We study the spin-lattice relaxation of the nuclear spins in a liquid or a gas entrapped in nanosized ellipsoidal cavities with paramagnetic impurities. Two cases are considered where the major axes of cavities are in orientational order and isotropically disordered. The evolution equation and analytical expression for spin lattice relaxation time are obtained which give the dependence of the relaxation time on the structural parameters of a nanocavity and the characteristics of a gas or a liquid confined in nanocavities. For the case of orientationally ordered cavities, the relaxation process is exponential. When the nanocavities are isotropically disordered, the time dependence of the magnetization is significantly non-exponential. As shown for this case, the relaxation process is characterized by two time constants. The measurements of the relaxation time, along with the information about the cavity size, allow determining the shape and orientation of the nanocavity and concentration of the paramagnetic impurities.

Phenylacetylene is a detrimental impurity in the polymerisation of styrene, capable of poisoning catalysts even at ppm levels and significantly degrading the quality of polystyrene. The semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene instead of ethylbenzene is, therefore, an important industrial process. We report a novel cerium(iv)-based metal-organic framework (denoted as Ce-bptc), which comprises {Ce} clusters bridged by biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate linkers.

The recent interest in using ultrafast single-photon detectors in research and commercial applications has garnered significant attention from the scientific community. The dynamic event in the detection process consists of a photon causing local destruction of the order parameter, and then the applied current dissipates heat, bringing the material even more out of the superconducting state and then spiking a voltage peak in a measurement device. We investigated the role of superconducting and thermal parameters of the Generalized Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau (GTDGL) theory within the event of the first vortex penetration and the thermal dissipation in superconductors near the critical temperature.

Organic-inorganic hybrid crystals have diverse functionalities, for example in energy storage and luminescence, due to their versatile structures. The synthesis and structural characterization of a new cobalt-vanadium-containing compound, 2[Co(en)](VO)·4HO (1) is presented. The crystal structure of 1, consisting of [Co(en)] complexes and chains of corner-sharing (VO) tetrahedra, was solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the centrosymmetric space group P1.

The cubic perovskite SrMoO with a paramagnetic ground state and remarkably low room-temperature resistivity has been considered as a suitable candidate for the new-era oxide-based technology. However, the difficulty of preparing single-phase SrMoO thin films by hydrogen-free sputtering has hindered their practical use, especially due to the formation of thermodynamically favorable SrMoO impurity. In this work, we developed a radio frequency sputtering technology enabling the reduction reaction and achieved conductive epitaxial SrMoO films with pure phase from a SrMoO target in a hydrogen-free, pure argon environment.
