Pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) using a modified Davies-type [Phys. Lett. 47A, 1 (1974)] sequence is employed to study the hyperfine (HF) structure of the photoexcited triplet state of pentacene dispersed in protonated and deuterated p-terphenyl single crystals. The strong electron spin polarization and long phase memory time of triplet pentacene enable us to perform the ENDOR measurements on the S=1 spin system at room temperature. Proton HF tensor elements and spin density values of triplet pentacene are extracted from a detailed angular-dependent study in which the orientation of the magnetic field is varied systematically in two different pentacene planes. Analysis reveals that the pentacene molecule is no longer planar in the p-terphenyl host lattice. The distortion is more pronounced in the deuterated crystal where the unit cell dimensions are slightly smaller than those of the protonated crystal.

Pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (PD-EPR) measurement is a powerful technique for characterizing the interactions and conformational changes of biomolecules. The extraction of these distance restraints from PD-EPR experiments relies on manipulation of spin-spin pairs. The orthogonal spin labeling approach offers unique advantages by providing multiple distances between different spin-spin pairs.

Although MoSe-based photodetectors have achieved excellent performance, the ultrafast photoresponse has limited their application as an optoelectronic synapse. In this paper, the enhancement of the rhodamine 6G molecule on the memory time of MoSe is reported. It is found that the memory time of monolayer MoSe can be obviously enhanced after assembly with rhodamine 6G exhibiting synaptic characteristics in comparison to pristine MoSe.

The corrosion resistance of nickel-titanium nitride (Ni/TiN) composites is significantly influenced by the operation parameters during the jet pulse electrodeposition (JPE) process. The effect of current density, jet rate, TiN concentration, and duty cycle impact on the anti-corrosion property of Ni/TiN composites were investigated and optimized using the response surface method (RSM). After the optimization of the operation parameters, the corrosion current of Ni/TiN composites decreased from 9.
