Published: June 2014

Thin films of double-perovskite structural LaBaCo2O5.5+δ were epitaxially grown on (110) NdGaO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Microstructural studies by high-resolution X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the films have an excellent quality epitaxial structure. In addition, strong in-plane anisotropic strains were measured. Electrical transport properties of the films were characterized by an ultra-high-vacuum four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy system at different temperatures. It was found that the anisotropic in-plane strain can significantly tune the values of film resistance up to 590%.

Context: The structural stability, ground state magnetic order, electronic, elastic and thermoelectric properties of NdMn in the C15, C14 and C36 polytypic phases is investigated. The magnetic phase optimization and magnetic susceptibility reveal that NdMn is antiferromagnetic (AFM) in C36 phase; and paramagnetic (PM) in C14 and C15 phases respectively. The band profiles and electrical resistivity show the metallic nature in all these polytypic phases and reveal that the C36 phase possesses smaller resistivity.

Carbon dioxide capture has attracted worldwide attention because CO emissions cause global warming and exacerbate climate change. Ionic liquids (ILs) have good application prospects in carbon capture due to their excellent properties, which provide a new chance to develop efficient and reversible carbon capture systems. This paper reviews the recent progress in CO chemical absorption by ILs, such as N-site, O-site, C-site, and multi-site functionalized ILs.

Today, weed control in agricultural systems is largely based on the use of synthetic pesticides. However, the use of these compounds is increasingly controversial among farmers and consumers, who point to their harmful properties for human health and the environment. In this context, the development of eco-friendly agricultural approaches and practices is becoming essential, and allelopathy represents a promising solution.

[FeFe] hydrogenases make up a structurally diverse family of metalloenzymes that catalyze proton/dihydrogen interconversion. They can be classified into phylogenetically distinct groups denoted A-G, which differ in structure and reactivity. Prototypical Group A hydrogenases have high turnover rates and remarkable energy efficiency.

Metallic interfaces are locations where hydrogen (H) is expected to segregate and lead to the formation and stabilization of defects. This work focuses on the tungsten/copper (W/Cu) interface built according to theWbcc(001)/Cuhcp(112¯0)orientation. H behavior is subsequently determined at the interface and in its vicinity with electronic structure calculations based on the density functional theory.
