Magnetic field effects (MFEs) in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have been shown to influence the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and to impact on electroluminescence (EL) and conductivity. Here, we present a novel model combining Cole-Cole and Lorentzian functions to describe low and high magnetic field effects originating from hyperfine coupling, the Δg mechanism, and triplet processes. We applied this approach to organic light-emitting devices of third generation based on tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA) and 2,2',2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi), exhibiting blue emission, to unravel their loss mechanisms.

The ice-covered period of large Arctic rivers is shortening. To what extent will this affect biogeochemical processing of nutrients? Here we reveal, with silicon isotopes (δSi), a key winter pathway for nutrients under river ice. During colder winter phases in the Lena River catchment, conditions are met for frazil ice accumulation, which creates microzones.

To maximize its efficacy and minimize side effects, carriers must deliver radionuclides to target tissues. Most of the nuclides used in TAT decay via the alpha cascade, producing several radioactive daughter nuclei with sufficient energy to escape from the original carrier.

One of the promising options to improve PRRT is targeted alpha therapy. It is therefore essential to propose animal models that can mimic systemic spread disease, especially microscopic disease such as early stage of NET liver metastases to explore targeted alpha therapy.

However, the spin effects sensitively depend on the binding and ordering of the chiral species on surfaces. This study explores the adsorption of chiral thioether-functionalized atomically precise bismuth oxido nanoclusters (BiO-NCs) on gold (Au) surfaces, extending the conventional approach of using thiol-containing molecules and complexes to nanoclusters.
