The potential energy function of the ground X (3)Σ(g)(-) electronic state of (16)O(2) has been obtained in analytical form by employing a fully quantum-mechanical direct potential fitting method. Term values generated from highly precise Dunham coefficients were employed in the direct fit, yielding a potential energy function that is accurate up to υ = 31, or up to an energy that is 90% of the dissociation limit. The term values are represented with a standard deviation of 0.0031 cm(-1) by the quantum-mechanical eigenvalues of the derived potential energy function. There is considerable evidence for N-dependent nonadiabatic coupling between the ground X (3)Σ(g)(-) electronic state and the b (1)Σ(g)(+) excited electronic state.

Synergy between superconductivity and ferromagnetism may offer great opportunities in nondissipative spintronics and topological quantum computing. Yet at the microscopic level, the exchange splitting of the electronic states responsible for ferromagnetism is inherently incompatible with the spin-singlet nature of conventional superconducting Cooper pairs. Here, we exploit the recently discovered van der Waals ferromagnets as enabling platforms with marvelous controllability to unravel the myth between ferromagnetism and superconductivity.

Microalgae offer a promising alternative for sustainable nutritional supplements and functional food ingredients and hold potential to meet the growing demand for nutritious and eco-friendly food alternatives. With the escalating impacts of global climate change and increasing human activities, microalgal production must be enhanced by reducing freshwater and land use and minimizing carbon emissions. The advent of 3D printing offers novel opportunities for optimizing microalgae production, though it faces challenges such as high production costs and scalability concerns.

Enhanced high-energy proton radiation hardness of ZnO thin-film transistors with a passivation layer.

Nano Converg

January 2025

Advanced Radiation Technology Institute, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, 29 Geumgu-gil, Jeongeup-si, Jeolabuk-do, 56212, Republic of Korea.

Metal-oxide thin-film semiconductors have been highlighted as next-generation space semiconductors owing to their excellent radiation hardness based on their dimensional advantages of very low thickness and insensitivity to crystal structure. However, thin-film transistors (TFTs) do not exhibit intrinsic radiation hardness owing to the chemical reactions at the interface exposed to ambient air. In this study, significantly enhanced radiation hardness of AlO-passivated ZnO TFTs against high-energy protons with energies of up to 100 MeV is obtained owing to the passivation layer blocking interactions with external reactants, thereby maintaining the chemical stability of the thin-film semiconductor.

Quantum chemical studies of carbon-based graphene-like nanostructures: from benzene to coronene.

J Mol Model

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Espírito Santo, Av. Min. Salgado Filho, Vila Velha, 29106-010, Espírito Santo, Brazil.

Context: This study presents quantum chemical analysis of 14 distinct carbon-based nanostructures (CBN), ranging from simple molecules, like benzene, to more complex structures, such as coronene, which serves as an exemplary graphene-like model. The investigation focuses on elucidating the relationships between molecular orbital (MO) energies, the energy band gaps, electron occupation numbers (eON), electronic conduction, and the compound topologies, seeking to find the one that approaches most of a graphene-like structure for in silico studies. Through detailed examination of molecular properties including chemical hardness and chemical potential, we demonstrate that the electronic exchange between orbitals is directly influenced by the structural topology of the carbon-based nanostructures, as the electron occupation numbers and the molecular orbital energies.
