complexes

Abstract The exceptional photophysical and electrochemical properties of Ru(II) complexes support broad applications in optoelectronic functional materials and bioimaging, particularly those Ru(II) complexes which show near-infrared (NIR) luminescence. This study reports ligands...

Overcoming Sampling Limitations Using Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials: The Case of Water-in-Salt Electrolytes

Abstract Machine-learned interatomic potentials hold the promise to enable the modeling of highly concentrated liquids over meaningful time scales, far from reach for current ab initio electronic structure methods. Here we evaluate the performances of various MACE potentials in m...

Unveiling how belief and boundary controls shape organizational citizenship behaviors and withdrawal cognitions in government: a test of mediating and moderating effects

Purpose This study aims to examine how belief and boundary controls influence managers’ withdrawal cognitions in the governmental sector. Drawing on person-organization fit theory, it investigates the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and the moderating...

A complete dichotomy theorem on the sparse t-uniform hypergraphicality problem

We prove a complete dichotomy theorem for the parameterized sparse t -uniform hypergraphical degree sequence problem, sparse - t - uni - HDS α ′ , α . For any fixed t ≥ 3 , given parameters 0 ≤ α ′ ≤ α < t − 1 , the input consists of degree sequences D of length n with degrees be...

Resolving Peptide-Based Supramolecular Architecture Emerging at Reactive Copper/Water Interface

Abstract Understanding how molecular interactions evolve into ordered architectures at reactive solid/liquid interfaces remains a major challenge because surface reactivity can profoundly influence adsorption mechanisms. In such systems, multiple interfacial processes, including...

Characterization of Adsorption-Induced Deformation Behaviors in Microporous Dipodal Organosilane-Based Hybrid Silica Films

Abstract The distinctively high surface area of nanoporous solids (pore size <100 nm) makes them one of the most relevant classes of materials in adsorption-related applications. During vapor adsorption, stresses arising at the fluid–solid interface due to strong interactions wit...

Protocols on X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Measurement and Interpretation

Abstract Understanding the local electronic and atomic structure of materials is central to modern physics, chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides element-specific insight into these local environments through core-level X-r...

Life finds its way in seaports: environmental DNA monitoring in the Grand Port Maritime de Guadeloupe shows vertebrate richness but reduced phylogenetic diversity

Abstract Ports are increasingly recognized as distinct urban marine ecosystems (UME) shaped by intense human activities, yet their biodiversity remains poorly documented, particularly in tropical regions. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a powerful, non-invasive appr...

Entrepreneurship in côte d'Ivoire: exploring colonial, cultural and religious influences on entrepreneurial engagement

Purpose This paper critically examines how colonial history, cultural values and religious influences intersect to shape entrepreneurship in Côte d’Ivoire. Adopting a decolonial perspective, it explores how the legacies of colonial extraction and postcolonial governance continue...

Symmetry-AdaptedRelaxation Theory (SART): VariationalEmbedding for Convergent Infinite-Order Induction without Overpolarization

Abstract The induction part of intermolecular interaction energy describes the effect of the mutual polarization of subsystems. Low-order induction effects can be reasonably described by symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), but the capture of important higher-order polari...
