Fast electrons produced by a 10 ps, 160 J laser pulse through laser-compressed plastic cylinders are studied experimentally and numerically in the context of fast ignition. K(α)-emission images reveal a collimated or scattered electron beam depending on the initial density and the compression timing. A numerical transport model shows that implosion-driven electrical resistivity gradients induce strong magnetic fields able to guide the electrons. The good agreement with measured beam sizes provides the first experimental evidence for fast-electron magnetic collimation in laser-compressed matter.

This study presents a novel approach to water contamination remediation by developing cobalt-doped carbon nanofiber films using electrospun ZIF-67 precursors, aiming to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and other antibiotics. This method uniquely combines the advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and electrospinning to enhance catalytic performance, demonstrating significant innovation in environmental catalysis. The research systematically evaluated the impact of various factors on the catalytic activity of carbonized PAN@ZIF-67 films (CPZF), including carbonization temperature, ZIF-67 content, and PMS dosage.

Ferrous oxalate (FeCO)-based composite has been recognized as an eminent catalyst for Cr(III)-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (Cr(III)-EDTA) decomplexation. However, their practical application has been limited by low cycling capacity and an ambiguous mechanism. In this research, a composite catalyst consisting of biotite loaded with nano FeCO (CFS90) was prepared directly from iron-containing silicate tailing.

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.

Perovskite-based photodetectors (PDs) are broadly utilized in optical communication, non-destructive testing, and smart wearable devices due to their ability to convert light into electrical signals. However, toxicity and instability hold back their mass production and commercialization. The lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite film, promised to be an alternative, is fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD), which compromises film quality.

When combined with certain metal species, films of amorphous Ge or Si can have their typical crystallization temperatures decreased, by a factor of three or four, down to ~ 200 °C. The phenomenon is called metal-induced crystallization (MIC) and, since its first observation in the late 1960's, shows a great technological potential in producing (poly-)crystalline films of Ge or Si onto low-melting point substrates under reduced energy conditions. From the scientific point of view, the microscopic mechanisms behind the MIC phenomenon (still) represents a scientific challenge, where most of the proposed models are invariably influenced by the samples details giving the impression that they only apply to very specific metal-semiconductor combinations and/or circumstances.
