Enhanced nonlinear optical response of alkalides based on stacked Janus all--1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane.

Significant efforts are continuously exerted by the scientific community to explore new strategies to design materials with high nonlinear optical responses. An effective approach is to design alkalides based on Janus molecules. Herein, we present a new approach to remarkably boost the NLO response of alkalides by stacking the Janus molecules.

An operator splitting scheme for numerical simulation of spinodal decomposition and microstructure evolution of binary alloys.

This article compares the operator splitting scheme to linearly stabilized splitting and semi-implicit Euler's schemes for the numerical solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation. For the purpose of validation, the spinodal decomposition phenomena have been simulated. The efficacy of the three schemes has been demonstrated through numerical experiments.

Radiosynthesis, radiochemical, and biological characterization of Lu-labeled diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid.

Diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA), when complexed with a gamma (γ)-emitter radioisotope like Tc, is used for renal function diagnosis and many other diagnostic applications. The main aim of this study was to develop a novel and versatile single-step methodology for the synthesis of a new Lu-labeled radiopharmaceutical with high radiochemical yield, which can be used for diagnostic purposes and therapeutic purposes also. The single and well-defined Lu-DTPA complex was radiochemically characterized by paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and electrophoresis techniques.
