Kagome-lattice crystal is crucial in quantum materials research, exhibiting unique transport properties due to its rich band structure and the presence of nodal lines and rings. Here, we investigate the electronic transport properties and perform first-principles calculations for NiInSekagome topological semimetal. First-principles calculations of the band structure without the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) shows that three bands are crossing the Fermi level (), indicating the semi-metallic nature.

Magnetic field dependent Hall resistivities of the single crystals indicate that the holes are the majority carriers. The field dependent resistivity curves at different temperatures of the crystals display cusp-like characteristics at low magnetic fields, attributed to two-dimensional (2D) weak antilocalization (WAL) effect.

A step-scheme CdS/MnO-BiVO photocatalyst was synthesized by spatial deposition of MnO and one-dimensional (1D) CdS nanowires on a three-dimensional (3D) decahedron BiVO surface. The photocatalytic activity of CdS/MnO-BiVO for the overall water-splitting reaction was investigated without sacrificial reagent under visible light irradiation.

The evolution of Raman spectra with different elemental substitutions at the Mn site was also studied, where the peak width increased with doping of higher mass elements (Co, Cu, Fe and Ni). UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy on polycrystalline Mn A WO (A = Co, Cu, Fe and Ni) (0 ⩽ [Formula: see text] ⩽ 0.

Osteoporosis in its most common form affects the elderly (both sexes) and all racial groups of human beings. Multiple environmental risk factors like acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are believed to be one of the causes of osteoporosis.
