Synergistic Enhancement of Carrier Migration by SnO/ZnO@GO Heterojunction for Rapid Degradation of RhB.

Organic dyes in natural waters jeopardize human health. Whether semiconductor materials can effectively degrade dyes has become a challenge for scientific research. Based on this, this study rationally prepared different nanocomposites to remove organic dyes effectively.

Stereochemically Active Tin(II)-Induced Enhancement of Birefringence in Sn Sn (PO ) and SrSn(PO )PO (OH).

Two new tin(II) phosphates, Sn Sn (PO ) and SrSn(PO )PO (OH) , were synthesized by the high-temperature solution method and hydrothermal method, respectively. Theoretical study indicates that by introducing tin(II) with stereochemical activity lone pairs (SCALP) in metal phosphates, the birefringence was enhanced, 0.048@1064 nm for Sn Sn (PO ) and 0.

SnBOCl Achieving Birefringence Enhancement by Stereochemical Activity Lone Pair.

SnBOCl was successfully obtained for the first time under the sealed environment and crystallized in the space group belonging to the orthorhombic system, which is featured by the fundamental building blocks [BO] that are linked to construct a three-dimensional framework with Cl and Sn atoms located inside and at the edge of the channel to balance the charge. Moreover, the optical performance measurement shows that SnBOCl owns a cutoff edge of about 280 nm. Theoretical study indicates its large optical anisotropy with the birefringence 0.

Second-Harmonic Generation-Positive NaGaSiS with a Broad Band Gap and a High Laser Damage Threshold.

The development of high-power solid-state lasers is in urgent need of new infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) materials with a wide band gap and a high laser-induced damage threshold. A new infrared nonlinear optical material NaGaSiS has been synthesized for the first time, crystallizing in the 2 (no. 43) noncentrosymmetric space group.

Influence of geography and climate on patterns of cell size and body size in the lizard Anolis carolinensis.

Geographic patterns in body size are often associated with latitude, elevation, or environmental and climatic variables. This study investigated patterns of body size and cell size of the green anole lizard, Anolis carolinensis, and potential associations with geography or climatic variables. Lizards were sampled from 19 populations across the native range, and body size, red blood cell size and size and number of muscle cells were measured.
