A series of APF:Mn (A = Cs, Rb, K) phosphors with single phases were obtained via a simple ion exchange method. These phosphors can exhibit red emission with a broad excitation band in the blue region. The optimized concentration of Mn in APF:Mn was determined. The Racah parameters B and C of Mn in APF:Mn were also calculated. The results indicate that Mn in CsPF:Mn experiences the weakest crystal field among APF:Mn. The phosphor CsPF:Mn prepared with the HPF/KMnF molar ratio of 10 : 1 has the strongest red emission and the highest external quantum efficiency of 50.4% among the samples. It has high thermal quenching resistance and its emission intensity at 160 °C is about 1.1 times higher than that at room temperature. This sample also can remarkably improve the color rendering index and decrease the colour rendering index of white light-emitting diodes (w-LEDs). Hence, CsPF:Mn could be used as a red-emitting phosphor for warm w-LEDs.

Analysis of glass-based artworks is important for authentication purposes. In recent years, there have been rapid advancements and improvements in the characterization of glass objects using different analytical approaches. The present study presents an interdisciplinary and multi-analytical authentication approach that provides useful tools and markers to unmask possible imitations, counterfeiting, and forgeries in Cultural Heritage glass beads by comparing the composition of historical and modern glass beads.

As a heavy metal contaminant, mercury ion (Hg) has caused great harm to environment and life. Mercury ions will migrate and transform in the environment and eventually accumulate in the human body, thus causing human poisoning. Therefore, it is of great significance to detect Hg in the environment and living bodies.

Inorganic phosphori are widely used in food, whose quantitative detection method is of significance. This work presents a Sm-DDB (HDDB = 1,3-di(3',5'-dicarboxylphenyl)benzene), which acts as a ratiometric fluorescence sensor to monitor PO, HPO, and (PO) with high sensitivity. The determination factors of pH, MOF dosage, and fluorescence response time are optimized as 7.

Background: Episodic memory change is among the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles in limbic regions serves as a key indicator of the initial tau abnormality. This study aimed to investigate the correlations between episodic memory change and quantitative tau deposition specifically in Braak stage 3-4 Limbic regions among participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia.

Background: In cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults, the presence of a subjective cognitive decline (SCD) combined with evidence of abnormal b-amyloid (Ab) is proposed as stage 2 of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by the NIA-AA framework (Jack et al., 2018). However, the associations found between SCD and preclinical AD are inconsistent across studies, highlighting the importance of better understanding which specific SCD features are associated with either Ab or tau burden.
