We propose the use of a prism with nonlinear optical properties to improve the prism-coupling method. The principle is based on the inscription of an adapted waveguide inside this prism by beam self-trapping to enhance the coupling efficiency and stability. The experimental demonstration is realized with a prism diced from a LiNbO3 wafer to couple light into a resonator.

Unusual Iron-Independent Ferroptosis-like Cell Death Induced by Photoactivation of a Typical Iridium Complex for Hypoxia Photodynamic Therapy.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Ferroptosis is a unique cell death mode that relies on iron and lipid peroxidation (LPO) and is extensively utilized to treat drug-resistant tumor. However, like the other antitumor model, requirement of oxygen limited its application in treating the malignant tumors in anaerobic environments, just as photodynamic therapy, a very promising anticancer therapy. Here, we show that an iridium(III) complex (Ir-dF), which was often used in proton-coupled electron transport (PCET) process, can induce efficient cell death upon photo irradiation, which can be effectively protected by the typical ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 but not by the classic iron chelating agents and ROS scavengers.

This study proposes a green and efficient atom- and step-economical method for converting hazardous CS to dithiocarbamate derivatives under visible light irradiation and catalyst-free conditions. By the construction of novel C-S and C-N bonds, a series of β-dicarbonyl compounds and amines are incorporated into the products. Under light, CS and amine first form bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfides, which then react with KCO-activated β-dicarbonyl compounds to form electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes and subsequently generate the target products.

COVID-19 disease, triggered by SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, has led to more than 7.0 million deaths worldwide, with a significant fraction of recovered infected people reporting postviral symptoms. Smart surfaces functionalized with nanoparticles are a powerful tool to inactivate the virus and prevent the further spreading of the disease.

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) induced nontrivial bandgap and complex Fermi surface has been considered to be profitable for thermoelectrics, which, however, is generally appreciable only in heavy elements, thereby detrimental to practical application. In this study, the SOC-driven extraordinary thermoelectric performance in a light 2D material Fe₂S₂ is demonstrated via first-principles calculations. The abnormally strong SOC, induced by electron correlation through 3d orbitals polarization, significantly renormalizes the band structures, which opens the bandgap via Fe 3d orbitals inversion, exposes the second conduction valley with weak electron-phonon coupling, and aligns the energy of Fe 3d and S 3p orbitals with divergent momentum in valence band.

In this study, a commercially available polypropylene homopolymer (H-PP) was blended with blow molding polyethylene (PE) grade via melt mixing using a compounding machine. The resulting blends were subjected to high-temperature size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis, coupled with infrared-5 (IR-5), viscometer (VISCO), and multi-angle laser light scattering (MALS) detectors. The molecular weight (MW) and MW distributions were investigated using SEC, and the exact blend compositions were evaluated using C nuclear magnetic resonance.
