Motivated by the recent observation of Klein tunneling in 8-Pmmn borophene, we delve into the phenomenon in β borophene by employing tight-binding approximation theory to establish a theoretical mode. The tight-binding model is a semi-empirical method for establishing the Hamiltonian based on atomic orbitals. A single cell of β borophene contains five atoms and multiple central bonds, so it creates the complexity of the tight-binding model Hamiltonian of β borophene.

However, the effects of DOM on the formation of Fe(III) hydroxysulfate (FHS) and its environmental implications are poorly understood. In this study, fulvic acid (FA) was used as a model DOM compound, and experiments were devised to investigate the effects of FA on the formation of FHS.
