Direct vapour transport grown CuSnS crystals: exploring structural, elastic, optical, and electronic properties.

Copper tin sulphide (CuSnS) (CTS) has emerged as a potent material for applications in photovoltaic, thermoelectric, electrochemical, biological, and other fields. CTS has superior properties such as non-toxicity, direct bandgap, p-type conductivity, variable crystal structure, alterable morphology and ease of synthesis, and it is a better substitute for conventional semiconductor materials. In the present work, CTS crystals were grown using direct vapour transport.

Exploring New Schiff Bases: Synthesis, Characterization, and Multifaceted Analysis for Biomedical Applications.

The current work aims to generate novel Schiff bases by reacting substituted aldehydes with amine derivatives catalyzed by a natural acid. The developed compounds underwent diverse physicochemical analyses including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, H- and C-nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, differential thermogravimetric, thermogravimetric, and differential thermal analysis techniques were employed in a nitrogen-free environment to determine kinetic parameters.

Synthesis, Spectral Characterization, Thermal Investigation, Computational Studies, Molecular Docking, and Biological Activities of a New Schiff Base Derived from 2-Chloro Benzaldehyde and 3,3'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine.

The current research involves the synthesis of a new Schiff base through the reaction between 2-chlorobenzaldehyde and 3,3'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine by using a natural acid catalyst and a synthesized compound physicochemically characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, H- and C-nuclear magnetic resonance, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thermal studies were conducted using thermogravimetric, differential thermal analysis, and differential thermogravimetric curves. These curves were obtained in an inert nitrogen environment from ambient temperature to 1263 K using heating rates of 10, 15, and 20 K·min.

Pristine, Ni- and Zn-Doped CuSe Nanoparticles: An Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxicity Study.

The strategy of chemical coprecipitation is implemented to synthesize nanoparticles of pristine CuSe, 5 and 10% Ni-doped CuSe, and 5 and 10% Zn-doped CuSe. All of the nanoparticles are found to be near stoichiometric by the evaluation of X-ray energy using electron dispersion spectra, and the elemental mapping shows uniform distribution. By X-ray diffraction examination, all of the nanoparticles are identified as being single-phase and having a hexagonal lattice structure.

Two-dimensional molybdenum tungsten diselenide alloys: photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and electrical transport.

Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys have attracted intense attention due to their tunable band gaps. In the present work, photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and electrical transport properties of monolayer and few-layer molybdenum tungsten diselenide alloys (Mo1-xWxSe2, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) are systematically investigated. The strong photoluminescence emissions from Mo1-xWxSe2 monolayers indicate composition-tunable direct band gaps (from 1.
