The laser properties of Nd:YPO crystal were demonstrated for the first time. For a 1.2 at.% doped Nd:YPO crystal, the absorption cross-section at 803 nm, stimulated emission cross-section at 1063 nm, and fluorescence lifetime was measured to be 8.1 × 10 cm, 1.6 × 10 cm, 156 μs, respectively. With an as-grown 0.6 mm thin slice which was unpolished and uncoated, efficient diode-pumped continue-wave (CW) laser operations were realized at 1.06 and 1.3 μm wavebands. The 1063 nm output power reached 2.16 W when the absorbed pump power was 4.07 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical efficiency of 53%, and a slope efficiency of 56.4%. The 1.3 μm laser output exhibited the simultaneous operations of dual-wavelengths, i.e. 1338 and 1347 nm. The maximum output power was 800 mW at an absorbed pump power of 3.08 W, giving an optical-to-optical efficiency of 26% and a slope efficiency of 28.2%.

A novel biomimetic molecular imprinted polymer chip with fluorescence (FL) and structural (STR) states, inspired by color patterns of chameleon skin, is fabricated for detecting diethylstilbestrol (DES). The chip features a regularly structured, non-closed-packed (NCP) colloidal photonic crystal (CPC) lattice made monodisperse MIP spheres containing fluorescence poly ionic liquid (FPIL) pigments. The FL color originates from FPIL pigments and is further enhanced by the Purcell effect, while the STR color results from the periodic arrangement of the NCP CPC structure.

The nonheme iron(II) complexes containing a fluoride anion, Fe(BNPAO)(F) () and [Fe(BNPAOH)(F)(THF)](BF) (), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of dioxygen to either or led to the formation of a fluoride-bridged, dinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe(BNPAO)(F)(μ-F)] (), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, H NMR, and elemental analysis. An iron(II)(iodide) complex, Fe(BNPAO)(I) (), was prepared and reacted with O to give the mononuclear complex -Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(I) ().

The interplay between quantum effects from magnetic frustration, low-dimensionality, spin-orbit coupling, and crystal electric field in rare-earth materials leads to nontrivial ground states with unusual magnetic excitations. Here, we investigate YbTaO, which hosts a buckled square net of Yb ions with = 1/2 moments. The observed Curie-Weiss temperature is about -1 K, implying an antiferromagnetic coupling between the Yb moments.

Widespread geogenic uranium (U) contamination of Indian groundwaters is of serious concern; yet little is known of the dominant forms and release mechanisms of U in these aquifers. Interestingly, manganese (Mn)-rich aquifers, highly buffered by dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and saturated with rhodochrosite [MnCO], have shown low U (

To overcome the limitations of traditional Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination, Membrane Distillation (MD) has gained attention as an effective solution for improving the treatment of seawater and RO brine. Despite its potential, the formation of inorganic scales, particularly calcium sulfate (CaSO), continues to pose a major challenge. This research aims to explore the scaling mechanisms in MD systems through a combination of experimental analysis and dynamic modeling.
