A Zn-doped SbTe flexible thin film with decoupled Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity band engineering.

SbTe-based flexible thin films can be utilized in the fabrication of self-powered wearable devices due to their huge potential in thermoelectric performance. Although doping can significantly enhance the power factor value, the process of identifying suitable dopants is typically accompanied by numerous repeating experiments. Herein, we introduce Zn doping into thermally diffused p-type SbTe flexible thin films with a candidate dopant validated using the first-principles calculations.

Humic acid (HA) enhances colloidal transport in porous media, yet the mechanisms by which the HA adsorption conformation affects colloid transport remain unclear. This study investigated the influence of HA on the transport of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated soil colloids (TPHs-SC) in saturated sand columns. The presence of TPHs on the colloidal surface occupied adsorption sites, hindering HA from forming a horizontal adsorption conformation, as observed on uncontaminated soil colloids (SC).

Pressure-Induced Engineering of Surface Oxygen Vacancies on Metal Oxides for Heterogeneous Photocatalysis.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Photocatalysis on Energy and Environment, College of Chemistry, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, China.

Oxygen vacancies (OVs) spatially confined on the surface of metal oxide semiconductors are advantageous for photocatalysis, in particular, for O-involved redox reactions. However, the thermal annealing process used to generate surface OVs often results in undesired bulk OVs within the metal oxides. Herein, a high pressure-assisted thermal annealing strategy has been developed for selectively confining desirable amounts of OVs on the surface of metal oxides, such as tungsten oxide (WO).

Introduction: A main feature of CDH is lung hypoplasia and the related presentation of pulmonary hypertension and cardiac dysfunction. Multiple factors influence pulmonary status after CDH: degree of hypoplasia, ventilator-induced injury, altered growth and development of pulmonary structures, reduced diaphragm function and chest wall abnormalities. The evolution of pulmonary sequela in this population is still unclear.

Synaptic cleft geometry modulates NMDAR opening probability by tuning neurotransmitter residence time.

Biophys J

Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of California San Diego, CA 92093, USA; Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California San Diego, CA 92093, USA. Electronic address:

Synaptic morphology plays a critical role in modulating the dynamics of neurotransmitter diffusion and receptor activation in interneuron communication. Central physical aspects of synaptic geometry, such as the curvature of the synaptic cleft, the distance between the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes, and the surface area-to-volume ratio of the cleft, crucially influence glutamate diffusion and N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor (NMDAR) opening probabilities. In this study, we developed a stochastic model for receptor activation using realistic synaptic geometries.
